Hi all thank you for all your wonderful support. Time for me to focus on my little boy and enjoy this time. I can come back to garlands at any time but right now I need to prioritise my time elsewhere. Thank you again.

Something coming up for a very special event. Double and triple braiding.

One of the last few garlands I will do this year before I start on Christmas projects.
A special garland for a special charity event.

A custom order for a special bedroom. Unicorn lights. Tiny stars, pearlised trees , and the rest. A little bit of magic for a special little girl. ✨✨
Pricing depends on the style and size. Each is custom made and a price guide would be 300 to 500 aus dollars. More for larger pieces. Thanks

The back side of a garland. Blues whites and golds.

The start of home and events range.

06/04/2023

First one finished. For above the bed head or for of the bed. Fully backed and detailed. Fittings at the back for attachment to a wall or base of a bed. This is a single bed to king single. Different lights and times of day brought out the different colours. Lights create a night light effect. This one is now complete. The next is a pink white and gold unicorn theme. Straighter cuts or custom shapes available. For walls of events. This one has a bejeweled unicorn in the front. Any style can be made, but this would suit a unicorn loving child in their room. The next one is cut and beginning this week. The start of a home collection for young and old. ✨✨

Not an equestrian garland, something else for a unicorn lovers bedroom. The start of many. ✨

SA bound for Easter. A bit of fun

In between orders I have been making a few pieces. They are now for sale. They are all including the new adjustable fittings. There are two pony garlands and the beautiful scallops will be a very grand hack garland. Each will fit a horse of a fine build or a solid hunter. All of my work now includes these adjustments as standard. Lights etc all included. The hack garland I have some beautiful colours in mind. These are now for sale. The two ponies are ready to go this week if needed and the hack I’m starting on the flowers this week. It is rare that I ever have stock so please reach out if these are of interest to you.

This is the back. Precise measurements and new details.

07/02/2023

Today new bases are cut. A new design with features that are standard in all of my garlands are starting. I look forward to showing you the two that are coming along. Below Is my updated description From my website. Thank you to all those who messaged recently and sent lovely photos. It’s a joy to be doing these again and I plan to continue making these pieces for many years to come.

Garland description
The garlands I make are always made with the winner in mind. The cost of getting to a show and producing a horse within a team or an individual takes a lot of effort and passion.

I want the winners to go home with something that reflected that level of work. So these pieces are very much from the heart and made with the knowledge of what goes into producing a champion.

Each garland i make is custom made with the client or committee and no two are ever alike. A colour scheme of course can be followed for a set but each garland is handmade and therefore a one off.

The most premium of materials are used from the fabric base through to the flowers which are floristry grade and often hand painted if required. I source all details myself to make sure each piece is unique and striking.

The garlands can be made from miniature size through to large hunters. I use a premium sateen/ embellished upholstery fabric , which I source for each order and prefer this over satin to reduce slipping during the lap of honour. Lights and all embellishments are included. The back is detailed and finished with a satin braid to match the colour scheme. Extra d rings are now standard in all garlands available to allow them to be adjusted to fit finer types if required with a wither clip included. These details are all discussed with the client to ensure the perfect garland. My specialty is that I work very one on one with the client or committee. All extra requirements can be discussed and all included in the price. Be assured , what you will receive will impress any winner and sponsor Alike.
