Walking in a Winter Window Land!


In goes the christmas window, simple and stunning...or so we like to think!
The orders are coming in now and we've got wreaths up on the walls. All we need now is 'thats what I call christmas vol 788' to be dropped into the cd player. I've got mistletoe and wine in my head already, I guess thats one of the reasons that people hate this time of year ;)
Edinburgh is cold cold cold today, but thankfully dry and not too breezy. The shop is busy and lunch is almost cooked.
We'll be back with pics of the wreaths next week!

Winter Hues




It's that time of year again. After weeks of moaning at other high street shops for bringing out the Tinsel in October we're having to start thinking about the silly season ourselves.




The shop is already filling up with pussy willow, contorted willow, salix and skimmias. Pinks and blues are transforming into deep reds and burnt oranges and Ilex Berry has been spotted on the flower trucks! As much as we hate the cold we love the changing season and the new flowers it brings.




All of us are starting to look a little bulky with extra layers and gloves and even the dog seems reluctant to shed any more hair than she has to - yay!
