Best of British week: Karen Hilton cushions

Big kisses to the lovely Pip at Meet me at Mikes for inviting me to join in on "Best of British" week. I'm off to a bit of a late start because I'm in the middle of moving house (goodbye East London, hello South-East London) but I'll get the ball rolling with one of my favourite Etsy sellers, Karen Hilton.

Flag cushions, US$60, from Karen Hilton’s Etsy shop.

Karen's vibrant Brit-themed cushions are an Anglophile's dream, and they've been getting a whole lot of attention on Etsy. The cushions are individually handmade, using thick natural cotton drill fabric and high-quality felted wool.

I especially love her Queen Elizabeth postage stamp range, which create quite the riotous Britpop display with a bunch of Union Jack cushions thrown in.

Later this week ... crumpets, cream tea and Cowshed.
