Just realised I never posted any pics of the oodles of wreaths that went out before Christmas - mostly door but lots of grave ones too, 1 heart shaped and 1 door swag! Didn’t take pics of all unfortunately as was so busy making 😊 thank you all for your orders x

Thank you to all who have supported my small business over the last year either by browsing (in store and online) purchasing, and liking or sharing my posts on social media!
Thank you also to everybody who has helped me along the way - family especially, friends old & new, wholesalers and fellow florists for support, advice and helping me out of the poo on occasion when I’ve miscounted or forgotten something too! 😆
I really do appreciate each and everyone of you and would like to wish you all a very happy new year, and I look forward to seeing you all again soon! Much love Donna xx

Think we’ve got you covered 🤔🤭🙈🤣

18/12/2024

Thank you for all your orders but the books are now closed for all bouquets, arrangements and grave wreaths.
(If we have spoken re grave wreaths/arrangements then you are on the list please don’t panic)

I will hopefully have some bouquets and arrangements made up for walk ins on Christmas Eve or before 🤞 but please call or message before coming on the off chance.

Have lots of potted plants, basket arrangements and other gifts still available in the meanwhile.

Thanks Donna 07739 040519 x

Morning! We still have a few door wreaths available and have started on grave wreaths this weekend too 🎄🌲🍁🍂🍃

Please can I ask that if we’ve arranged a collection time for items that you stick to that time - especially at this time of year as I will have booked other things in and around your slot so turning up a few hours early generally will be a wasted trip unless I’ve let you know otherwise.

Which leads me onto say please call me rather than message if you need a quick response or you’d like to come early as I’m not able to check messages very often at the minute due to being so busy - sometimes not even catching up til after 10pm. 📱☎️📞⏰🕰️🕯️

Pictures are mostly of what’s left already and of course my visit from the big man himself when he popped into the cafe for dinner with the children yesterday 🎅

Open 10-4 Tuesday - Monday 23rd
Christmas Eve 9-2pm
Closed Christmas Day - Wednesday 8th Jan inc.

I will however be doing some funeral work sadly inbetween should anybody require any special bouquets (Pre-orders only)
Merry Christmas Everybody x

12/12/2024

It’s been a busy couple of weeks here - hence me not posting a lot sorry.
Lots of wreaths have been going out and our final workshop of the year was held last Saturday at Doveridge Village Hall - Thank you to all the ladies who attended & did amazing jobs aswell as to all of my helpers on the day!
The first few pictures are of wreaths currently still available…I may make a few more after the last couple of commissions are hopefully finished later today! 🤞
Grave wreaths will be available from the middle of next week.
I’m close to closing my books for Christmas bouquet orders if you were pondering on ordering one…collections available up until 12pm on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas, Donna 💐

07/12/2024

Happy wet Saturday!
Just to say we’re open until 4pm,
I’m doing my final wreath workshop this afternoon in Doveridge (still spaces if anybody fancy’s having a go it’s not too late!) Matt and Harriet will be in the shop…
Lots of plant gifts available and wreaths too…
If you ordered a specific wreath I will message you as soon as it’s ready. Thank you x

05/12/2024

** Opening at the later time of 12pm today ☺️ thanks for understanding 😁 **

Lots of wreaths available and once caught up with orders will be making more…there’s still time to order grave wreaths but sadly I’m not taking anymore door wreath orders on.

Still have spaces on Saturdays Wreath workshop if you fancy having a go at making your own,
We use traditional moss and wire methods with a mixture of foliages and decorations.
Mulled wine, prosseco and seasonal treats included! 😋

Morning All, just a quick recap today as my heads full of wreaths and I can’t remember a lot of last week 😆
Some very sad funeral work went out for a young lady cruelly taken too soon,
Some lovely birthday bunches and lots of Christmas gift plants and of course wreaths!
And not forgetting a wonderful workshop with a lovely lot of mature ladies (and young!) at Highwood Court.

I still have spaces available on the final wreath workshop next Saturday, please DM if interested?

A small plea as a small business owner who paid to go to college and learn my trade to specifically run my own business & someone who really does do that ‘happy dance’ after each sale, if you are still looking for wreaths, swags or any other Christmas decor then please support your local independents. And I don’t just mean me ~ I’m more than happy to support other florists locally too ☺️
Im extremely grateful for all the people who tag me and put me forward along with many others but it deeply saddens me when I see the like of Window blind companies, DIY shops and the big supermarkets also being mentioned? Surely Blinds, Tools, decorating equipment and Food & drink are the things they excel at?? 🥺

01/12/2024

So more wreaths available today…after selling out yesterday 🤪 The favourite of the year so far seems to be my bespoke Mr Bobbin ☺️ (Pre-order only) I have a few commission orders to get finished this morning and then we’ll be back onto general making up! Please bear with…
A few pics of what we’ve got and what’s left the building so far….
We’ve also got some beautiful locally grown mistletoe available from today - full of berries!
Open 10-4pm xx

29/11/2024

Maybe a little late opening this morning due to having a delivery out of my local area, Apologies!
Also I’ll be out this afternoon doing a private workshop but will be leaving the shop in the very capable hands of Harriet and her trusty apprentice Matt! 😆

24/11/2024

The shop will remain closed today (Sunday 24th November) Apolgies for any inconvenience.

Back open Tuesday 10am,

Thank you, Donna x
