As you know, I like bunting. I don't know why. I don't have childhood memories of village fetes adorned with bunting to reminisce about but for some reason I can't get enough of it!
Last autumn I collected fallen leaves, pegged them to a length of string and hey presto, leaf bunting! This was part of an article for Daisy Green Magazine on bringing autumn inside.
For Hallowe'en I made this little length of felt bunting for the The Copy and Paste Project's Trick or Treat blog party.
At Christmas, I made this paper bunting inspired by Kirsty's fabulous tutorial as part of her and Julie's 12 Days of Christmas workshop.
And today I have made more! Yesterday I found swatch books in the remnant pile at my local fabric shop and snapped them up, each swatch is big enough to make one 'bunt'. (I do believe in a previous blog conversation it was decided 'bunt' is the singular for one flag of bunting. I refuse to use the word flag or pennant, they don't do justice to the loveliness of bunting.)
Excuse the ropey photos, it has rained heavily all day so I couldn't shoot them outside.
Do you like my attempt at arty photography? Also known as shooting at an angle to try to do justice to the bunting.
And just to finish off my bunting bonanza, here is a mosaic devoted to the lovely stuff.
There will be more to come, watch this space!
Your bunting bonanza is beautiful! A bunting for every season!

Wow, you do seem to have something of a bunting fetish going on.. which can only be a good thing when they are all so lovely!
That fabric swatch book was a brilliant find! And fab photos too, love the arty angle :)

Oh! I have swatch-book envy. Such a good find, and so beautifully put to work. :)
I love the idea of changing your bunting with the seasons, and your photos look especially marvellous (i.e. bigger!) in my feed-reader.
