Hi everyone and welcome to the party....today in the UK most of us are having an extra bank holiday to celebrate the Queen's Diamond jubilee. Now I was going to post something I had made, but when I realised the date I had to change my plans and share some inspiration from Pinterest in honour of this special occasion.
As I am based in the North of Scotland the only flag you usually see is the Scottish Saltire but this jubilee everyone seems to have gone crazy for a bit of red, white and blue.
Whilst at the trade show back in February I had a guess that everything Union Jack, Brittish or London based would be big this coming year as it was EVERYWHERE...so here are a couple of my favourites from Pinterest.
First it wouldn't be a celebration without a reminder to stay calm and enjoy yourself!
This great poster is from here.
There seems to be some of this everywhere just now....
Got to love a bit of bunting, this is actually made in Australia, here. I love it and only wish I could have had more time to make some.
Finally it wouldn't be a Jubilee occasion in the UK without a fine cup of afternoon tea and CAKE!
These fine cakes can be found be found here. Aren't they fab? Love the Union Jack ones.
Don't forget the table decor too.....
Enough red, white and blue for you?! LOL. It only remains for me to say have a great
"Diamond Jubilee day"
Whether you are participating in a picnic, watching the Queen or just chilling doing your own thing, have a super day. Bring on the tea and cakes!
Hugs Erika.
I enjoyed reading your post and the cakes look yum!
