What a lovely selection of goodies we have for you all. Finally our long awaited BLUEBELL GRAY cushions and shopper bags have arrived. We couldn’t resist Fi Douglas’s new collection of beautiful hand painted watercolour designs on linen. Check out her range in this months ‘Elle Decoration’ and ‘Living Etc’ and you’ll understand why we were in a frenzy to get her product into R&R. Lookout for designs in Anemone, Harebell, Poppy and Red Rose. Stunning!
We have been treated to the scents of Frangipani and Orange Blossom, Lilac Rose and Geranium from our new line of scented gifts from ABAHNA. We love their dedication to using only plants grown without chemicals and no nasties in their products. No wonder this brand is a firm favourite to members of the British Royal Family and Hollywood Celebrities.
As well we have new cards, floral wrapping paper, spring flowers and gifts and accessories for your home and garden.

Finally our NEW SPRING COURSES are here! (Hurrah we have lift off)
We have some amazing new courses for you to try this spring. We’ve been inspired by all areas of interest such as Valentines and Mothers day so have created some lovely courses that you can attend learning all there is to know about working with flowers and seasonal foliage using baskets and vases and much more.
I know my mother would love to attend the ‘Flowers with Mum’ course. We thought what a great way to spend time making arrangements with each other, as a special treat were offering a special price of £85 for two people! spaces are limited so hurry !!!
Also what I’ve really been looking forward to is our ‘Creative Design’ workshop focusing on designing large displays for events and functions. Great if you know anyone getting married and your helping out with the floral arrangements, for whatever reason this is the course to come on. You will learn how to create the most stunning displays for home or anywhere. no-one will believe you’ve made it yourself!
…….then we have cool ‘Easter Gift Wrapping’ course with the lovely Jane Means another ‘well worth it’ course if you want to know how to wrap awkward shaped pressies using every day materials.
I’ve always fancied keeping Bee’s well now is my chance to see if I would be any good as we have now finalised a date with local apiarist Sue Bird who is going to go through all this with us on her course in March.
Pop in or phone us for quick and easy bookings. You can download the full timetable from our School Page.
See you soon x
