Flower organising in the studio today. I love making use of my vintage jars and jugs to store my flowers.

Placing my Autumn order this week, my favourite season 🍂

It may still be July but already thinking of Autumn colours for my next dried flowers order. Loving these orange and red tones.

Happy Monday everyone. After a lovely break from everything, it feels good to be back in the studio and cracking on with my to do list for this week.

07/07/2024

I will be taking a well earned break over the next couple of weeks to chill and spend time with my daughter. Trying to do it all is starting to take its toil 💙

These gorgeous natural bouquets (bespoke to your preferences) will be available on my website to purchase when I'm back 💐

This quote sums it up for me at the moment "sometimes the most productive thing you can do, is take a break"

Our mini dried flower wreaths are always well received at the fairs/markets. They are designed so the small posy of flowers can be removed and kept in a small bud vase as a keepsake, if the recipient wishes 🌼

Bespoke and made to order to your preferences.

After a little break from my fairs and markets, I'll be this Saturday and these mini beauties will be there too 🌼

Time for Change.

This will be my last pressed floral artwork as I make the change to focus solely on the floristry side of my business. Having some thinking time has helped clarify where my passion lies and I'm at my happiest utilising my floristry training. Sustainable, natural floristry will remain the heart of my business.

My handmade products will still be available to buy from my Folksy shop for now and my website will also be updated with my new services.

Exciting times ahead x

19/05/2024

The sun is shining and whilst I am taking a break from some of my upcoming events, I have continued to work behind the scenes, more so to keep my mind busy. My Folksy shop is now up and running, and you'll find these gorgeous dried flower greeting cards along with my other products on there. Shop link in bio. New products will continue to be added.

My website is still live and has been updated to showcase the services I currently offer. Again, link in bio.

Everyone enjoy their Sunday 💐

Out on a morning walk, finished off with a hot chocolate treat. I'll be taking a break from my small business over the next few weeks after sadly losing someone very close to me ❤. Sometimes we just need some time out and breathing space 🦋

A little update and Blog post 📫

Sadly, I've had to cancel the Spring Pressed Flowers workshop this month. As a small business, it's always disappointing when things don't go to plan and I was looking forward to sharing my knowledge with others. I'm not one to give up though and will now be working on making it an online course over the next couple of months.

Brings me on to my new blog post about not giving up, available to read in link below or via blog page on my website.

After a busy few months, I'll be taking some time out to spend with family this Easter 🐣 I'm looking forward to chilling on the sofa, snuggling up with a book, chocolate treats and staying off my socials. Whatever you have planned, have a lovely Easter break.

Pop-up Shop Update - due to family commitments this weekend, I will no longer be this Saturday. I enjoyed being there in February so will look to get another date back there soon.
