Shoegazer finds: Bunting!

I can’t wait ‘til Summer and my mind has turned to all things bunting related! I’m currently working on a canvas featuring some tiny strings of bunting and decided to take a look around the web to see how other people are employing the good old-fashion staple of the English Village Fete in their work.

Below: This amazing necklace is by Scout Holiday and features hand painted leather flags thread on a 21” chain. I love it so much!

Below: This little reminder of your favourite date comes from aewilder and is a snitch at just $8!

Below: This 2ft string of mini bunting flags is so cute. I really like the way it is displayed on the beautiful old desk. From Wunderlust on Etsy. The mix of old papers/fabrics works perfectly I think. 

Below: Mini embroidered bunting for your home? Yes please! This is from astulabee

Below: Declare your love this Valentines with a bunting-based card from Rosy Design Online

Below: I love this little fox running away with the bunting. From foxparade on Etsy.

If you come across any bunting-related goodness please feel free to post links in the comments!

Happy 2010

Happy New Year everyone! I'm sorry for the lack of blog posts for the past month or so. I was so busy in the run up to Christmas and then rarely in one place long enough to even think about blogging! Anyway, now I'm back at work so it will be easier for things to get back on track here.

See you very soon with some exciting blog posts!
