What the print says

A crusty loaf of bread sits on a wooden board at the top left, paired with the wish that the house may never know hunger. Below it, a dark wine bottle and glass stand beside purple grapes, representing the desire for joy and prosperity to reign forever. On the right side, a bowl of coarse salt and a honey dipper over a jar of honey symbolize flavor and the sweetness of life. At the bottom, a glass cruet of olive oil and a single white candle in a holder represent health and guiding light. Green olive branches weave between these objects, framing the central text which concludes with the script phrase "bless your new home" beneath a decorative leafy flourish.
