Eid decor
It’s difficult to feel festive on Eid when the society you live in is not celebrating. It is the first Eid my husband and I are not in big family gatherings. A good friend of mine once said: Sometimes you have to create yourself the things that are missing (love to the inspiring Kübra Gümüsay). […]
