Great post - and I just LOVE that Tea Cosy! Wish I could knit :-) Happy Queens Birthday to you x
Some great links there thanks for sharing xx (How cute is that tea cosy??)
Love your round-up Megan!! I just treated myself to Jamie's Great Britain - will have to make something appropriate for the weekend!! H xo
OH how lovely. Might just have to give something a go this weekend.
Hi Megan - I could have sworn I commented on this post yesterday but blogger must have eaten the comment :-)
Love your round-up of all things British - especially the London colouring book and mini Muji wooden set.
My mum has sent me some Union Jack bunting and I have some Cath Kidston paperchains so will be decorating the house today ready for the jubilee :-)
Hope you have a lovely long weekend!
Great round up! Thank you! I was thinking I should really 'do' something (especially as hubbie and I are British!). You've inspired me to put a little thought into a little action...!
OMG fabulous post hon! You have given me some great inspiration and ideas for what to do this weekend. My family are looking forward to celebrating...so I am off to dust off my tea seat, he he! Have a great weekend. Becks x
I miss muji too! red, white and blue are my fave colour combo so were a bit jubilee all year round here, but my fave is my emma bridgewater bunting mug x
Hi Megan, Just found your delightful blog via Hana's 'A Happy Adventure' blog. I love your site and I especially love all of these fab London finds! Although I'm American (I live in Virginia) I'm truly a Brit at heart as can be attested by my recent Union Jack at Home decor post on my blog :-) I just ordered the London Embroidery Pattern on etsy - don't know when I'll have time to start on it but I want it in my stash when the stitching muse strikes! Thanks for the inspiration!!
