Rule Britannia....It's Party Time!

2012 is a huge year for all things "British" so to speak. Not only are we the host nation for this year's olympics but we are also celebrating the Diamond Jubilee marking 60 years of our Queen's reign.

I love that the creative community have taken the whole jubilee theme and gone completely handmade crazy. There is absolutely something for everybody! And if you are one for shopping online as a fan of handmade I would maybe advise that you read no further.....! Okay, so don't say I didn't warn you....

Firstly, for any June brides who maybe having a bit of a 'Royal' theme then why not head over to Truly I Do on Facebook, this gorgeous page offers a beautiful range of bridal accessories including tiaras, hair combs, shoe clips and garters. How perfect would this Jubilee inspired garter be... 


If your the kind of person who loves little keepsakes then I highly recommend that you visit Kittyeden's website or Facebook page and see a selection of handmade limited edition hanging decorations which are perfect to mark the occasion. 


I could share amazing finds with you forever as there seems to be such a perfect selection of items out there for the Jubilee. As a mum, I would love a little something for my little one to keep as a momento and so was very happy to receive this photo from A loving touch, the jubilee bear is gorgeous.


With an extra day-off thrown in as part of the celebration's I am certain that over the bank holiday weekend we will all be attending some form of Jubilee party. I know for sure that we have already received a couple of invites and so I visited the Jubilee Crafts 2012 community on Facebook looking to find some accessories for my outfit. So far I have a gorgeous brooch and I'm still working my way through a little shopping list (but shhhh!).

But if your looking for accessories either for yourself, your little ones or a gift then check out these, I especially like the button earrings.


These gorgeous hairclips can be found by visiting Lazy Zebra







And finally one last gorgeous find.....this cute little jubilee ring...which can be found over at Crafty Chics.



All that really remains is for me to wish you all the best for whatever you do to celebrate the 
Diamond Jubilee!
