This design includes a glass storm lantern and pillar candle, ready to light and create that cosy feel at home or as a special gift.

The last wreath workshop of the year… Thank you for having me back for another year ! I also managed a quick browse around the shop - definitely worth popping in for bagging a few handmade and unique gifts and cards.

Today, we laughed, we felt our creative juices flow, we felt very festive and everyone made something special! Wild, natural, woodland inspired wreaths. No foam, no plastic,?just lots of fresh foliage with a sprinkle of dried florals…🤍🤎💚

Until next year!

If you missed out, there are a couple of spaces left on my Festive table centrepiece workshops on 19 and 21 December see my website to book.

Stay safe this weekend 🌿

It’s been a mega wreathing weekend with 3 workshops at - it seems 1 December is the prime time to trim up your house!

Our motto was to go large so we created statement wreaths with lush green foliage dotted with dried flowers, seed heads and foraged bits and bobs, all natural and not a single bit of plastic or floral foam in sight.

Go wild, go natural, go green! 💚

It was so nice to chat with everyone this weekend and create beautiful florals with you. It was a very mindful way to spend a weekend so thank you for choosing to join me this year.

I’ve got lots of ideas for workshop experiences for 2025 so sign up to my newsletter on my website and watch this space…

Hope you’re having a peaceful Sunday ###

Scented foliage, pine, bay, eucalyptus and dried thistle, cones and seed heads presented with a storm lantern and pillar candle set on a natural locally-sourced wood slice. Great as a thoughtful gift, or a treat for yourself. Vase and wood slice can be reused throughout the year…🌲

D R E A M Y… 💕

The hottest talking point of the weekend…my dried floral gift box in soft romantic textured blush pinks with a hint of green.

Hydrangeas can be tricky to dry so my tip is to cut them in October after a dry spell and stand in empty vases for a couple of weeks in a warm dimly lit room. Not all varieties dry well so feel free to experiment!

Another big question was, do you do weddings? The answer is yes I do, and I can provide fresh and/or dried florals for your wedding - either grown by me here in sunny Wakefield or sourced from other growers in the area. If you have specific colours in mind I can plan those into the growing year.

Another question I get asked a lot is…do dried flowers last forever? The answer is not really but they will last many years if kept indoors, out of direct sunlight or damp conditions, they just gradually fade over time. If they get dusty, blow them with a hair dryer on a low setting.

Any other questions, get in touch!

H A P P Y 💛

Wow, what a weekend!!

It was so lovely to chat to so many people over the weekend at the festive market. I saw so many familiar faces, caught up with old pals, connected with customers old and new, chatted with other makers and admired their skill and creativity…this is what it’s all about!

I found out many things this weekend…

• People like joyful colours 💛
• Drying flowers is a skill to be shared
• Provenance matters
• Nostalgic flowers bring joy
• The creative community is awesome…

I loved sharing some of the highs (and lows) of growing your own flowers, the pure joy of hydrangeas, the simple magical beauty of honesty (Lunaria) and how certain flowers connect us to our past.

A big shout out to the team and event partner and to my fab neighbours for the weekend, and - it was a pleasure to meet you all. A huge thank you to everyone who came out in the rain and supported all the makers and small businesses too!

One of my bestselling festive gifts, the delicate glass baubles are hand filled with British flowers, grasses and petals. Choose from metals creams and white, cornflower blues, bright pinks, or yellows with blue.

The best thing about working with couples on their wedding flowers is finding out the brief, creating a mood board and sourcing the perfect flowers & foliage. This wedding had a beautiful wintery colour palette which worked brilliantly with the venue decor and brought together the whole wedding style.

Winter weddings don’t have to be white, they can be of course but there are lots of options to explore. Get in touch for a free wedding consultation for 2025/6 dates.
