I’m quite enamored (okay, obsessed) with all things British—hydrangeas, scones and Colin Firth included. In fact, our four-hour stop in London's Gatwick airport last month was nearly as exciting to me as the entire vacation in Italy.

But anyway, today I came across some adorable gift wrap patterns on the print & pattern blog.

I come to find out they are available at the British department store Marks & Spencer. Darn!  Wouldn’t this print make the cutest addition to girly-girl scrapbook pages or kid-friendly birthday cards?  Oh, well. I guess we do have some good stuff here in the U.S.

To start off the weekend right, I’ll leave you with some delicious British eye candy. Think about (and share!) what you could with these gorgeous prints.
