The 'C' word

I know it's a tad early...However I know how excited you all get about our Christmas (there I said it!) wreath course, so we are offering two dates this year.

Do you fancy making your door wreath? or a fabulous floral table wreath?

We will give you a tutorial on both and you can decide which you would like to have a go at. 

We hope you are able to join us and surround yourself with floral beauty & lots of festive cheer!

If you are interested please feel free to phone us on; 01488 681062

Our Week in Photos

This week started with cool temperatures, the plant man offering us tempting autumn offerings of delicate Violas and stunning English Cyclamen.

Vintage jelly molds, zinc, & Beswick all make the plants come to life. The perfect gift.

Our very own Dutch master, Martin, showed some lovely ladies the beauty of an old dutch master piece ...the hidden symbols, seasons, and fun of recreating one of these divine arrangements.

In the simmering heat we had an Autumn wedding....our Bride was hoping for a cool crisp day, turning leaves,  reds and oranges, & a roast dinner....the one thing that cannot be organisered? The weather!! It was a scorcher!

A cake to die for...

Hollowed out gourds, with tea lights were such a sweet touch.

Ohhh, piano Friedland rose we love you!

Buttonhole bliss

Hungerford Town Hall was all dressed up too!

The newest member of the Martin & the Magpie team is growing nicely....

And finally the floor got a must needed paint....just look at the difference!

We hope your weekend was filled with fun & sunshine
