It's all about Bunting -Trend for this summer.

I just love this picture Chelsea Pensioners Garden

Bunting just creates a great atmosphere and is a visual delight
The orgin of the word is uncertain.
Bunting was originally a lightweight Worsted wool (yarn) fabric used for making flags of the Royal Navy.

Nowadays bunting is a term for any festive decoration and can be made of fabric,paper,plastic and even cardboard..
So from a celebration to a BBQ or just to lift a room it's great fun and it's even easy to make.

HOPE YOU ENJOY THESE PICTURES

Makes any garden look fun.

Love this idea of vintage french postcards made in to bunting/garland
