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.

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!

December is nearly here and at The Flower Studio we are well on the way to Christmas!

I am always torn between the different styles of Christmas… I am a traditionalist at heart and last year, although I was tempted to decorate my tree with peacock feathers, teal coloured ribbons and purple baubles, I couldn’t leave all my pretty, handmade (and some very old) red and gold decorations in the box.

I love cinnamon and dried orange and everything that looks back at good old fashioned festivities, but still like to add a good helping of glitter and sparkles!  In the next couple of posts I am going to share some of my favourites from this year’s Christmas stock and let you decide your favourite!

 

 

The above candle arrangement is easy peasy to make and in the next week or so I will show you how to create it yourself!  And if you want to try your hand at making some more Christmas arrangements including wreaths, swags and table centres, there is still space on all of our Christmas workshops. 

In the next post, I will share some of the silver & sparkle that is in the shop.
