Why I love bunting

For as long as I can remember I have loved bunting. When I think about the street parties as a child to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee, straight away I see the yards and yards and cheery triangles of fabric, blowing in the breeze and I am taken back to a carefree time.
Three years ago I moved into a 1930's bungalow and started the task of adding my own style to it. The mood board for my kitchen was totally designed around some red spotty teapot fabric.

And yes you have guessed it, the first thing I made was bunting. The bunting then dictated my colour theme, style and I even ended up printing my own roman blinds, with spotty teapots( after watching Kirsty Allsop on TV).

It wasn't long before the bunting spread to my conservatory, I even made special Christmas bunting for it, and it's still up now!

I could go on making bunting for every room, but I would like to try and make a range of bunting themed home items. Cushions, cards the choice is endless. What do you think? do you love bunting as much as me?

Hopefully my blog will allow me to document my successes and the things I learn along the way.
