British Bunting

Classy Stockbridge deli Thyme & Tides used Zigzag's Union Jack bunting to great effect this weekend, adding style to their British Tasting event.

Stockbridge in Hampshire won Britain's Foodie Town of the Year recently, replete as it is with excellent butcher, coffee shops, deli and restaurants. The perfect place for a summer day trip, and this weekend you can sample lots of British fare at Thyme & Tides.

Sea Bunting

We sent some bunting out to the Florida Keys this month, for a romantic wedding at sea. The Bride and Groom were very pleased with the effect of our Wedding Bells bunting, which does indeed look lovely:

Liberty's of London

The lovely folk at Liberty have just sent over some pictures of their Royal Wedding window display, featuring lots of our double-sided Union Jack Bunting. We are so chuffed to be part of their fun and very British display.

Royal Wedding

What a pleasure to see so much bunting festooning homes and businesses today for the Royal Wedding!

We made up and dispatched lots and lots of Union Jack buntings, both natural and with a vintage-effect dye, to Canada, Tokyo, Paris, USA and France, to businesses in London (including Shoon, Liberty's, Linley's and Agent Provocateur) and to some closer to home including Stockbridge's classy new bistro, Stokes, where we enjoyed a delicious Wedding Breakfast this morning.

A gorgeous wedding and a great excuse to celebrate. Very best wishes to the Bride and Groom from all of us here at Zigzag xx

Wedding Flowers

Our beautiful Duck Egg Blue bunting is featured by Wedding & Wedding Flowers this month, and has brought lots of interest in our pretty floral buntings.

When flowers cost so much, brides are seeing the benefits of charming swags of bunting, which not only add colour but provide a lasting memento of their big day which will add a festive touch to Christenings, Parties and Celebrations down the years. Truly Made to Treasure!

Harrods Love Zigzag Bunting

If you are visiting London's most famous store, Harrods in Knightsbridge, during March and April, do pop into their British-themed gift department on the ground floor where you will see an excellent display featuring our lovely double-sided Union Jack bunting:

They were keen to use British Bunting made in England, and were kind enough to tell us:

"It is perfect, exactly what we wanted! Thank you so much, the quality is amazing and these are definitely going to add something special to the room"

We had made them some large-sized Red, White and Blue bunting to match

and were delighted to hear that they have used our bunting and the other London decorations to produce new oilcloth fabric for bags and accessories. Howzat!

More Zigzag Bunting on Display at the NEC

We took a day out last week to visit the Stitches Trade Show at Birmingham's NEC to source some new fabrics and see what else is going on in the craft world.

I managed to find some beautiful new fabrics for Zigzag, and chanced upon a stand decorated with some familiar bunting:

The Historical Sampler Company had requested some bunting that would match their delightful samplers in their soft wood frames, and ended up with some of our pretty 'Sweet Dots' bunting, together with lengths of fabric which they used as a backdrop to the pictures. Doesn't it look good?

It was a serendipitous meeting as neither the owners nor I knew the other would be there, and I must say they clearly had the most attractive stand. Do take a peek at their website to see their traditional sampler designs if you fancy a timeless embroidery project.
