A week looking forward

Monday

A rather lovely email popped into our in-box from one of our Groom's. He wanted to send a bouquet of flowers to his wife for their 1st year anniversary. He sent us a rather gorgeous photo which I couldn't possibly show you because it might just spoil the surprise. We are going to replicate her bridal bouquet ~ what a thoughtful Husband!

Tuesday

Tuesday is the day for stocking Hartley Farm-shop up with fabulous flowers. We have a rather marvellous stand on the way in to the farm-shop where you can pick & choose your chosen flowers.










Wednesday

It's been a week of birthday bouquets! We had an order from New Zealand, one of our Brides wanted to send flowers to her Mum in Bradford-on-Avon and that I guess is the joy of technology.Do remember you can always order online if your not able to pop into the shop.










Thursday

Thursday is always delivery day for flowers to Newton Farm-shop. We have now been selling flowers there for the last couple of months and its going to extremely well! So if you are in their neighbourhood and want to treat yourself to some yummy flowers, you know what to do.










Friday

Is wedding prep day. From table-centre's to thank-you bouquets. There is always a whole host of lovely flowers to arrange! Both the Shop & workshop are normally full to the brim of different creations. One thing I love about my job is that no two weddings are the same!









Saturday

Weekends are always meeting time for us at this point in the year. And this week is no exception, from a couple getting married on the 31st December at the ever gorgeous Homewood park hotel to a lovey summery wedding at the delightful Wick Farm. We always have coffee together in the Farm-shop, chatting about the wedding. Deciding on colours, browsing through our portfolios and seeing what the possibilities are.









Sunday

Sunday is most certainly the day for collapsing in a heap! Whether it's having a roast with friends at one of our favourite pubs or hanging out here on a Sunday morning! It's definitely a day for taking it easy!

Treats are a girls best friend

A rather delicious Young Blooms table centre

Well, as we have already done the first week back to work I wonder how its been for you??
I think we have both found that treats have been the way to get through for us!! This involved having nice massages, buying a copy of this months Country Living, & having nice coffee at the Fat Fowl in Bradford and as a reward for clearing the house and workshop of Christmas leftovers, I filled it with our beautiful fresh flowers.
It's also been a week for planning & looking at the year to come. We are both excited because following the success of our Christmas wreath workshops, we are planning more workshops later in the year -  dates and details are being firmed up so we will let you know once they are confirmed.


Valentines Day & Mother's Day surprises are both in the bag as well so look out for the delicious designs that will be filling our workshop!!


Weekly arrival from the Isles of Scilly


We have begun getting our weekly delivery of scented Narcissus from the Isles of Scilly - they are certainly good for the soul when its tipping down with rain, so do come and pick some up at Hartley Farmshop as they are on special offer for a limited time.


Wherever you are, make sure to treat yourself this week!!
