Succulents & sips
On July 25th, 2020 we hosted our Succulents & Sips Garden Party!
Each attendee got 3x cork fridge magnets, 1x cork box & 1x hanging bottle planter with their choice of succulents to fill inside.
We featured six different Evolve Wines for the tasting part of our event which you can see below.
If you would like to order any extra bottles, please email us at storybookwineclub@gmail.com
Thank you to all our Cork Poppers who were able to attend either in-person or via Zoom! We had such a lovely time and it was so nice to see everyone.
Thank you to Valarie & Ken for hosting us at their lovely Garden/House.
Thank you to Valarie & Corinne for being our informative Green Goddesses & helping with all our pretty & cute succulents.
