💖 What a beautiful, magical, joy-filled evening I have just had with the loveliest group of ladies in my workshop. We drank coffee, ate cake, listened to music, shared stories and created stunning hanging heart decorations, planted up with succulents, nestled in amongst twigs and moss. It was perfect 💖✨
If this is your vibe, come and join me on our next workshop - Spring Bulb Wreath on 27th February 🌷🪻🌷🪻

It is truly a luxury to be able to take yourself off at a moments notice, to satisfy an urge to see something beautiful. A morning spent decluttering and moving furniture had me overwhelmed and uninspired.
Stepping beneath these towering trees - Spruce I think, (though my conifer knowledge is a little rusty) was exactly what I needed. Listening to the sounds around us - the distant bark of a dog, the squeal of an excited child, the satisfying crunch of the thickening snow underfoot, the dull thud as clumps of it fell off weighted branches, the whistle of the wind weaving through the treetops.
Moments like these feel like such a gift—unexpected, fleeting, and deeply grounding. I’m equally grateful for the warmth of home and the promise of dry clothes waiting for us at the end of it all.

Thank you 2024 for all the beautiful flowers, gorgeous soulful friendships, laughs, sea swims, forest walks and everything in between… See you all in 2025 🥰🥰
I wasn’t sure whether to post this here or on my personal page, but I consider so many of you as friends now and I feel that being open about experiences like this is important on all platforms as you just never know who it might help in a small way.
A couple of months ago I took part in an online creative writing class with @veryjessica and @themanifestationcollective and I have finally tweaked and refined the piece enough to be brave enough to share it! One of the visualisations that I had during the session was from when I worked at Kellie Castle in Scotland and their walled garden had a green wooden gate at the entrance. When visitors opened the gate and took their first step into the garden - their reaction was that of wonder and always came with an audible ‘Wow!’ which used to make us gardeners smile. They hadn’t realised what beauty was waiting for them beyond the gate.
This year has been a LOT - of discovery, healing, love, stepping out of my comfort zone and I’ve made a lot of new friends - souls that align with the person I want to be.
I braved a course of cognitive behavioural therapy which I was unsure of at first and spent the whole first session crying but my goodness did I learn a lot about my brain during those weeks. I would go so far to say it was life-changing.
So 2024 was an emotional year to say the very least but one I am now glad I experienced and I’m ready to see what is beauty is behind the gate that I’m about to open in 2025. Also I’ll probably post a more upbeat reel later, looking back at my favourite flowery moments of the last 12 months so stay tuned for that.
😘😘😘
One of my favourite places to flower - and drink coffee! Pippa & Miles always give me the most wonderful ideas to work with and the trust to bring them to life 💚

🌺👌🏻What to do when your beautiful Amaryllis flowers get too heavy and bend the stem!

✨ A wreath for my own door at last! Inspired by leftover William Morris fabric and including all my favourite decorations. I love her - and she will probably be on my door until Spring!
✨❄️I thought this doorway deserved a bit of snow and sparkle… Just call me the Christmas Fairy Godmother!
It’s such a privilege to go to my lovely clients houses and help them dress them for the festive season.
Ellen requested a natural, woodland vibe for her home, with earthy tones and subtle hints of Christmas with stars and dried fruit. And of course sparkly warm fairy lights!

🥰 From the bottom of my happy heart - thank you!
🎄17 workshops, over 200 wreaths made (too many to fit in a reel and I also forgot to take pictures of some of them!), 20kg of pine cones, so many pretty bows, nearly 30 litres of AF mulled wine drank, plates and plates of cake and mince pies, but most of all - so much laughter.
⭐️ I loved hosting every single one of you and I hope to see you in 2025 for more creative workshops…
🎅🏻 1 more week to go in the shop to help you fill your homes with more botanical and floral delights and then we are putting our feet up for the rest of the year!

🎀 Ribbons… they are my obsession. My favourite ribbon changes with my mood… am I a dark sumptuous velvet today? Or perhaps a playful polka dot grosgrain?
🎄Anyway - if you are booked onto one of our Christmas Wreath Workshops, you can stand and delight at this in person while you decide which trim takes your fancy.
