I ♥ bunting



I  ♥  bunting, I can't help it, it must be my British blood.  Give me a green lawn, a village fĂȘte, a summer party any day, but preferably give them to me dressed with bunting.

I love patriotic bunting, flowery bunting, stripes and checks.  I prefer cotton, but like paper too.





Imagine how pleased I was this week, when I stopped by at Bords de Scene, and found that Christelle had changed her shop decor ( again!) and invented a whole new approach to bunting - black and white!  Her flags are cut from old sewing patterns -  I am lucky to know creative girls like her!











so where does your preference lie?  
summer colours against a blue sky, or chic french monochrome?!

  1. Against the black backdrop - the neutral bunting is striking - outdoors - give me color!

  3. I like coloured bunting for outdoors but was thinking of making some for indoors with some old sheet music I have stashed away. Now I've seen this I will get cracking!

  7. Hmm, I'm out of the loop! Bunting is new to me! I enjoyed your colorful pennants on the lawn! I don't understand the occasion, we don't go to that effort here in America. Looks adorable!

  8. Colourful under the sun, but black and white certainly looks very appealing. I'm wondering what I could cut up and use. Don't suppose my DH would mind if I cut up his newspaper.... before he read it?

  11. I just love bunting too. I like both styles and would use it depending on the style of function. I loved your story on the teenage parties. Im with you on your thinking and used to do the same myself.Fiona

  12. Definitely colour! A couple of friends of mine make bunting, one of them uses bright coloured fabric, the other uses vintage tea towels!
