Pink Mixing Bowl

I was set a challenge this week to make a flower arrangement using a lovely pink mixing bowl from Cath Kidston. It was a gift that my customer wanted to give her cake making friend, but she felt it needed something extra. So I added these matching pink gerberas and carnations into the mixing bowl - the result is good enough to eat! I think I may have found a new gift line to add to my catalogue. 

Spring Blossom in my garden

I have resorted to picking some spring blossom from my garden this week to make some flower arrangements, as my supplier has been effected by the volcano disrupting the distribution of flowers in the UK.

It hasn't stopped me from being creative and I love the sense of satisfaction from making things using the flowers which have grown in my own garden. 

My easter table design

Decided that I liked the arrangement I made for my friend so much, that I would make one with white roses for my easter table. It is nice to have fresh flowers in your home when you are having lots of visitors and this was perfect - lots of compliments from people and also another commission so great!

My two little easter chicks

My two little chickens collecting easter eggs from the easter bunny. After the excitement of collecting lots of chocolate my daughter had to give her brother a celebratory kiss! I think he had just given her a favourite Lindt easter bunny that he found - sweet.

We then spent the afternoon at Cliveden and had a walk round the grounds and gardens. The National Trust had set up an easter trial for the children. It was a shame that the glorious magnolia trees, bluebells and not all the daffodils were out yet but because we had a very cold winter there blooming season has been delayed by a few weeks. We ended the day with rolly- pollys down the hills in the gardens of Cliveden - what a grand day.

Commission for an Easter Table

More delightful creations made with roses for a friends easter party and she wanted pink roses as a centrepiece. This big goldfish bowl is so versatile you can put flowers around the top, bend them inside the bowl or just float the flowerheads inside.
