What is it about the Union Jack that inspires designers?I love it, myself, and have been experiencing shivers of delight with these creative designs. Above is Becky Oldfield of Lost and Found stitching together a gorgeous flag collage. I *love* the various faded blues and valiant reds that keep holding on to their color.
Below is a set of charming deck chairs from Lost and Found. I don’t know if I could sit in these, so content would I be to gaze upon them . . .
And Pattie Boyd showed up in the pages of T Magazine this weekend. Is that a flag-bearing Beatle on her nose?
Postscript: has anyone read Sarah Lyall’s The Anglo Files? In yet another convergence of design and desire, Mr. C. pointed out this book to me on the weekend.
Well, then: I’d better call it a night—before anyone’s attention starts to flag . . .

Why does post just want to make me hum "I'm a Union Jack and I'm OK" to to tune of Monty Python's "I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK"?
Waving the banner for UJ lovers everywhere: I love the flag, but I appreciate it from afar. I don't have the guts to wear it.
I have read "The Anglo Files" and it was delightful. She's a crisp writer and very observant. I was struck by the overlap in culture between haute New England WASP and English county women. It made me wonder whether there's a class like that in every country. Enjoy.
Also, a great cover.
Thank you, Ivy! It will be my Christmas break reading pleasure . . .
