I thought I’d have a go at something a bit different this week. Schools are finished for the summer term and this might be a nice little project to keep the kids busy with…. Step One: Roll your ball of modeling clay out and use the cookie cutter to cut out circle. Obviously make sure…
It has been a while since I’ve blogged but I wanted to give you a round up of summer weddings so far, can you believe its August next week? I’ll start with one of my favourites because it includes coral charm peonies…. We’ve certainly done a lot of classic white bridal bouquets this year which…
As we come towards to the end of our wedding season it felt only right to celebrate all the locally grown flowers we have been able to use in our designs and also introduce you to our lovely friend Vanessa. We’ve been buying flowers from Vanessa at Foxglove garden for a number of years, she…
