Food shopping, a new local business, books and a striped top that popped onto my radar!!!

 


Welcome to my Teeny Tiny Closet that I share with my Hubby!!

I definitely have a minimal wardrobe...
small closets make it necessary to be restrained.

The black, white, grey and denim basics are all getting lots of wear.
I've had fun finding more denim options...faded Mom Jeans from Mango.
A fleecy denim coloured shirt from Jane Delancey.

The dressy after 5 outfits are small but stored in the closet downstairs.
They co-mingle with the summer linens...
I peeked at the selection today and think I can cull a few more items.


New striped Breton style top...made in Portugal.
Company is Mus & Bombon from Barcelona.


LOVE the texture...


Love the texture YUP I said it again!!
 Very cozy.

Have been reading library books every afternoon with a cup of tea...
read the Nina Stibbe book in a couple of days..I liked her other books.
 I have started on The Queen of Dirt Island by Donal Ryan...
his books are new to me.

Have you read his books?


World news is TOO much right now...
Am taking a break from it and exploring (escaping) in the fun shops of our fair city!


Victoria Gourmet Food Market on Broughton is FABULOUS!!!
The owner is friendly and so knowledgeable...the food is above and beyond!!


All the charcuterie board basics are available and
with an extra punch of unique and exotic items to make it an incredibly special experience.





I like to think of this as "The Wall of Pasta!"

Please go in and introduce yourself to Cherilee and tell her I sent you!!
I am going to go back and get my charcuterie board and pasta favourites soon...

We are so fortunate to have so many energetic women entrepreneurs here in Victoria!
Wherever you live please support your local businesses.
Buy Local...chat with the owners
 like they do in France and become regular shoppers it is a wonderful experience...
knowing who sells you the goods that you use and need on a weekly basis.

It feels real and genuine to have a dialogue with the people who supply our foods.



We are planning some changes in The Humble Bungalow Garden...
busy getting ahead of the season with our wonderful local garden crew
from
Susanne Osmond Garden Design.
We are going to be on the Victoria Hospice Fundraising Teeny Tiny Garden Tour this June.

It is finally "pay back" for the care they gave Mom in her final days.
I hope to auction off a painting too for garden visitors...proceeds go to Hospice.

Well I haven't much more news to report...
BUT
perhaps I should mention that My Instagram is now Private.
I had a deluge of "MEN"...all claiming to be doctors 
who were wanting to follow me!
REALLY?
I think they were JUST BOTS...
so I am now hoping to stay under the radar...

Hope you are staying sane with all the crazy stuff going on in our world...

What are you doing these days?
Any exciting news to share...
