Happy Mother's Day!
Hope that you are having a good one...
Whether you are celebrating with your family
perhaps remembering and honouring your precious memories of your Mom
or sharing this special day with other women...
Cheers to all of the great women in our lives who helped us.
Who mentored us in our careers...
inspired and cheered us on
and
continue to be beacons of light.
We were at the cottage last week...
the weather was great!
It was a mixed bag of activities and meals were quite simple.
Knitting, reading, beach combing, thrifting, visiting with friends.
I am surprised that we didn't even get in one game of crib!!
Found more sea glass and a vintage boat "block" at the thrift shop.
I like the distressed look of the block with its peeling paint...and a wee bit of rust.
Summer feels like it is on the way.
My trusty vintage Eddie Bauer sunhat...going into its 3rd decade
(Thank you Patricia !)
Found feathers add to the age and charm...
Hosted a Happy Hour on the Deck...
We sat outside until the winds picked up and practically blew us indoors!!
I bought a new sweater by the French Company Saint James...
it was on sale locally at W&J Wilson's.
I have a Breton striped top and a Black sweater by the same company.
The quality of their clothing is absolutely top notch.
Periwinkle Blue Cashmere Cardigan...
reminds me of the shutters in Provence.
Will be a workhorse in my wardrobe....
Paired well with my Akoya Pearls and a simple white Tee.
Wore it with my wide legged black rayon pants.
Black Vessi slip on shoes.

Won the Mother's Day draw at a la mode Consignment in Oak Bay!!!
Will be picking up my gift when they open on Tuesday.

If you live in Victoria and shop in Oak Bay don't miss this gem of a shop...
We are so fortunate here in Victoria to have a variety of great second hand and consignment shops...so many great ones. I LOVE shopping in this shop!
My other faves are :

House of Savoy
Well I have my first cold since Covid hit the planet...
So I am feeling a wee bit foggy in the brain.
Will close for now as
I need to pop the kettle on and make some honey and lemon.
Hope that you are feeling good and keeping your spirits up.
Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.

Hello Leslie, I hope you get over your cold soon - I just spent over a week battling one!
I have several Saint James sweaters and they are indeed lovely and of excellent quality. I've bought all of mine on sale from Boutique Jourdain in Quebec City. (Shipping in Canada is included in the price.)
By the way, I'm sure your sun hat is only 3 decades old! ;0)
Gorgeous sweater - love the color! How nice to win such a great prize - enjoy!
Feel better soon so you can get out and about in that scrumptious blue sweater!

What a lovely blue sweater!!! And your vignette of the sea glass and wooden boat block is wonderful.
How amazing that the boutique in Quebec includes the shipping!!! That's a great cost saving...I am feeling a lot better after 2 days of cocooning and drinking copious amounts of tea and natural honey! Did I make a mistake about the hat??
I must check...thank you...
I will post my gift basket on my Instagram page...do you follow me on that site? Let me know as I need to approve all followers what with being private after the surge of doctors and bots started things getting crazy :-))
I am going to wear it tomorrow as I venture out from my hibernation...thank goodness I am feeling like my "old self" after 2 days of isolation, fluids and rest.
I think that block is one of my most unusual finds...it was $1.00 and I had no clue what it was but thought it had a nautical vibe !!
I'm so behind in reading your blog! Catching up now. Love that blue sweater - what a lovely shade of my very favorite color. Always enjoy the variety in your posts.
Oh I'm glad to read in the comments you're feeling better. Good. Looking forward to seeing the breakdown of your win!
Hi Jeannine,
It is a lovely shade of blue...hope you enjoy catching up on the posts. I am not posting as often so you probably can catch up pretty fast!!
Kelly,
I was out and about today...coffee with a friend, lunch with hubby and an annual appointment with my eye doctor. All good things...have some fun shopping to do this weekend...buying birthday gifts for friends and family!!
Feel better soon, Leslie! I love A La Mode - I just bought a bunch of little socks there! Congrats on winning that prize! We are certainly spoiled for selection here in consignment and thrift shops, right?
Love seeing your views from the cottage, and now I'm craving deviled eggs!
