Home decor Shopping

November 2, 2017August 30, 2020Books, brooklyn, shoppingLeave a Comment

Maybe its because the weather isn’t done flip flopping that I’ve had more luck looking racking up a list of home decor items rather than fall clothing items, but I am sure that once Veteran’s Day sale alerts begin rolling into my inbox, I’ll have better luck. In the meantime, looking for some home items that will define my home in a playful way.

Banana leaves print: $6.50
