Morning all!
Well hello March! Spring has sprung! It’s great to see some lovely daffies out to cheer our souls! (Although not yet in this photo).
Still some places for our spring workshops. A wreath and vase ones. See our website for details.

Hello all! What a beautiful sunny day!
Spring is finally around the corner ☀️🌿

Hello all! How are we? It is sooo drab today, grey and drizzly! What happened to those crisp sunny February days we love!
Anyhow!
Happy Valentines for yesterday!
It was a great day, we love it when the shop is buzzing and it was a lovely chatty fun day without being stressful!
Now to the negative…the flower prices were bonkers, higher than I’ve ever known them!
As if selling a luxury, perishable item on a tiny dales highstreet isn’t hard enough. It’s no wonder florists are closing down all over!
Unlike the growers and wholesalers we don’t up our margins at peak times, in fact we end up charging less than we should because at least we’ll know they will be sold.
So to all the twitterers who say Valentines is an excuse to put prices up. We agree to a certain extent but us small independents don’t! So rant over. Huge thanks to all our lovely, loyal customers we are eternally grateful 😘 ###

Hello all! Hope alls well!
I’ve had a very productive day, I’m a list person, I love to write a list and tick off the jobs, it’s so satisfying!
One of the many jobs was to get the workshops on the website. So you can now book them online.
Our 5 week spring course starts on the 20th of March. DM me your email for details.
So long for now…..x

Good morning all! Hope we are well!
Another Monday and the last week in January.
So much has happened this month, it’s been a wacky one for sure! Weather being the primary conversation, what the heck!!!
Climate change was a hot topic at the conference. I learned some alarming statistics about flower growing overseas and the industry as a whole. There has never been a more important time to buy local and really consider where our food and flowers come from.
I’ll talk more about specifics, but for now, have a great day x🌿

Hello all!
Any signs of spring yet? A few snowdrops appearing and the catkins are just starting to wiggle their tails if you look hard enough.
As we brace ourselves for some wild weather to come how much more has January got to throw at us!
Apparently a wet January, a wet spring! Hopefully not!
Lucy in today for your flowery needs. X🌿

Good morning! And what a beautiful one!
I’m jobbing about today, I’m going to plant the last of my bulbs (I know it’s sooo late)!
A couple of deliveries to do then we are finally doing the attic bathroom, after 8 years of a hole in the landing, so I’m off to get doors and shop for tiles!
I did a demo for West Tanfield WI last night, a great bunch of ladies who meet in the pub every month, now that’s my kind of WI…
Anyway, a photo of our muscari pots, they fly out as quick as they’re made!
Have a great day all!

Hello all and Merry Christmas!
I hope you all had a super day yesterday!

Today is my favourite day of Christmas, warmed up Christmas lunch is the best and a nice walk this afternoon is much needed.
I feel like I’ve been in hibernation, December is a marathon, a month of solid chaos, going to work in the still nearly dark and coming home in the dark takes its toll, so I’m hoping for a lovely day outside to enjoy some much needed vitamin D.

The shop has been so busy. it’s fab to have the buzz of so many customers in and out!
Thank you to everyone who ordered flowers and wreaths, who came on our workshops and those who just pop in with a jam jar now and then. We are eternally grateful!

We are closed until the 8th of Jan for a break. See you in the new Year!

Good morning all!
Sorry it’s been so quiet on here. Silly season is upon us!
Huge thank you to everyone who attended our wreath workshops. 100 places over a week is full on but some fabulous wreaths made and some lovely, super talented ladies came along. It’s my favourite thing to do, the sense of achievement is a joy to see.
Speaking of wreaths we are still beavering away making them. If you’re very lucky you’ll find one outside but demand is higher than our fingers can make them so orders are a priority.

Spot the new stock…..super chuffed to be stocking they are a beautifully packaged, handcrafted, eco conscious luxury brand so we’re delighted to support them.

Signing off loads to do. Will try harder to get content for you all, promise!

Hello all!
Well we have definitely hit the ground running with Christmas this last week. The shops looking super festive and I’ve just cut my first lot of pine for wreaths.
Is it me or is it earlier this year than ever before. Wreath workshops start on Friday. We very much looking forward to attending Tennants Winter Park wonderland Fair on Friday and Saturday this week, hope to see plenty of you there!
