This Weeks Review

                             

A few new vintage items are making an appearance...this fab typewriter is in full working order, perfect for that novel you have always wanted to write! 

               

The colour pops have been showcasing well this week...These cute kiddies chairs with the lush green ferns and stunning mini orchids in 1950's green glass.

                

Or this turquoise dresser with white orchids and red peppers...the fallen from our fabulous plants we had in this week...they flew out the door. The lovely people of Hungerford sure adore their veggies!

                                   

The soft delicate tones for a beloved Nan

                                   

These gladioli could not have been any redder!

                                   

Someone has developed a love affair with the vintage rocking horse...{No we don't have any more space at home for him...sorry Auggy x}

The colour clash...oh how we have fallen for you. Orange, hot pinks, and reds, with a touch of purple. 

The only thing that would make it better is a deep red dahlia with her many petals!

                                        

Green, white and blue a classic! I wonder if Kate got and giant poppy heads in her bouquets?

Lush green is always a winner to the florist.

This week we had buckets full of British grown flowers arrive for a wedding....we have battled with another week of heat by having fresh flowers each day...Martin celebrated his Birthday with a huge chocolate cake, and a fabulous day off....we have rescued too many bumble bees....and consumed quite a few yummy ice creams!!

Happy Weekend!

bottle tops and books

ever ones for the quirky ....a basket of decanter stoppers....we like 'en masse' and at some point we will decide what on earth to do with all these!!
books are our great props...although we will sell them...but they are just great for display...giving a little height when needed and of course looking fabulous..we try to colour batch them.....
this gorgeous camellia was in some lovely foliage we got on saturday...we bought it for the lovely glossy leaves so the flowers were a bonus....
and the last of 'the drawers'..all planted up with herbs

last week

a few pictures from the shop

have a lovely relaxing Sunday..x

Views and News!

 Just to let you see whats just up the road from the shop......Hungerford Common, the most beautiful place, which looks an absolute picture at the moment with all the autumn colours, this was sunrise on Sunday morning...a heavy frost and slight mist hovering........It is the Shop Dogs favourite walk...truffling through the fallen leaves for lovely sniffs!!!

 And LOOK at we can do now....( its been a long time sorting this out, I mean how difficult can it be??)..we can send our gorgeous flowers anywhere in mainland  UK....next day delivery Tuesday to Friday, give us a ring if you want details or just pop in and we will sort it out for you...Hurrah!!

 a suitcase full of the first Jasmine of the season...delicious...and also the first hyacinth bulbs.....can it really be??

 buy in the pot or let us arrange them in a vintage container for you, this is a 1930's oval planter, white hyacinths and of course moss...we love it....the old whisky jars ( was that a song?) are left over from a wedding we did in the summer and we have just a few left...a bargain at £5 each and don't you think they would make a great stocking filler for the chaps??....add whisky of course!

 ......lastly, we are stockists of St Eval candles all handmade in Cornwall, we have stocked St Eval since the day we opened and they are a firm favorite, beautifully scented, long lasting and a great present.....

.....presents.....stocking fillers...whats going on???     x

we are undecided on the halloween window...
my attempt at making black ravens caused so much hilarity they got stuffed in the bin...we do however have lovely shaped gourds and mini pumpkins..
.for the rest of it you will have to watch this space!!

 ..in a moment of madness we went sunflower crazy.........................

 .....'lets fill the window with sunflowers' we say......50..? 100?.....lets go for 'en masse'.....150!!!. well its summer why not...
...arranged on a sort of Olympic Podium type affair, here they are in all there sunny glory.........
