Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes…the last three years have absolutely flown by! Here are this week’s highlights.
My week
Three lovely evening outings…
Design Bloggers Christmas Drinks : Lovely to catch up with Kate from Fabric of My Life, Carole from Heart Home, Will from Bright Bazaar, Zoe from My Interior Stylist, Daniel from Atelier Tally, Lucy from Decor Envy, Geraldine from Little Big Bell, Mary-Ellen from HOP Interiors and Amy from Daisy Fay.
Made.com Blogger Workshop on Photography : Great photography hints and tips from Josh Kearns, SEO advice for images from Tom at Made.com and a Social Media overview from Hannah at Made.com.
Press Event for International Poinsettia Day on December 12th : Such a great evening at Neill Strain‘s boutique in Belgravia in London. To celebrate this special day, Neill had created a 12 ft high star, decorated with hundreds of poinsettias in different colours. And passers-by had been captured in front of this festive backdrop, with the photos being uploaded onto Facebook throughout the day. Below is a picture of Neill and I.
I was very fortunate to receive these stunning Paper Whites from Scented Narcissi on the Isles of Scilly. They’ve been filling our kitchen with their heavenly scent.
And I was delighted to see my article about styles of bridal bouquets in the new Jan/Feb 2014 issue of Wedding Flowers & Accessories magazine.
