Beauty...in the eye of the beholder.

I've been so fortunate to find such beauty in my daily round.


These pretty leaves hugging a concrete wall near Oak Bay Avenue.


The blue coloured berries stood out against the grey concrete.
How could I just walk by and not capture this image?
They are sumptuous and stunning...almost sensual.


A sweetly scented and frothy yellow rose blooms in Our Humble Bungalow Garden.
I love those wee dewdrops on the petals...
Mother Nature paints such a beautiful picture on our planet.


I've been enjoying the silver arm party bangles this past week.
Always the crow...drawn to shiny things...
I'd buy more bangles if I found some that "spoke to me."


The grand children and I had "lunch" together!


Nom Nom!


I've been wearing this Burberry print scarf most days.
I love the simple infinity style.
This Chanel Orchidee lipstick picks up the colour in the pattern of the scarf


It's an easy tie...
place over head, twist front twice around and then loop the open circle around your head.
Voila!


I've been spritzing on my "winter scent."
I just read that this is Ines de la Fressange's signature fragrance!

For daily pictures please follow me on Instagram...
click the picture of the Hydrangea on my side bar and you can view my IG page.

There's not a lot happening to report...thank you for popping by.
Hope that your week is ticking along nicely.

I also wear Mitsouko in winter Hostess! I love the photo of the berries. What a beautiful color they are.

A lovely mix of images, Hostess!

Fun with grandchildren is always wonderful - I love the pretty pink utensils. And the pretty Chanel lipstick too, a perfect match which really suits you. Are those blueberries that you can eat? I have never seen them growing, but am happy that they are currently in our shops for me to enjoy.

Sound as though you're having a lovely week Hostess. I've enjoyed seeing all your pictures ...especially the yellow rose, "lunch with your grandchildren" and your bangles! I always think how perfect they are for every occasion ...especially when they can bring you such obvious joy on a daily basis. I don't wear jewellery regularly but I m thinking I would like some silver bangles :) Something for my Christmas list! Thank you!
The shade of your lipstick really suits you and tones so well with your scarf.
Enjoy the rest of the week.

Not real sure about lunch with the grand children but the rest looks good.

Have a lovely week

Apologies ... I left my comment on the 7th November post!
Love the shade of that Chanel lipstick. I recently bought a Chanel lipstick but I didn't like the texture as much as the cheaper Boots No 7 ones that I usually buy.

All so beautiful!

Aren't those blue berries Concord grapes? That shade of lipstick looks very nice on you, particularly with that scarf. I won't say what your "lunch" looks like - how sweet, though, that they made it for you ��

Jeannine said...

Sorry about the odd question marks on my comment. They're supposed to be a smiley face! Haha.

They very well may be grapes...they are stunning to look at!
Lunch was not ingested...it was a play doh play date!

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

I figured as much!

It is a lovely scent...I have trouble finding it locally and usually have to go to Vancouver to buy it. In Paris it was displayed on most every fragrance counter!

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

Autumn is such a beautiful time of year...such amazing colour!

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

I don't know if the berries or "grapes" as one reader suggested are edible...

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

I mix up my jewelry...I wear my diamond studs and wedding set every day.
Some days I wear a watch, other days I put on the bangles and when I get dressed up to go out I add a strand or two of pearls or another necklace.
I like to use accessories to change up my minimal wardrobe.

:-))
I know what you mean...PLay Doh is not meant to be eaten! It was a "pretend" lunch.

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

It is true...so much beauty. There are some rather "ugly" things too, but I have not taken the time to photograph those scenes...I might explore that idea though. As always it is a joy to read your comments Janet!

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

Oh that's too bad...perhaps you can return it to the Chanel counter and explain your dissatisfaction...maybe they will refund your money? It is a rather pricy lipstick...I have never tried the Boots brand.

hostess of the humble bungalow said...

I often make my own greeting cards from photos that I have taken so I might have that mage printed and use it. Thank you for the idea!

I absolutely love your scarf! Was it a recent purchase?
