We have a winner!

Thank you for stopping by and reading The Humble Bungalow Blog...
the sun is shining on this sunny Sunday.

Happy Father's Day to my husband and son...
and Dad I am remembering you with love and affection today.
XO


The summer daisies are putting on quite the show in my neighbours' garden.
I like to admire them from afar as their scent is not to my liking but I love the simplicity of the flowers, they are just so pretty and cheerful!
I can visualize them in a Bon Maman jam jar 
atop a gingham checked table cloth.


Many of you left comments on the blog about "what makes you feel chic"
Leaving your name and a comment
meant that you could be entered to win the scarf.


I used a simple blue and white bowl...
wrote all the names on pieces of paper.


Chester thought he would "help" me.
The entires are underneath him so I waited until he woke up!

 Then I mixed up the entries and randomly picked a name.


Congratulations Honey Bee !
Please email me bungalowhostess@gmail.com
with your mailing address and I will pop the scarf in the post this week.

Thank you all for your comments on what makes you feel chic.

Thirty Chic Days by Fiona Ferris and a Hostess Giveaway...

Do you love to wear scarves?
I do...but I opt for lighter weight ones in silk or linen for summer.
They are perfect on a cloudy or rainy day when I step out of the house to run some errands or go for my walk. Scarves so effortlessly add a little splash of colour and dress up the casual outfits that I wear at home or about in our neighbourhood.


I recently picked up a pretty raw silk scarf imported from India at The Bungalow card and gift shop on Estevan Avenue in Oak Bay.




It is a versatile long lightweight raw silk scarf with a fringe at the ends.
Soothing Sea colours for summer
you could tie this around the brim of your sun hat 
or wrap it around your shoulders...
it looks great with denim too.


I finished reading blogger and author Fiona Ferris' new book 
Thirty Chic Days Practical Inspiration For a Beautiful Life.
It is a lovely book chock full of great ideas and simple ways to add luxury to your every day round.
She has written a great guide book for women of all ages...
I picked up a few new tips and you might too.
Thank you again Fiona for sending me your book!

To enter the giveaway please leave me a comment and tell me what makes you feel chic.

The giveaway will close on midnight PST Saturday June 18th.

I will announce the winner on Sunday June 19th.

~ Good Luck ~
Hope that you have a fabulous week.
