Feeling๐Ÿ’the๐Ÿ’fear๐Ÿ’and๐Ÿ’doing๐Ÿ’it๐Ÿ’anyway...
*puffs out cheeks*
๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ
CRIKEY, it's been quite the day of imposter syndrome
โ˜๐ŸปI had some feedback over email, that I'm having to really roll with (i'm dealing with it in a way that feels authentic to me, ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿปit lands well)
โœŒ๐ŸปI had my first meeting today with a bunch of INSANELY talented people, with whom I'll be sharing a tent with at the first ever Flower Hub Marquee, run by seretonin in human form and the living legend that is at next May's
๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿคฏ
LITERALLY WTF AM I DOING!
๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
I'm only at the end of my second year driving this ridiculous flowery ๐Ÿคก car and I've learnt S O M U C H already, but guess what, dudes, THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMING!
๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜†
So today, I swallowed back the bit of sick that came up when I had to talk through my creative ideas in a room of trained professionals, thanked my lucky โญ๏ธ for some fantastic female mentors ( you are becoming my sexy Yoda btw) pulled up my big girl pants and JFDI.
๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ๐Ÿซฃ
And you know what? It will be fine. Better than fine, bloody awesome in fact!
๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป
Because the biggest lesson I've learnt from all the amazing women I'm meeting on this adventure is to be yourself; unapolegetically, authentically, unashamedly yourself.
๐Ÿฉท๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฉท
So says HELL YEAH! to every opportunity that comes your way, and feel ALL the fears; they are real and valid...BUT JUST F๐Ÿ’œCKING DO IT ANYWAY!
๐ŸŽข๐ŸŽข๐ŸŽข
Because crazy s**t is always going to go down, babes, and you can either drown in it, or ride it whooping with joy, throwing handfuls of (biodegradable) glitter about the place with the wind in your hair!

7 brilliant ladies spent two hours picking from a whole host of Foxlight dried flowers, feathers, ribbon and mini disco balls to adorn their hand made dried willow wreaths today, and the results are INCREDIBLE!
๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป
I promised all killer, no filler and I am beyond excited to share their wreaths with you.
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’๐Ÿ’
I wanted to offer people an alternative to the trad wreath making for a couple of reasons:
โ˜๐ŸปThere's loads of amazing flower farmers and florists who already provide sumptuous seasonal wreathmaking and do it far better than I ever could
โœŒ๐ŸปI just fu๐ŸŒˆking loโค๏ธe color!

โšก๏ธA VERY EXCITING THINGโšก๏ธ
Those who have known me for a long time, will know I have a thing for art, specifically installation art that you can really immerse yourself in
๐Ÿ–Œ๐Ÿ–Œ๐Ÿ–Œ
I was therefore hopping around like an excitable cat on a hot tin roof when contacted me looking for some very specific dried flowers for an installation she was doing.
๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
Not only that, but this amazing cool beautiful wonderous thing, was only being installed in somewhere i used to go when i lived a cool, hip, other life in my old stomping ground of B-Town!

So here she is: a gorgeous, undulating, mysterious, gentle, soft and natural allium, achilla, palm frond and fabric backlit canopy to eat a delicious supper under
Go sit under her, look up and toast the dried flowers that and I grew from seed, nurtured and dried before Rachel turned them into something incredible

Art has been a huge part of my life for a really long time
๐Ÿ–Œ๐Ÿ–Œ๐Ÿ–Œ
It's been an inspiration, an escape, it's re-energised me when i've needed a boost and it's helped me access feelings i needed to address
๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™‚
I've worked with artists, for a respected print-maker and am honoured to know many artists, creatives and performers.
๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป
So to have something that I've grown from seed, inspire a talented artist and be featured in their work, is not only mindblowing but really rather bloody emotional!
๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน
Just look at this incredible illustration by of a strawflower and zinna from my picking patch? Its absolutely bloody marvellous.

I can't wait to see it in real life!

It was a rare thing indeed to have an evening of creating 'just for me' and as well as learning a new skill, i've reminded my self how important it is for me to creatively recharge my batteries

I really bloody pulled this one out of the bag. As well as being a parent, I have a day job at , so to fit this in at short notice and do everything I needed to to get this rating is pretty damn impressive.

Hi flower fans!
Tomorrow is our tea + cake tasting event and the weather is looking lovely!
๐ŸŒž
if I haven't heard from you by either DM or whats app, you won't have a parking space allocated, so any last minute decision makers let me know this evening please! (Friday 26th).
โœŒ๐Ÿป
Use google maps to find us (the best for our location) and make a note of the start time of 11am. Foxlight is on private land, there's no parking near by and we won't open our gates any earlier.
SO LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL!

Pretty much every florist and flower farmer i know is now in the early embrace of wedding/civil ceremony/hand-fasting season!
๐Ÿ’๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’
and it's no secret that the price of imported flowers has gone utterly bonkers, due to global energy costs, BREXIT and every other variable that could possibly vary

BUT DON'T WORRY MY FLOWER FAN, DUDES!
๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป
For anyone who hasn't planned their flowers yet, or who are starting to think about their nuptuals next year, here's some tips to help:
๐ŸŒป think about dried - easily sourced throughout the year for 2024 and kept safe and snug, like these beauties above i dried last summer for a wedding in June. Their vintage look and colour pallette go so well with boho schemes
๐ŸŒปD.I.Y flowers are always affordable and buying by the bucket means you can manage a budget really easily
๐ŸŒปThink colour scheme first - not specific blooms. seasonality means JUST THAT, peonies for example have a super short flowering window, but zinnia can achieve a similar look and flower for a lot longer in the UK
๐ŸŒปHerbs like Sage, Rosemary and Mint are AMAZING in a bouquet and the colours and textures mixed together are utterly delicious (oh and you'll look super cool and edgy ๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿป)
๐ŸŒปTRUST YOUR FLORIST + FLOWER FARMER! These dudes are the experts, do this s**t FOR A LIVING and will make recommendations to suit your budget and dates
๐ŸŒปLast but not least, ENJOY THE PROCESS! getting your face stuck in some nature is bloody wonderful for the soul, relax into choosing your flowers, let that cortisol and blood pressure drop and b r e a t h e.....

I've put it on the website, so it's official - I've opened my life coaching books again and am inviting you to create the life you've always wanted.
๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿป
I have specifically trained to work with women who feel lost post redundancy, feel stuck after experiencing a relationship breakdown, want to find a new path in life after childbirth, or those looking to turbo boost their careers or even turn their passion into a profession.ย

Basically, if you want to start a new adventure in life and make your dreams come true โ€“ personal or professional โ€“ Iโ€™m your woman!

Hi flower fans!

Our cake and tea-tasting event is in 3 weeks (squee!) and I'm closing the RSVP list this weekend, as I need to confirm numbers.

If you are planning on coming, but haven't RSVP-ed to the invite, then please do so this weekend. If you thought you could make it, but now cannot, then please let me know by removing your damn fine self from the attendees.

As parking is limited, car sharing is preferred (BECAUSE THE PLANET IS ON FIRE). I need to know:
1. number of cars coming
2. number of flower fans in each car
So I can make enough delishus cake and prep the right number of mini-dried flower bouquets for you all.

Thank you, love you, see you in 3 weeks!
xoxo

We've had a fantastic weekend starting work on converting our old horsebox into Tina the Tea Hut!

AND WE NEED YOUR HELP CHOOSING WHAT CAKE AND TEA TO SERVE FROM HER!

We're holding a tea and cake tasting event on Saturday, 27th May, from 11am, where as well as enjoying slabs of homemade cake, we'll also have a range of loose-leaf teas to sample.

As well as the cake-fest of a morning, you'll have a sneak peek of how the Foxlight Flower beds are getting ready to bloom this summer, and everyone who attends will get a mini bouquet of Foxlight Flowers as a thank you for helping us choose what to put on our new Tea Hut menu.

Visit our Foxlight Events to RSVP!

(Numbers are restricted due to parking on site)

Meet, Tina - our new Foxlight Tea Hut!
๐Ÿซ–๐Ÿซ–๐Ÿซ–
We've been really challenged by the weather at the Farm. The continual rain has made it impossible to get the machines down to the bottom field to start building the tea hut.
๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒง๐ŸŒง
Having the tea hut is such a big part of our plans for this summer, with time running out, we had to find a solution
๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”
and 48 hours ago saw it on the tinterweb!
AND SHE'S A BOBBY DAZZLER!
๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ
Well... she WILL be!
๐Ÿ› ๐Ÿ› ๐Ÿ› 
We have some hard work to get her looking awesome and have to tweak some more plans to make sure we have comfortable and shaded seating for you all, but i can't wait to serve you tremendous tea and life changing cake from her!
