It doesn’t take much to make a simply beautiful flower display. A tiny lustre bud vase found on e-bay. A few hellebores snipped from the garden. A special handmade candle from Scotland. Some ivy from the garden in a tiny terracotta pot. Hellebores last for weeks and I can’t take my eyes off them this time of year.

Natt and I both adore the Flower Fairies poems ♥️ sharing the Narcissus Fairy

Brown bulbs were buried deep; Now, from the kind old earth, Out of the winter’s sleep, Comes a new birth! Flowers on stems that sway; Flowers of snowy white; Flowers as sweet as day, After the night. So does Narcissus bring Tidings most glad and plain: “Winter’s gone; here is Spring—

The twisty hazel from lovely friend Pat Alan Ward makes me smile every time I open the door. My new year /winter wreath is thriving in this dreadful weather and the tiny catkins of the hazel are a promise of new beginnings. Wreaths aren’t just for Christmas! Watch this space for updates on wreath making workshops in the weeks to come.

A week in the life …

January is a quiet month for florists - particularly those who prefer to buy from British growers. We have had a couple of days on the studio, re-setting after Christmas (Valentine shrine in progress 🤣). We have our plans in place for studio workshops (more to come on that) and have conditioned and arranged wraps of early British flowers for delivery. We are working on our website too! Thanks to each and everyone of you who support us - every like, comment a d purchase makes a huge difference! Clare and Natt

So we have hung up our aprons and put the snips away. The last of the flowers have been taken home (or on holiday) to decorate ready for our own festivities. We are so grateful to everyone for their support in this first year. Thank you for trusting us with those important moments in your life, celebrating new relations or saying farewell to loved ones. Thank you for your joyous engagement with our workshops - vintage vases, meadowboxes, pumpkin vases, table decorations and an array of wreaths! Thank you for every like, every share, every comment. It all helps! Natt and I wish you all a wonderful, restorative festive break. We hope to continue making memories with you in the new year. Clare x

Yesterday we had a participant from the other side of the world…though I expect we weren’t her primary reason to travel 🤣 Two friends and their mums in a festive studio takeover creating gorgeous table arrangements. What a treat it has been to help so many people make Christmas memories in the studio this year. Thank you to each and everyone of you 🩷

Enjoyed playing with ‘leftover’ flowers and foliage today. The candle tray has been packed tightly with beautiful Welsh moss and stems inserted. The urn arrangement is in chicken wire. Simple techniques that mean we never have to use harmful flower foam / oasis.

This detail is from a bespoke cross shaped wreath made in remembrance. The cross frame is covered in Welsh moss, with beautiful British foliage amplifying its shape. Texture is created with broom, rosemary, wax flower, eryngium and rose hips. Small succulents add further interest.

A living wreath is a beautiful and environmentally friendly alternative to the classic grave pot at Christmas. This one contains succulents, ivy and thyme, planted into Welsh moss and embellished with eryngium, rosemary and pine cones. It was an honour to make this.
