Naturally Fleurish

Yes.. this is really happening now.. there's no escape... we can't thank everyone enough for all your sincere, generous & loving support
❤💐

Exmoor Studios, the mini theatre which used to be the Bank in Dulverton, is part of an emotional fundraising event happening this Friday, 1 April, at 6pm.

Two local folk are getting all their hair (head!!) removed. Sarah Gatehouse, Dulverton's florist at Naturally Fleurish has a particularly nasty cancer and, having had radical surgery, is undergoing chemo, radio and hormone therapies starting three days later. The hirsute Farren Broomfield, her partner, is joining her in the challenge. From 6pm on Friday they are going to pre-empt Sarah's inevitable hair loss and be totally shorn, in Exmoor Studios, raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Musgrove Park Hospital. They have particularly fine hair including Farren's beard. Two local hairdressers from Dulverton’s own 'Hows the Hair’, 'Bodmin House' and Isis Wellbeing and Skin Care will be performing the miracles.

We wish the couple every success with their fundraiser and brave Sarah lots of luck with her treatment.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my fundraising page. Cancer is happening right now, which is why I’m fundraising right now for Cancer Research UK. As many of you may know, I was diagnosed with breast cancer in November last year, after discovering a small lump. I have undergone numerous tests,...

Wishing all my lovely customers a peaceful, healthy & Happy Christmas.. thank you for your continued support, in what has been a challenging year. The first year my thumbs have survived without cracks!! I am truly amazed & humbled by the support of the Dulverton & local community. Best place I've ever lived ❤
Spritza & I are now switching off for a few weeks to enjoy some us, family time.

Personally, I now have to face my own challenges & look forward to reopening in the spring of 2022. Love Sarah 😘🤗

Happy second birthday to Naturally Fleurish.. 💐🥳
I had no idea if my little dream was going to work or not ... so after opening in November 2019 , four months before covid 19 hit the world , it has certainlybeen more than a challenge... I have had some hilarious fun times. Created more unique, personal bouquets, floral arrangements , weddings & sympathy tributes for & to the local folk. But most of all, I am so glad I listened to my intuition, turned left at those crossroads near Molland & through circumstance plonked myself wholeheartedly in Dulverton, only previously knowing one person, Jane Brimblecombe, who sadly has passed to the better place. I have managed to continue trading, move shops, sold my car to buy a delivery van & keep relatively sane!!
Over the last 2 years I have met some beautiful kind, sincere people , made lifelong friends & would not wish to live anywhere else. The local community have embraced me, my creativity & I would like to thank each & everyone of you who have supported me. I hope to continue!!!Thank you. Sarah 🤗💐😘

Wow. What a busy few days.. Mother's day, clearing out & moving to my new shop just a few yards away. Cant quite believe that 16 months has passed since I remember Rachael & I stripping off the wallpaper & choosing paint colours , not knowing a single person in Dulverton... .and now...Felt rather emotional thinking about all the fun , laughter, conversations, meetings,, sometimes long cold hours, & creations that have happened within these walls.. but most of all - the friendships that have formed.
I can honestly say that I feel as if the community has carried me to the new shop. I cannot thank you all for your offers & of support generosity & kindnesss.. you know who you are... 🥰🤗 I couldn't list you all.there is no way I could have managed without you.
And now I hope that No 8 Fore St will continue with all the positive vibes. ..💐❤🥰🙌🤣👀🙈🌷🌺🌻🌻🍀👀🤞

Although it might appear Spritza & Fidget are already bored!!🙈🙈

Here's the progress so far .. & my first flaar delivery.... more to follow "As it Happens "

Thought I'd share this blue that I think we miss at the moment.
I just love to lie down, (although it was quite damp grass!!) feel the earth & look up. It all seems so vast & puts a perspective on these crazy times. I can remember as a child asking my dad where does it end & even now I struggle to comprehend it goes on forever...

14/01/2021

Despite the current restrictions & the town looking sad with so many shops closed, I have decided to bring my beautiful flaars forward into my shop window to shed a little joy, brightness & colours for you to enjoy!! You can call/email for any requests orders etc... local delivery available .. yes it's Me (the eyes have it !) & yes they are Forget-me-nots 🌹

One year anniversary of opening my little shop in Dulverton....
What a year this has been! Certainly couldn't have predicted the situation we are now in.. even so, I am so glad I took the plunge, not knowing what would happen or if my crazy dream would come true. What I can say is I've learnt so much, met some beautiful people, made some life long friends & had many happy times with lots of laughs. Oh yes , ... I am so lucky to have you appreciate my creativity with some crazy & beautiful flowers !!! Thank you from deep jn my heart to all my lovely clients & friends who have supported me.. also to Fidget & Spritza for enduring some long cold days.
Who knows what year 2 might bring ..🤗💙💚❤

I plan to be in my shop mid mornings to look after my stock & to create bouquets & arrangements to order, but the shop is shut for customers.
The flower & plant supply chains are fully open, so there should be no interruption with any requests & I will continue to stock a full range of beautiful seasonal flowers, plants & gifts. Plus thd odd crazy stuff!!
If you are in any doubt, just give me call.
I don't plan to be in my shop all day, as its simply not the same without you all popping in.. 💙
