November





The month when Autumn brings all her glorious colours to the table, the last hurrah before we slumber through the Winter that is yet to be.  The bright and vibrant reds and yellows and oranges we see across the forests in the trees are echoed in the colours of birth month flowers of chrysanthemums, the rich yellow birthstone topaz, the burning embers of the fires we light to keep us warm . . . everything is painted in warm colours, as if we need reminding of the cold blue that will soon be upon us.






Until next time
Stay safe, stay well, stay warm

  1. This post sent me looking to find out what Victoria magazine is, then down a rabbit hole of odd and unknown magazines - and all before breakfast!
    Happy November!

    1. Happy November Sue! I used to subscribe to Victoria when I lived abroad and could afford it. The "old" ones pre the "new" era are the best. I haven't looked online for ages now but it is a right rabbit hole of titles. Good luck. Victoria is how I found such icons as Tasha Tudor.

  2. I too went in search of the magazine - only available from USA and postage as much as the cost of the magazine! They look lovely though. Super photos - very autumnal.

    I am still channelling yesterday's Christmas vibe from the Garden Centre :)

    1. International postage rates is why I stopped buying it. I have kept many old copies so feel inclined to do a short blog on the magazine in the near future.

      *Note: at some point I will be passing my saved copies on and looking for a good home for them.

  8. Lovely photos. I miss the "old" Victoria Magazine. This time of the year is beautiful, for sure, but I have a hard time with it because of the early darkness. Maybe I need to light more candles and enjoy it the best I can...certainly can't change it. lol
