We have a shop!!

Tuesday 1st July 2025

What a difference a year makes!

Who’d have thought this time last year that we’d end up with a shop. Not just any shop but the most lovely flower shop in my home town of Chester le Street.

Things took a turn last year when markets became too much for both myself and Michael and with his recent diagnosis we felt that moving boxes of products on a weekend just wasn’t for us anymore. One day I was sat in the car outside the library with a delivery box of flowers on my knee, I looked at the shop in front of me and could see its potential there and then. Don’t get me wrong, it wasn’t an easy decision to make and right up until I signed I wondered if I was making the right decision but now I know I did.

The support from people around me has been nothing short of amazing with friends and family always offering to lend a hand. Customers have said how much we needed it and have had people throw their arms around me to thank me for bringing it to them.

I wanted to involve the community within the shop and have already held my first wreath workshop on the premises. We had a great night with lots of positive feedback and wonderful makes. More of them to come!

I also wanted to ensure other businesses had an opportunity to show their talents and so I have some amazingly talented folk on my shelves, including candle makers, jewellery, perfume, artists, pottery and books. This collection is growing all the time and will be available in store as well as online soon.

I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your support, custom, shares and just being fabulous! Long may it continue.

See you soon.
