Creative Living, Canine Love & Italian Inspiration ๐จ๐พ๐ฅ
Welcome to Pups, Paint & Prosecco! Iโm Ruth an artist, devoted dog mum, journalist and enthusiastic explorer with a deep love for art, travel, and a splash of Italian lifestyle.
Originally from the small, sun-soaked island of Malta, Iโve always felt a deep connection to Italian culture (Florence feels like my second home!). My constant companion, Roy โ a spirited red miniature poodle who brings daily doses of joy, fur, and inspiration to my life โ is my sidekick in all things creative. Together, we explore everything from brushstrokes on canvas to cobblestone streets, blending our love for art, travel, and the small, charming details of daily life.
Pups, Paint & Prosecco is all about celebrating a mix of everything that makes life interesting – dog mum tips, my latest art projects, behind-the-scenes glimpses with my poodle (he has quite the personality!), and collaborations with local and foreign artisans. Whether Iโm sharing pet care tips, my art, travel stories, interviews with influential personalities and artisans or a few prosecco toasts to celebrate the little moments, I hope this space brings inspiration and fun to your day.
Stay tuned for a bit of beauty, laughter, heartwarming stories, artistic inspiration and pawprints along the way. Cheers to finding joy in the details! ๐๐ฉ๐๏ธ
