We are back open tomorrow!!

That is Tuesday 7th January, incase IG shows you this in three weeks time!

I'm back after a lovely break in Devon, and a few days at home catching up on everything I didn't do in December!

I'm looking forward to seeing you all, and being away from the biscuit/chocolate cupboard! Is anyone else picking and grazing all day long?!

We have a very spring vibe for the flower bar, and some lovely new pots in, some of which will get planted up with bulbs.

Let's face it, it's cold, dark and snowy, so we definitely need the promise of spring in our homes more than ever!

Ordering for the new season!

I've been ordering for the new season ahead today, and we have some gorgeous tulip vases en-route!

And I've ordered some fab faux botanicals too, including some plants, so I'm looking forward to sharing those with you around the 18th January.

We're open from Tuesday 7th January, with fresh spring inspired flowers, and this weekend I'll be getting the shop ready to open.

Of course, that'll mean a new window display, shall I fill it with tulips? Are you ready for a bit of spring?

Let's hope we're not wading through the snow to get there!

So no review of '24 from me, I'm looking forward to a summer with the pitta patta of tiny feet 👣

Happy New Year!!

Wishing you a joyous festive season, with huge thanks.

Huge thanks to each and every one of you for shopping with me this year, for your kindness and support and love.

The last six months have been a challenge, and, at times, opening my door has been hard, but with your love and support I was able to do it. I'm so fortunate to have the customers I have, you're all amazing and i appreciate you all greatly.

THANK YOU 🤍

We are now closed, and I'm on my way to Devon for a break with my husband, children, their wives/partners and Elvis the dog!!

I can't wait to feel that sea air, laugh, rest and walk!

I hope you are with loved ones, and have the Christmas you wish for, for those without someone they wished was there, I'm sending you a big hug and love.

I'll be back on Tuesday 7th January xx

Why you'll never find amaryllis in my bouquets....

Amaryllis are a stand out flower, deserving of their own space and moment in the spot light.

Their trumpet flowers are huge, and either get squashed in a bouquet or bully the other flowers.

Their stems are fleshy and are unhappy squashed amongst other stems, they are easily crushed and then unable to take up water.

And here's my pet hate..... one amaryllis stem sticking out the top of a bouquet.... with less premium flowers surrounding it half way down its stem.... in my opinion a waste of a beautiful flower!

So here's the way to do it, if you want a mixed vase....

Buy your amaryllis, and have them wrapped separately to protect their delicate heads and stems.

Then select your foliage, nice tall stems, and then add in an equally premium flowers, say Bells of Ireland, thistles and stunning roses to complement your colour scheme.

Va va boom! You can then arrange them in your vase at home, a perfect Christmas arrangement 🌲

And if it's a bouquet you want, please stick to all the beautiful seasonal flowers and colours, with lots of beautiful eucalyptus 😘

Can you believe - in a week it'll be Christmas Eve?

So it's time to get a wiggle on, get your flower orders in, choose your table decoration, pick up planted gifts and dec the 'halls' with flowers!

Amaryllis are in the shop, you can buy them now, store them out of water flat somewhere cool and dry ready to arrange in water at the weekend.

How perfect is that? You can cross something off your list and avoid the chaos over the weekend!

Pop by and choose your colour, white, red, deep burgundy or natural green..... ?

When they've gone, they're gone!

Here's your warning!

Winter wreaths- we have a very limited selection left!

So if you want one of our gorgeous winter wreaths you really need to get a wiggle on - I think we have half a dozen left, and when they're gone they're gone!

Our suppliers are out of moss and so are we, and I have used every last bit.

On the plus side we've been planting up our beautiful vessels today , you're keeping us super busy and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Honestly, thank you for your continued support, it's making us feel very loved 🤍

Now I'm going for a soak in a hot bath, with a cheeky G&T....

Refresh, renew and restock...

That's pretty much been my day!

Tuesdays are always busy, and much more so at this time of year.

They always start with opening the door to a delivery of fresh flowers, plants and bulbs, today we had a few new pots and vases in too.

Once that little lot was sorted, it was on to making some wreaths, then planting up containers. The window display's has had a facelift and the rest of the shop has been merchandised.

And I've helped lots of you with flowers, wreaths, and choosing those all important presents, not all for other people!!

It's been a busy day, and tomorrow I'll open the door to another delivery.... and we'll do it all again!

But that's what I love, being busy, creating and helping you..... it's my December diet, no time to eat, so I just might squeeze into those size 10's come Christmas Eve?!?!?

I've seen this sentiment all over Instagram today & over the weekend.

And although it's a great thought, it's about so much more....

Small businesses are often run by one person, a person who's passionate about their trade, who'll help and guide you buy well. They are real people with costs of their own, both business and personal.

Small businesses have had a challenging year, many are relying on Christmas to keep going next year.

Supporting small businesses keeps our town alive and thriving whilst encouraging others to open shops and businesses.

If you choose to pop into town and shop from your local shops you're potentially keeping other services alive, bus services, taxis, etc

You'll hopefully have a fab shopping experience and tell others about the business you used. Word of mouth recommendations are the best!

You'll create a town with happy, bustling vibes, word spreads and others come to add to the local economy.

And you'll make whoever you choose to support very happy, and their hard work will feel worthwhile. In turn, they will then shop local and add more to the local economy.

So please, keep your town the bustling place it should be, and as a bonus, Santa will put you on the nice list, hope he shops local too??!?!

Wreaths are a coming!

This weekend will kick off Christmas Door Decor, and it's luxury all the way!

If some conifer, cinnamon sticks, orange slices and a red bow are your thing, then walk on by....

On the other hand, if you love a full wreath full of premium foliage, thistles, velvet green ribbon, eucalyptus and other floral delights, all on a moss base come on in!

Want something more sustainable? Something you can take from your door to your garden? We'll have our Christmas living wreaths created with hellebore & Ivy plants, hyacinth and narcissi bulbs, finished off the p***y willow and foliage.

Round not your shape? We'll have door swags too....

I know, I spoil you 🌲🌲🌲

Well the start of the day wasn't what we expected....
....but it ended where I wanted it to be, with a Christmas window 99% finished.

I just need to add some extra lights tomorrow and it's done!

As usual it's impossible to photograph, so you're just going to have to see it in person!

The last big deliveries have arrived too, so my bottom hasn't seen a chair all day, my throat complained of a drought, and my tummy is rumbling!!

So it's a hot bath to warm up, an early supper and bed, this is how I roll heading into December!

Who's enjoyed the snow, and who will be pleased to see it go?

Ps..... these are our beautiful gift vouchers, available from the shop or online 😉

Are you ready for the week?

Up and at it, or wishing to hide under the covers?!

My week has started with a lovely autumnal drive through beautiful countryside to .

My client Anna and her husband Robin are creating a magical space to retreat to, to escape our busy lives and take time to enjoy workshops in naturally curated surroundings.... it could be a day workshop or a longer stay.... anyone fancy a bit of that?

My thinking cap is on.... in the meantime you'll find me in the window of the shop creating Christmas magic!

I'll be closed on Saturday 16th November

So please shop in the week this week!

Saturday is the committal of my Dads ashes, I'm not ready to do it, but, sometimes you have to do what other family members feel is important!

It's never easy to agree so half are being buried and the other half, which I like to think of as my half, will go out to sea with the Royal Navy in the spring.

Family dynamics, huh, please tell me we all have them?!?

It's that time of year to retreat inside and create a cosy home.

Light the fire, turn down the dimmer switch and light the candles.

And if you can fragrance your home at the same time that's a fabulous bonus!

Our signature candles are the softest fragrance, it gently adds a beautiful bespoke scent with its all natural ingredients of eucalyptus, black spruce, lemon, rosemary, rosewood and ginger grass.

Exclusively created for me by the amazing .aromatherapy they are made from the finest non-genetically modified soya wax.

There's no nasties in my candle, just pure joy!

One disclaimer; one isn't enough, you'll be back for more!

Remembering all those who have fallen, so we have our freedom.

And respecting all those who continue to serve today, so we can always have our freedom and security, keeping us safe from harm.

I watched the festival of remembrance last night, and it bought back memories of watching it as a child with my Dad. We had to stand when the national anthem was played and remain silent when the poppies fell. And quite right too.

Dad honoured and remembered his fellow service men who lost their lives, serving in Northern Island and The Falklands war. He was air lifted off HMS Atlantic Conveyor when it was bombed, how different life could have been if other service men and women hadn't risked their lives to save his. Those hero's gifted me another 40 years with my Dad.

You're uppermost in my thoughts today Dad, I proud of you for keeping us safe and grateful you always came home 🤍

Hello Instagram - it's been a while!

And all of a sudden it's dark by 5pm, and Christmas is around the corner!

But first November!

Earlier in the year I made the decision to add faux botanicals to the shop, and boy, you've loved them!

And today it's had a glow up with gorgeous winter berries, rich decadent foliage and lots of faux eucalyptus.

The shop has suddenly taken on a warm winter feeling, and your home can too!

We're here to help, with a great selection of vases, and all the skills to create you a fabulous arrangement. But if you've a favourite vase of your own, bring it in, and we'll help you choose the right stems for your home.

Come and see us, see if you can spot the fresh from the faux!
