We are such anglophiles around here..here are some images that show traditional sort of British colonial-like style, more modern Brit vibe and of course good ol Shabby chic. I love this first image via Urban Grace.

I cant wait to decorate Drew’s room like this when he is about 12 (of course he will probably be appalled.)
here. 
anddddd, have you heard?? Target is getting some things designed by the great Brit girl, Orla Kiely… i have been in love with this bag of hers forever..it would even make a great diaper bag.. so far i have only seen organizational bins and kitchen items but i am hoping they will get bags too! In the meantime, you can find some of her things
and of course, something from the shabby-est Brit of all;;

..i love the union jack wallhanging..in her store (which I hear one is opening in Houston this year unless the enconomy has changed plans..right now they have one in Austin!) she has a huge Union Jack pillow like this and it has wonderful vintage brooches and pins…very cute for a little girl;;

I’m another total anglophile. I love, love, LOVE the Shabby Chic Union Jack wall hanging! After taking a closer look at it, I am thinking it would only take about an hour to whip one of those up. Great blog…I love your style & I also have a little Drew of my own – he’s 3.

I hope your 12 year old recognizes how cool his Mom is… probably won’t until he’s older but ya never know. I need to visit a Shabby Chic store… I have never been in one!

Holly! Just wanted to say hi!! The website looks great. Really cool stuff. I’ll have to show you the bedding we got for Evie’s nursery! It’s got lots of red in it.
Oh, and did you hear my MIL opened her shop? She’s only going to be open on the second weekend of the month, but I started her a blog:
