As we head into week three of lockdown here in the uk, I wanted to share a bit of the fun I’ve been having getting stuck into macrame. You can click here to find out a bit of the history of this knot-tying craft, its incredible really as its been around possibly since the third…
This is certainly an interesting topic to write about at an interesting time. Outside the sun is shining and it feels like Spring is very much here and yet last night our Prime Minster announced that we are now only advised/allowed to go out of the house three times a day! So my thinking is,…
I wanted to share more about the floral archway workshop that happened this month. A group of seven florists gathered with me at Emmanuels yard in Trowbridge to learn how to create an free-standing archway using no floral foam. The weather was utterly glorious and the sunshine was out as we started construction. It…

Gathering together with a group of local wedding vendors was a fantastic experience. I’ve worked with Jackie from Fox and Beau Photography on a number of occasions and love her work. We had a brain-storm session back in the summer and talked about creating this shoot, with the aim of celebrating Critchill Manor as an…
This has been the Summer of flower-crown workshops here at Young Blooms. We traveled to lovely clamping sites, town-houses in Bath and some rather gorgeous cottages where we’ve taught how-to’s on the art of the flower-crown making. It’s always fun to meet groups as they arrive, some have done flower crown making before and some…
