how cute are these little beauties - they are so cute, and the children adore them. Decorating our new little white trees in the shop, they are truly perfect!

Mossed door wreaths - gorgeous, just beautifully simple

Well with Christmas just over 6 weeks away, we have put away the pumpkins, tidied away the cream and pink wedding ribbons (until next spring) and are getting out the christmas flowers and sparkly bits that are looking good in the shop right now. Check out our latest newsletter regarding new opening times for December and a catch up on what has been happening in the shop.

bulbs in November....

a little early i may hear you say... but the hyacinth bulbs were available a few weeks ago and we held off buying until now. They are great potted up in just about anything, mossed over with some fluffy green carpet moss. They make great long lasting gifts and look pretty sitting just about anywhere. We have ours potted up in reclaimed wooden boxes and zinc.

seasonal door wreaths

it really doesn't have to be christmas to enjoy a seasonal wreath on your front (or back, side, porch) door. Today we created a gorgeous wreath of vintage pink hydrangeas and roses, scabiosa bitterball heads, aliums and berried ivy. The results are just lovely on a gorgeous sunny day like this. We are offering these in various sizes (10" up to 16") and you can just choose your colours to match the door!

table decorations for the children...

Wednesday and Thursday saw us at the shop with children aged between 4 and 11. The girls really enjoyed the table decoration class session. They cut their foliage, soaked the oasis, and started to create their masterpeices! The results were brilliant and all those who attended did a wonderful job. We finished off the afternoon with cookie decorating - not sure how many left the shop uneaten!

sunflowers

not sure if i really like them, but they seem to cheer people up when they come in and look at them! i shall give them a try and see if it makes the customers smile...

What did we get in today...

The sun was shining through the picture windows of the little shop. Couldn't resist getting the camera out and taking a pic of this gorgeous red hanging amaranthus. Looks perfect on it's own - i love it!

and some gorgeous little candles in the shop, we have more coming as stocks are running low! provence scented candles in beautifully wrapped lilac paper - the perfect gift (for yourself perhaps).
