Hopefully, this won't come as a surprise as I've spoken to a lot of you but the sign has come down and tomorrow is moving day!
We're heading into Scarborough for family reasons but sadly this means I'm having to say goodbye to my Thistledown flower patch. The outside space at the new place isn't big enough to run a business from so unfortunately, this means I won't be able to continue with Thistledown Flowers for the time being at least. 😞😢
However, there is some good news! I'm planning on working with the lovely Molly from to help her create a new patch over in Sawdon, so please follow her on Facebook or Instagram (do it now!) to keep up-to-date with our progress and hopefully she will have exciting news soon about signing up for subscription flowers for the 2025 season!
In the meantime, don't forget you can get lovely seasonal blooms from Jill she's at Wykeham Market every Friday or from Julie .flowers. or for further afield check out the website.

Finally, and most importantly, I'd like to say a massive thank you to each and every one of you for supporting my business over the last 4 and a half years. Whether it's a comment on my post or a chat on the phone, if I've been lucky enough to deliver a bouquet to you, ❤️💐 or for you, 😃 or if you have trusted me with your wedding or funeral flowers 🥰 every interaction has brought me so much joy. When his journey began and I never would have believed then that I could run my own business and that it could be successful and I have you all to thank for that. I don't like to think that I'm stopping, just that I'm pausing and getting ready for the next adventure.

Thank you a million times over 🥰🥰💐💐💐

Here's a couple of wrist corsages I created for Sophie and Harry's wedding earlier this month. I don't do many wrist corsages..... I'm not sure if they aren't so common or it's just me!? Personally, I think they are a lovely way to wear flowers, especially if you don't have a jacket to pin a buttonhole to..... would you wear one?? xx

I have a bunch of these medium-sized dried allium heads (I think there's 19 altogether) for sale. The bunch is £15 delivered locally or £12 if collected. They make a lovely decoration as they are but also can be used in autumn wreathes or spray-painted for Christmas decorations! Sorry if it's a bit soon to be talking about that! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 xx DM me if you'd like them 🙂 there's just this bunch!

Getting married or know someone who is? I have some bags (compostable of course 😃!) of naturally-dried flower petal confetti for sale.
This is a mixture of mostly rose petals with some statice, larkspur, honesty and a few other bits to add colour and texture which I dried last flower season.
The confetti is £1.50/bag or if you buy 5 or more it's £1 per bag. I can post it if required (just ask for postage costs)
I have 32 bags altogether 💐🙂 when they are gone they're gone!

P.s please note the colour in natural petals can stain if it gets wet.

It was such an honour to create this funeral wreath this week. The brief was to be seasonal and colourful and kind to the environment. This wreath was made with a moss-covered hazel base all gathered from our flower patch and the flowers were grown by me here in Snainton and tied on with jute twine so the whole wreath has no air miles and is fully compostable 💐💚 xx

It really is a family business! Getting the super team to help me pick tulips as the sunshine and warmth of the last couple of days has made them all ready at once! Sort of a wonderful "problem" to have though! 💐🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
