Eee well I’ve just officially sacked myself from my role as owner and florist at The Northumberland Forager 🤭 (I’m so dramatic but it’s true).

If you know anything about me you’ll know that my heart has to be 💯 in a thing for me to do it and my heart isn’t with this flower business anymore and rather than go through the motions and try to change it to fit who I am now I am doing the admirable thing and allowing it to remain perfect as it was and close it entirely.

The Northumberland Forager was a dream come true for me, my passion, my first born business that always had a time limit on it to be honest and lasted a lot longer than I had planned in my mind. For that I am eternally grateful to God, flowers and you guys.

I really am truly grateful for every single one of you who supported my business over these four years - whether that has been buying my flowers, liking and sharing my posts or talking positively about me to people who were after a quirky florist who’s work come from the heart and soul.

I will never forget any of you 🥲✌️🌹☺️🥰

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hello flower, it’s been a while since I wrote to you. Tell me how you are 🥰☀️🌹

Happy 1st December (aka it’s universally acceptable to put your Christmas tree up day) to you all. I only start to feel Christmassy once I deliver the first round of door wreaths and with the blanket of snow laying all over Cosett right now, it’s hard to not feel excited for the festive season and all the magic it brings.

I also want to say that I know that this particular holiday season can be difficult for a lot of people and if you find yourself struggling right now please reach out for support and don’t keep it all to yourself.

Love to you all 🎄✨✨✨✨

Do you know one thing that is guaranteed to DESTROY your self concept faster than how fast this year has gone?

It’s listening to other peoples opinions about YOURSELF and taking them as facts!

The thing is most all humans are just walking unhealed versions of themselves, who project their very own conditioned beliefs onto others - it’s giving zombie vibes for real and would you listen to a zombie if they called you ugly or told you you could lose some weight? ofc you wouldn’t and although that’s a pretty insane analogy, I want you to remember this the next time someone gives you their unsolicited opinion. Most of the time they’re just after something (hint: to make you feel less than so that it makes them feel good about themselves)

So, the next time someone gives you an opinion that they ought to have kept to themselves become SUPER curious as to how their words feel in your body. If you get any sort of feeling that makes you feel less than the best version of yourself use your discernment to quickly turn around and say to their zombie like face (whoops sorry not sorry): “I respectively reject your opinion, thank you but I do not agree.” (bonus points if you can speak out loud what you do agree to be true about yourself.

2024 is almost her and what we are NOT going to do is allow ANYONES opinion to change who you are and how you live YOUR life.

We all have to work at being quick to discern what feels good in our bodies before we choose to allow it to filter into your mind because what we BECOME what we say we are so make sure you are speaking words that uplift you because believe me, it’s tough out there if you don’t!

Much love,
Danielle

my aim, my loves, is to offer non subscribers some fresh flowers again by the end of this year 🤞 i’m working on it - i really am 🥲

in the meantime i deliver flower subscriptions on a thursday only but i would love to get some sort of feel as to how well received opening two extra days would be (wednesday, thursday, friday). thanks in advance x

when it comes to making bouquets for my subscribers i have TWO rules whilst designing them and what i ask myself before i pack them into my car and deliver to their homes 🚗

(ok i probs have more than two rules but these are my mains, otherwise it’s gets too complicated lol)

1. am i like, SEETHING with envy that i don’t get to have this bouquet in MY home? of the answer is no, which it never has been tbh i would REMAKE!!!

and 2. when i’m out walking my dog or driving past the hedgerows - can i see elements of my bouquets in them? can i or could anyone else see my creative work has sought inspiration from the countryside?

my style comes very intuitively now - i often think i’m being very creative or experimental with a colour choice until i drive out into the countryside and i laugh to myself because i notice how much it’s influence is ingrained in my work. i wouldn’t have it any other way ❤️

p.s yes, i laugh to myself whilst driving and looking at nature and i’m proud to admit that also🤪

so so sad 😞 what’s wrong with these people?
