A Curious Arrangement

Our Sold Out Christmas classes are underway over the next few weekends. Those wreaths just get better and better. Our postman, Garry will have a difficult job this year, picking a winner in the village. Competition is fierce for the highly coveted nod of approval from our resident bringer of cheer. Not just Christmas cheer, but all year round cheer. Maybe we should have Garry on the grid…

More often than not restraint speaks louder than extravagance ever could. Shades of ivory with a touch of green.

This particular palette feels like an inheritance—of taste, of discipline, of a world that values permanence over spectacle. Our flowers stand—composed, refined, unwavering—quiet symbols of an elegance that was evident long before the wedding day and will endure ever after.

Now that the winter classes are full and the wreath orders are sliding into our DM’s it time to put together a playlist for the workshop. We have a Phil Spector Christmas default playlist and The Peanuts Vince Guaraldi Trio, also lesser known classics from The Ramones and Tom Waits. Sometimes the mood isn’t Bublé enough for time honoured seasonal riffs so we have a bit of Prince for Julie and Robyn, Nate Dogg and Warren G for Amy, Led Zepp for Sheila, Joni for Linda and we like nothing better than to listen to Nicola accompanying Elkie Brooks as she declares that Pearls a Singer. I have my very own post class, tidy up playlist. Anything goes around here and ideas are very welcome if you’re attending our classes or not. Please feel free to make a jaunty, upbeat suggestion.

The heady scent of tuberose filled the air as Sam and her bouquet glided like light air through the halls of

Floral fireworks in the shape of tarantula amaryllis and the golden fade of astilbe foliage, the first plant which caught my eye on the way to the compost heap at the workshop. Not a flower which is used often by our atelier but the pale lemon foliage in autumn is the perfect partner to these delicate, two tone flowers. A perfect reminder that after the fireworks it will be cheese season. Wishing a happy cheese season to all who celebrate.
