I met the lovely Poppy Treffry at the Country Living Fair last November in London. Her stand immediately drew me in…and upon talking to her, I found out that she comes from my part of the world, the southwest of England…in particular Cornwall. (I’m from the neighbouring county of Devon.)

Beautiful floral cards from STOP THE CLOCK Design

January 5, 2011 By Rona 6 Comments

I always have a stash of cards at home, ranging from Birthday to Thank You cards.

Last year, I came across STOP THE CLOCK Design cards in a local gift shop and of course, being a fan of all things floral, was instantly drawn to them!
