[ a tad british ]

WITH ALL THE reports of cancelled flights in London over the past few days, Britain is definitely in the news. I'm grateful that my guy avoided it by a day and made it here for the holidays!

The Union Jack has been popping up everywhere and if you love those British touches in decor as much as I do, here's some eye candy for you - I particularly like the various subtle ones.

    We've been trying to come up with what kind of image we want over our bed - needs to be something we can do ourselves - and I've been considering a Union Jack and after looking at these great images, I'm sold. Loved these!

    I love a good union jack and I think it looks fabulous in all the incarnations shown here.

    I've been noticing that, too. I particulary like it on the dining room chairs.

    So glad your hubby made it home with all the crazy weather going on right now.

    I love the quilted pillow in the soft colors...subtle but very eye catching!

    Happy Tuesday!

    LOVE this, Lisa!
    Must be my British
    roots....but I surely
    do love the Union Jack.
    A UJ pillow is on my
    list, either to make
    or to find. I really
    liked the silver UJ over
    the fireplace. Big
    commitment if you don't
    live in England, but if
    you did....wow!
    Merry Tuesday, sweet friend!

    The floral calico ones are a sweet twist.

    Thanks so much for stopping by La Lamp Shade!

    What is it about that Union Jack that makes it so chic and fresh? Love it...and most of these I have never seen before, which is really saying something!:)

    I do love a Union Jack in the decor somewhere. I bought a lovley UJ pillow from an Etsy seller. It is one of the few flags you can decorate with I think.
