A little treat for you….

… and a big challenge for me!

The reason I started writing this blog is I wanted to share some of the exciting and beautiful things in The Flower Studio with you lovely people far and wide… I had the pleasure of meeting a Californian lady who came into the shop to tell me how she enjoys reading Alright Petal? all the way over in the U.S. (*blush*).  So when I came across this article about Project 365, I thought I would give it a go.

My topic to blog about is, surprise surprise, going to be flowers and I will aim to take a photo each day in 2012 of different blooms in The Flower Studio, bringing you some of my favourites and showcasing some of the new and more interesting varieties that we stock.

The main reason I have chosen to take up this challenge, apart from to try and improve my blogging skills, is because I love flowers. Love them.  Possibly in a slightly geeky way…

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 

On behalf of the team here at The Flower Studio, I would like to wish all of our customers and friends a fabulous Christmas and prosperous New Year and thank you all for your support and custom in 2011.  Have a safe and happy holiday!  Heidi x

 

Puppy Love

Last week I was invited to a few of my clients’ houses to help with their Christmas decorations and I have to say, I quite enjoyed working in a nice warm living room compared to the somewhat cooler environment of the Flower Studio!

Mantelpiece garlands really create a focal point for the room and can be co-ordinated to match your Christmas tree, which is what Ann asked me to do with hers.

An antique clock that used to belong to her Grandmother was in the centre of the display and I used cinnamon, pine cones and gold twigs to decorate the holly and fir swag.

This home visit was made extra special though because I had the cutest little assistant… a 9 week old black labrador puppy called Louis….

He was quite an enthusiastic designer, experimenting (chewing) with the cinnamon sticks and holly (ouch!) but I managed to convince him that the plastic bottle didn’t quite fit the colour scheme!

Don’t worry though McVitie… you will always be my number 1 ♥

Christmas is coming….

… and at The Flower Studio we have an amazing collection of delightful decorations and festive floral designs to help you deck your halls and homes this Christmas.

From glittery decorations and floral accessories, to scented cinnamon sticks and sliced oranges, and our own Flower Studio Christmas Pot Pourri, there is something to suit all tastes.

We are also delivering our Christmas Collection right up to Christmas Eve, so call us today to order the perfect gift for your loved ones.  And if you can’t decide which gift to order, we also have Gift Vouchers and Gift Cards available to spend in store or online.

We still have spaces left on our Christmas Workshops in case you want to come and join us to make your own wreaths, table centrepieces and festive swags.

Sparkle & Ice

Following on from Berry Beautiful, this is my other choice of Christmas decor.  I love the frostiness of blues and silvers and my knees go all wobbly at the sight of iridescent glitter!

So here are a few more photos of what’s in the shop…

 

And the exciting news is that our brand new online shop is nearly ready, so if you can’t make it down to Tynwald Mills to come and see us in person, you will soon be able to order our beautiful Christmas designs from the comfort of your own sofa!
