I have always loved the Union Jack and since it is Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee year this year, and London is hosting the Olympics, and more than 17 years ago, I managed to find myself a lovely British husband, I thought it opportune to do a post on decorating with this iconic flag.

ReplyDeleteI love it too, Sharon! I saw an IPhone case with the Union Jack that I'm going to get. And I'd love some pillows, too. So cool and graphic!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Loi
This is great….love the color combos! A lot like ours! Great pictures…thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from the colonies (Canada;) Part of me wishes that we still flew the Union Jack! Love the vibrancy of the flag and especially the creative ways the crazy Brits use it;)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous and I smiled when I read this post as I have just sold an antique French flag to a client who lives in America - she is planning on putting it on the wall.

Sharon,
ReplyDeleteI do love the UJ...I just bought a fun, inexpensive burlap pillow and I find myself smiling each time I see it! I'm a California girl with a crush on Jack!

I love seeing the pieces best on the floor and not because we left their Union many moons ago....lol. Such beautiful images and what a wonderful way to celebrate their Jubilee.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week Sharon!
