September,already and the first month of two birthdays.

Today is the start of my Birthday Arrangement of Hope and I’d just like to say thank you for the orders already received and also for the generous donations.

This is not the arrangement just something autumnal to match the weather !!

Sometimes I have ideas and I’m never sure if it will work but this one definitely has so Thank You.

Arrangements can be ordered online or by telephone and a donation of £12.00 per sale will go to Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.

💚 Birthday Arrangement of Hope 💚

I am celebrating 2 milestone Birthdays,in September my 60th Birthday and in October,30 years in my flower shop.

I have decided to celebrate by giving something back. I’ve created this arrangement and for every sale I am going to make a donation to the Sir Bobby Robson Foundation.Donations will also be accepted in shop if preferred,however small everything will go to support life changing cancer research.

The arrangement will be available to buy online,in shop and available to order during September and October and is £40.00 of which I will donate £12.00 to the charity.

Thank you for reading and hopefully it will raise money for a good cause.

**I have promotional material and collection box in shop from Sir Bobby Robson Foundation and have permission to raise money for this charity.

For a reason I don’t know, I haven’t made many artificial arrangements lately but they seem to be quite popular along with artificial bouquets that are in stock.

One of today’s jobs was to get started on making some creations ready to go into shop.Slow progress but there’s always tomorrow 😊

A bit of radio silence in July!! Time has flown by and nearly August.

A busy month for lots of different occasions,sadly a lot of sympathy and funerals and below a deconstructed coffin spray off to the family to keep after the funeral.

The best thing this month was for a young couple who wanted a bouquet for a gender reveal and I had the joy of making a bouquet to reveal the gender to them at home………….a boy💚

That’s it for July, you were hot,hot,hot and a blur 😅

If gardening is your thing,there is an Open Garden Walk in Hunwick this Sunday, 10 gardens open for you to look at for ideas or like me realise I’m not very good at it 😉.

If you do go,call at Father Stewart’s and Colin’s at Woodbine House for some homemade cake, the garden is pretty impressive too.

All proceeds go to Hunwick Community Social and Environmental Group

Today is National Best Friend Day!

This a poem by a lady in our village,Poems by Elaine Armstrong give her page a follow, her poems are very relatable to everyday life.

When times or tough, when things get hard,
When the road has many bends,
You don't have to face it all alone,
Right behind you are your friends.
The people in your corner,
Who will listen to your cries,
And laugh with you through the happy times,
And help you celebrate the highs.
You might not see them every day,
But you know how much they care,
And when you need them, they drop everything,
In a heartbeat they are there.
The ones you laugh and cry with,
The one who supports everything you do,
And the ones who know you cherish them,
And know you're always there for them, too.
You've been through so much together,
On a journey that never ends,
The best companions, along for the ride,
Life's so much better with your friends.
Elaine Armstrong
