Lovely view on my mornings walk with my boy! Yesterday, we saw two deer... It's nice living in the countryside!
1st June
At last i've had a minute to do some updates on our website... well actually it takes me ages cause im really not very good at it!!
30th May
Well I can't believe where the time has flown again... we have been busy bee's! This week I took Han away for a few days to France in the half term, but just had to pop into a few flower shops! It's always good to keep your eyes open for new ideas, products, ways of presenting things... we saw some lovely shops - not just florist, but lots of interesting homeware shops too...
I dont seem to get much time for a proper holiday, so this year I I took Han & myself off to Barcelona for a few days.. thought you may like these pix!
We didn't manage to see any flower shops (well actually there was one but I wasn't allowed in!!!), but did manage to find the flower market (above) on La Rambas plus lots of living statues, so we just had to get a photo of Barc Flower Ben!
Also well worth a visit is the main food market - I think we definately have something to learn about presentation!
Gaudi's work is renowned in Barcelona and I was amazed to see how much of it was inspired by nature and living things. I would love to go back to Barcelona one day to visit a few more places that we just didn't have time to see or see properly. What do you think!! I especially love the tree like formation of the pillars towering like branches in the unfinished Cathedral (below right) !! Awesome...
20th March
Yay, our books arrived today at lunchtime - so mad rush now to get all of our orders packed up and out before the post office closes.. if you have ordered a copy, Thank you - it should arrive soon depending on the Easter postal deliveries!! We hope that you like it.. Have a lovely Easter.
29th February
Our new book, Wedding bouquets for Spring is well on it's way - and will be available soon. We like printing locally - as well as helping with low air miles, printing on paper from a sustainable source... but the added advantage that we can watch some of it being printed!! It may be more expensive short term than having it printed in some far away place.. but the more we can all do long term.. the better. Click here for some pix of some of the printing process!
