Men's Italian Shirt...Bellissimo

Daffodils are putting on a great showing here in The Humble Bungalow Garden.

We need the cheerful flowers as the skies are a gloomy grey and the weather is cold.

I've been feeling the chill and wearing layers on my walks.

It feels colder with the gusty winds...

I wore my wool hat and gloves then pulled up my hood on my fleece lined coat.

 Should have worn my "Michelin Man" puffer down coat.

Not many people were out and about so I had the beach almost to myself.

A few gulls and crows soaring overhead and were tossed about in the wind.

As soon as I finished my walk 

I got in the car and turned the seat heater and hot air on.

Zipped off home and put the kettle on for a hot cup of tea.

Gosh what would we do without a hot cuppa?

Good for so many things.

In other news I found an Italian mens shirt at the thrift shop.

The brand is Bugatchi with details that indicate quality...

Just look...

see what I mean?

I'll wear this at home with my black Yoga pants and perhaps out my white jeans.

The pearls kick it up a notch.

Mom would have approved :-))

Picked and Popped a wee posy...

Into this vintage elephant vase was a thrift shop find.

Did you know that elephants' trunks on should always be in the upward position 

or your good luck runs out?

I've heard this from several "collectors" who love elephants.

(Not unlike horse shoes that should be hung with the ends facing upward.)

Do you believe in luck?

Luck might help us when we are thrift shopping.

There are so many items that one needs to weed through...

you need to keep your eyes fully open.

Often there are surprises that you weren't even looking for...

they just pop up.

Like this Italian shirt for example...

I always take a peek in the menswear section 

especially in sweaters 

as cashmere is not just found in the women's section.

I once found an argyle pattern Burberry cashmere sweater that I gave to a friend.

Not sure if he still wears it 

(I have seen him wearing it at his shop.)

Do you peruse the charity and thrift shops?

What are your best finds?

We had a Good Friday dinner here with our son and the three lovely grands.

The menu:

Salmon

Pot Roast 

Wild Rice Broccoli casserole

Cauliflower au Gratin

Brussels Sprouts

Brownies and Strawberries

Easter Eggs for the kids...the adults munched a few too!

Hope you are enjoying a pleasant weekend.

Happy Easter Sunday!
