Backyard Bunting!

 
good morning!
 
it's quiet here...
well, humanly quiet.
i can hear cicadas
&
three different birdsongs...
the gentle swoosh of traffic
hurrying away...
some sounds of sleepy snoring,
this pleasant sunny saturday morning.
 
i made this bunting last year
&
yesterday got 'round to taking some photos
of my friend's verandah...
'out the back'.
 
it's faded now
into true shabby chic-ness...
 
 
do you remember the bunting swap we did
with rachael @ squiggly rainbow?
that's one from her in the middle there.
all i did was make some extra ones
to go with her beauties.
 
 
 
knots are tied in the rope between the flags
so they don't bunch up.

 

 
a gentle flutter in the breeze.
 
 
 
 
 
the outside dunny...
 
 
every house used to have one...
outside!
 
enjoy your weekend...

  2. beautiful buntings, we had an out house at our house on the lake, a bunting might have spruced it up a bit!

  3. It adds a bit of cheerfulness! I recently bought a bunting panel (in red and white) from Spotlight, to make for christmas. I'll have to put my skates on to have it done for this year! :)

  14. Hello lovely Carol. Your bunting is gorgeous. Bunting outside is perfect for Christmas or anytime, don't you think? x

  15. You know Carol, we've just had our old outhouse ripped down. It didn't have a toilet in it anymore anyway, so was just the shell, with lots of junk in it. A home for lots of nasty creepy crawlies, so we're VERY happy it's gone. The bunting looks lovely, so nice to be able to display all that handmade goodness xo
