“The Union Jack flag is the official flag of the United Kingdom, and it's also an officially hot decorating must have. Here's a little history, since most of us don't know the background on the flag.

When Northern Ireland became part of the United Kingdom in 1801, the St. Patrick's flag, a red diagonal cross on a white background, was added to the Union Jack, giving us the flag we have today. Check out some stylish uses of this fab flag...”

No Flag Day post would be complete without a tribute to OLD GLORY. Add a little pop of Americana for the summer!
