What's in a name.....?

Deciding on a name for my new endeavour has proved more difficult that I thought.

I spent some time with a notebook and pen (and a glass of inspirational wine!) coming up with no end of alliterative possibles...

•                    Bygone Bunting
•                    Botanical Bunting      
•                    Bountiful Bunting
•                    Bounteous Bunting
•                    Blooms & Bunting
•                    Bespoke Bunting
•                    Bejewelled Bunting

.... but none hit quite the right spot.  

Or they were already taken.

But all the time I was pondering, there was a catchy little ditty running on a loop in my head....

".... East is east, and west is west,

La la dum dum, tra la lee.....

It was from a film, I was sure of that.  and there was stuff about frills and flowers, and rings and things, and..... buttons and bows.

After a modicum of Googling, I finally found it....  For some reason Blogger has taken against the embedded code, but if you click on the 'Watch this video on YouTube' link, it should work.

So here's my amended version of the song,  with apologies to the original composer, Jay Livingston.

Silk is soft and lawn is fine
And the right course I have chose
Let's go where I keep on makin’
Those frills and flowers and bunting and bows
Rings and things and Bunting and Bows.

I love to make, I love to craft
Most of all I love to sew
All day long I’ll be designing with
Quirky fabrics, strange designs
Making lots of Bunting and Bows.

I make them in cotton,
And silks from long ago
I’ll add all kinds of pretty things
As I watch them grow and grow
Oh my heart sings, at simple things
And I love to sit and sew
Here I’ll be, with gorgeous fabrics
And rings and things and Bunting and Bows…. 😉
