Faffing in The Humble Bungalow...

 

Foraged Teasel in a vintage vase...

set atop a distressed shabby chic farmhouse cabinet.

The sepia tones have inspired the redecoration of the room.

The mirror was a freebie on the boulevard several years ago.

I love finding useful things for free :-))

~ Sea Glass Collection ~

Collected over the years...stored in Vintage Sealer Jars.

Simple lines and soft neutral shades of paint...

the oak card table is destined to be a "tea station."

I am on the hunt for an interesting tea tray...

maybe antique mahogany with inlay

or 

a marquetry wood tray.

I've even seen toile painted metal trays that look like they would be suitable.

I think I might need a pretty glass jar for some cookies...

why not?

A cozy chair and a soft cuddly blanket.

The table has a few books and a lamp for reading.

Still enjoy re-reading The Simple Abundance Books by Sarah Ban Breathnach.

They continue to inspire after all these years...

I may bring my journal down here and sit with a cuppa and write at this table.

I've purchased a new~ to ~ me mug and a plate for my tea time.

The mug is white with a shiny gold handle.

 the plate is shiny gold with white accents.

The cat litter is to the right of this cabinet...

(Needs Must)

The main reason that I am "faffing" as this will be "my space" for a few weeks.

I plan to recuperate after my hip surgery downstairs 

(to avoid stairs)

plus there is a comfy bed and a walk in shower.

I just finished reading this great mystery book by Jess Kidd.

She's working on the follow up book and it will be available in February.

Cyclamens to perk up the front porch...

Can you see my black backpack and bag of groceries on the front mat by the door?

Priorities...plant the flowers first!!!

Can you see the reflection of the candles in the photo?

I like to light candles in the Fall and Winter...they add coziness.

Beeswax are my go to for tapers...

I like the Sand and Fog scented candles that I find at Marshalls.

Recently found a Vanilla Sandalwood candle that is lovely!

Bought 3 of their scented candles as the selection is huge right now...

they have all their Christmas stuff for sale.

Was a bit surprised to see it all so soon after Halloween 

but I know people like to shop early.

(Myself included)

I hadn't intended to write a post tonight.

It is a short one ~ hope you'll enjoy reading it.

I feel like I want to stay in touch...

Hope all is well with you...

are you enjoying the Autumn Colours?

Or perhaps it is Spring in your area?

Wherever you live I hope that you are savouring the Small Joys everyday.

 I must close for now as I have a few things to do before we sit down and watch The Bay on Britbox.

Thank you for stopping by The Humble Bungalow Blog.
