Colorful English Buntings - aka: Flag Pennants

Ready for some spring color? Besides planting our favorite annuals, you can also add some color with these English style buntings - or pennants as we Americans call them.

The above one is made out of remnants of vintage tablecloth fabric. Sweet cherries, raspberries, red roses, geraniums and fruits are just perfect for summer. The back is red and white polka dot fabric.


Lots of colorful vintage inspired and a Mary Engelbreit fabric on this one. On the back are yellow, blue, red and green polka dot fabrics...just flip it around for an all together different look.
Cheerful colors.
Now for the pink and shabby chic gals, here is a pink one with lots of scattered pink roses ~ very feminine. This one has sold, however I will be making more similar to it.
Not only are these great in a garden, at a tag sale, or for that special celebration, but you can display these inside over a mantel, on a wall or over a window. (note: just don't hang them over an infant or small child's bed or over an open flame.) Lots of fun and just cottage-E sweet!

For sale now in my ETSY shop.

Baked Up An Idea

This Py-O-My Cookie sheet is not only for baking up some tasty treats...
it also serves double duty as a magnetic display piece. There are two sweet cards on here from Lallee, another Scotty mother.
The sweet Scotty button is from my friend Amy (she sells the cutest covered buttons on eBay under her name Vintage*Home) and the tea card is from Miss Jean (but of course!)
I just hung it on the wall by using a plate holder. Simple simon, fun and quirky.

You can find these Py-O-My baking sheets on eBay, ETSY (one for sale here) or antique stores. They originally were sold for 49 cents with the purchase of a cake mix. I gave 4.00 for mine - still relatively inexpensive for a bit of the past.
