Lilys Of The Valley

29/11/2021

So sorry my lovelies! Yesterday completely ran away with me. The last of the wreaths are below, if you'd like one please comment - first come, first served. Delivery in Wi******er, Chandlers Ford and Eastleigh for £3 extra or it can be collected from central Eastleigh. I have a couple of silver wreath hangers left for £3 but please note these only fit composite doors.

**SOLD**All that glitters is gold - 'Merry Christmas' Gold gonk -

Simply red - 'Merry Christmas' Red gonk - £22

Green (and gold) with envy - white poinsettia, feathers, velvet leaves, frosted pinecones, gold accents - £25 - approx 16 inches diameter

**SOLD**Silver linings - white roses, feathers, frosted pine cones, silver accents - approx 17 inches diameter

Please be aware that real feathers have been used on these wreaths so do go careful if you have an allergy! Heavy accents have been attached using floristry wire so they should fare better than the hot glue wreaths available in the shops.

Sadly I will not be making any more wreaths this season but I'm planning to have a small offering for spring and Easter so watch this space!

Merry Christmas 🎄

*ALL SOLD* Hello my lovelies - I know it's early but I'm sure a few of you are already thinking about the 'C' word!🌲As promised, here are the first 3 festive wreaths up for grabs - I will be making a few more if there is enough interest but they will not be the same as these as I only had 3 of these bases. They're approximately 15 inches (38cm) diameter (give or take a little for rogue flowers/foliage.)

**SOLD** 3 - White, gold, stars - £25, includes local delivery as below

I will be hand-delivering these within Eastleigh, Wi******er or Chandler's Ford or they can be collected from Eastleigh for £22 rather than £25

I am also selling wreath hangers (as pictured) however please note that these do not fit traditional PVC doors. They do however fit composite doors as shown. These are an additional £3.

If you would like to purchase any of these, please comment below. If not, any feedback would be great - this is my first time dabbling in artificial flowers so I'd love to hear your thoughts (good and bad!)

Hello my lovelies. It's been such a long time (again...) - so sorry, time seems to be absolutely flying. I've been working away in the background and I have some exciting news (I hope you'll agree...) I'll be offering faux door wreaths for autumn/Christmas this year. Sadly I won't be able to take on commissions but these will be offered on a first come first served basis and each will be completely unique. This is not something I've done before so please bare with me - I'll be aiming to post the first batch over the coming weeks. If you see this post I'd really appreciate it if you could comment or like so I know you've seen me and you haven't forgotten about me! ❤️

Peonies - £18 for 10 stems, wrapped in brown paper. The price of peonies has skyrocketed as we're at the end of the season. They're opening - so you can enjoy them sooner.

**HELP NEEDED PLEASE**

Hello my lovelies! It's been a while and I hope you're all doing well. Sadly I haven't been able to manage the business and my full time job in the way I'd hoped - unfortunately the perishable nature of flowers would mean 3am starts every day (I like mornings, but not that much!) That being said, I would really like to start this little venture again in some capacity - this is where I need your help please. I've had a few ideas that would be easier to manage around my full time job but I need your feedback around if you'd still be interested in buying from me so I can get the ball rolling (or not!) Any other ideas are more than welcome too...

- Faux arrangements
- Faux door wreaths (including Christmas)
- Houseplants with decorative pots
- Seasonal flowers wrapped in brown paper delivered one evening a week (day TBC) for you to arrange yourself at home.
- First come first served arrangements posted on here once a week

All feedback is welcome! Thanks so much, Lily x

Morning lovelies. I have these outstanding 'noble red star' lillies available for delivery in Wi******er, Chandlers Ford or Eastleigh this evening. They're new in and truly outstanding - even the wholesaler couldn't help but comment that lillies truly do not come better than these beauties!

Please note: the vase photo is not mine but gives you an idea of how these will look when they're open - they will be delivered to you in bud.

**HYDRANGEA HELP - CARE TIPS**

Did you know it's very common for hydrangeas (especially giant) to wilt within the first couple of days of being cut? They're not dead...just thirsty! Their woody stems get clogged with 'sap' that stops water travelling to their heads. Here's how you can help your little hydrangea friends!

1. Either cut off an inch of stem (diagonally) and carefully slit through the middle by another half an inch or use a hammer to crush the bottom inch. Place in boiling water for 30 seconds then transfer to your vase.

2. Pop the hydrangeas head down into a cool bath for up to 24 hours

Ta-dah! Your hydrangeas will be happy and hydrated and will bounce back within 24 hours.

Ensure you change your water every day to keep them looking as fresh as possible. Leave to naturally dry out in the vase to enjoy your blooms for longer (late season hydrangeas cut between August - October work best for this!)

I'm planning to bring you some facts and tips every Friday from now on to help you make the most of your flowers 😊
