Monday is back!! And I still can't believe it's August and that there's only 5 months left of this year!!

This vase arrangement and colour palette has been very popular, and there's still orders coming in. I created a beautiful bouquet in these tones a couple of weeks ago, but I forgot to take a photo!! Sometimes I'm far too busy and just generally forgetful to remember to take photographs!! Are you the same?? 🤍

Hope you all have a fantastic week. I'm off work today and I'll be spending most of the day packing up our belongings!! No move date as of yet, but it's better to be organised than not!!

Happy Monday 🤍☺️
