SNEAK PEAK!
Beautiful Sophie and Dara. A little peak at this beautiful wedding. Having Indian and Iranian heritage, this couple wanted to bring COLOUR to their day. Sophie said that she had been following us on Instagram for ages and wanted us to create her flower dreams before she'd even met her husband! Now that's pressure and also high praise. She's a wonderful woman with a heart of pure gold, and I can't wait to see the pro pics!
Enjoy your honeymoon you two ###π§‘ππ§‘
So, last night, Rosie and I did a little cleaning and spruce up. After vacuuming away all the dust and cobwebs (Rosie), I said, ooh, we need a little mat or rug under the table so that we can make it more than just somewhere we shove boxes. B&M she said, so Β£12 later (and lots of cobweb removal) the table is transformed!
In doing this, we discovered lots of goodies that I'd forgotten about! Including a lovely British made beginners Soy Candle making kit! The box was a bit shabby, so we will repackage and reduce the price to Β£20. Yay! The scent is Frankincense and Myrrh.
We are open tomorrow from 9 until 1
It's also BAILDON CARNIVAL! Pop in and have a browse or just say 'hello'

SLIGHT CHANGE OF PLAN
TUESDAY WE WILL BE OPEN FROM 2PM-5PM
Weekly round-up- It's all about communication...
Here's a small selection of what went on in the shop last week. Everything we do is made just for you. We are fortunate in that we have very long standing relationships with most of our customers, and so know what works for them, whatever the occasion. For new customers, we get to know to know them and offer them something that fits what they want. They put their trust in us, and from there, we build a relationship.
Flowers and plants bring so much love and joy into our lives. They communicate our emotions - love, care, sorrow, joy, apologies, understanding, and grief. We don't often buy flowers for ourselves, so to give and receive them is special. β€οΈ
Here is our beautiful customer Nadiene - she doesn't realise how lovely she is. Also, anniversary flowers to celebrate a wedding on the amalfi coast, birthday flowers, dried flower salon creations for π and a get well soon giant jar of joy.
We are open tomorrow from 9.30ish
Let us know I you'd like anything!
We still have some SALE PAMPAS if you'd like any saving. A real bargain!
Love, Emma and Co.

Just look at these dahlias! Heehee. They actually cost a great deal. So much that we couldn't in all consciousness pass on the true cost and make a profit.
Now, our beautiful flowers have had a good or awful time of it what with all the rain and sporadic heat. They don't know whether they are coming or going. This is playing havoc with availability and prices. Remember, they are part of nature, grown with love by our fellow human. They are not manufactured purely to fulfil our whims of style or want. As a professional florist and purveyor of nature's finest offerings, we are always striving to balance out hugely increasing costs with creating bouquets that give value for money.
We can not and will never be able to complete with supermarkets who barter with growers to achieve an unrealistic low price per bloom. But what we can and do offer is a personal service with years of experience and knowledge. Create something just for you and not from a catalogue and take into account the environment that the flowers will live in, the character, and likes of the person they are for, and offer you something to fit your budget,. Every order and every customer is equally important to us.
I have been doing this for around 20 years, and I still love what I do. And I'm honoured to have been in the same families (customers) flowery lives for all of that time.
In the very near future, I'm going to share with you my experience in all things floral via regular video tutorials so that you can get the best from your blooms (home grown or bought!)
We are open this week
Wednesday 9-1
Thursday 9- 5
Friday 9-5.30 (or later if necessary)

Lovely Jo.
Jo and Jonny have been customers (friends!) since I opened in 2007. Their son was then a little boy, and now he's almost a fully fledged pilot! Jo asked for 'pastel meadows' to give to her friend. And it matches her outfit!
Jo and Jonny, we love you π©·π ###

Thinking about old friends, family, the passing of time. It goes so quickly, but how lucky are we to actually get the time we're given. Not everyone we love gets that chance. This is my first modelling job in 1992 for with my friend as the photographer. Taken at Cartwright Hall, where coincidentally 2 of my grandads worked in the gallery back in the 70s and early 80s.
Time is precious. Use it wisely goes the old adage. How true. πππ
Who else has a 'human' dog? Hehee. Flora, we love you.
We are open today until 1pm. It's raining, it's dark, you need some colour! π§‘ππ

Selina and Roger. I first met Selina back in 2017, when, for a brief time, I had a shop in Rawdon. Selina had a tea room in Rawdon at the time, and we bonded like two creative spirits via our mutual like-minded customers. When her and Roger got engaged, she messaged me about wedding flowers. Being both of a similar mind and brain, almost no words were needed, and what she wanted just evolved very naturally, right up to a week or so before the wedding!
Selina had chosen an absolutely beautiful dress embellished with sequinned flowers that just seemed to dance with happiness. At first, she wasn't sure whether to have a bouquet as she didn't want to overcrowd the dress. When I saw the dress, I knew that I could create something that would just continue the flowers from her bodice down the skirt. She trusted me, and that's the biggest gift you can receive.
Here she is with Roger at Lost and Found at their wedding reception, and also with her lovely daughter Amelia.
Weddings to me are all about the stories, the relationships, the personal details. And definitely not about re-creating something you might have seen on Instagram. It's all about the two of you and your loved ones.
Photographer details to follow!

On days like this, there is no better place to live. Home πΏπ©·πΏ
We've always loved having plants at home and enjoyed the therapeutic effect of caring for them,watching them grow, change, and flower.
But can houseplants really improve our physical and mental health? According to the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), the answer is a resounding yes.
We all know how good it feels to get out in nature, especially when our physical or mental health needs a boost. It is becoming more acknowledged by health professionals that nature as part of mindfulness helps us in many ways, including psychologically and physically. Houseplants are a great way to bring the healing power of the outdoors inside.
What are the benefits?
Experts at the RHS have found that houseplants can make us healthier and happier. They can:
β’ improve mood and lower stress levels
β’ reduce blood pressure, fatigue, and headaches
β’ boost productivity, especially in office environments
β’ increase pain tolerance when placed in hospital settings.
Caring for houseplants can form part of our daily and weekly routine to help calm our mind and stay mentally and physically well, so why not get some in your life!
Why not start with something that is easy to look after, such as a succulent or a spider plant.
Food for thought...
Have a lovely week π πͺ΄ π± πΏ ###x

Our Rosie, modelling our roses! Hehee! Look at these beauties - from pale dusky pink through to tangerine with a little sprinkle of palma violet. YUM!
Work perks! Somehow, the leftovers always work well, back home on my sideboard, in front of @saltsmillofficial @davidhockneyofficial prints... Synchronicity at its best. These leftovers are gorgeously fragrant 'Miss piggy' roses, gardenia peonies, sweetly fragrant Dr Alexanda Fleming peonies with greenbelle and flowering cobweb asparagus foliage. A whole week or more of gorgeousness left to come. We have both been under the weather for a few days but appreciate the sun's appearance this afternoon. ππΌπ Have a great bank holiday!

Colour, colour, how you make us feel alive and connected.

We have small forsythia branch tips waiting to flower, we have MIMOSA!, we have gorgeous spray roses looking like sweeties, we have double tulips about to burst into bloom, we have violet and mauve lisianthus, all blowsy and frilly in their light as a feather beauty, and we have butterly ranunculus, wild and flowing, and lemony scented waxflower, limonium and eucalyptus. It's a sensory overload (in a good way). We will be making pick and go little pre-spring posies and jars as well as bigger bouquets. Jars and posies from Β£18, larger bouquets from Β£30.
