Lovely Leonora

Leonora is my newest creation...she is a soft and gentle beauty. She has stunning French beaded daisies, intertwined with vintage crystal, jewellery, buttons and millinery flowers...off white...sparkling....

....Love Me, Love me Not....

She is a true Parisian charmer... sophisticated & a true classic.

She is now available in my shop

It feels good to be back, however it will be a slow start, I plan to gently get back into the swing of things this year...Life has taken such a different pace since having August....it can be such a whirlwind being a Mama!

Buttonholes a Plenty

Well we don't want the boys missing out do we?

Powder Blue

Matching buttonhole to join Belle on their journey over the vast ocean to South Africa, for a new years eve wedding....how amazing is that?

I sometimes wish i got to go to all the wonderful place my bouquets go too!

Life at VM has been so busy of late...August is still keeping me on my toes with teething at the moment. I can normally be found looking slightly frazzled walking a baby around Hungerford trying to get him asleep! The fun of being a Mummy. 

We also moved into a lovely big house...its bliss, but i do not advise to move with a 6 month old with 10 days notice...that is just silly :)

However it is still the best job I have ever had! He is a real cracker, and keeps us all laughing....

As you can see he wants to be a pirate when he grows up...

...Adorable

Two Fantastically Wonderful Years

Life...

Annabel over at Love my Dress is touching on a subject which is close to my heart today.

As I sit here jiggling a gorgeous 5 month old baby boy on my lap, it seems like a lifetime ago since I went through this. In fact I really dont recognise the girl that was in that toxic relationship. It however taught me my life's greatest lesson and will be forever thankful for that.

'You cannot change anyone but yourself.'

It will be the hardest thing you will ever do to leave, but also the greatest.

Here is my orginal post 

Thank you Annabel for posting so wonderfully about a secretive and not talked about enough topic

Blonde Beauty

She shimmers and sparkles like a professional...she has subtle hues of champagne and gold...

pearls, and crystals adorn her...if she was a woman she would be a 1950's film star...

Maybe she would have been Marilyn's cup of tea? I like to think so

My wonderful bride had this to say...

"I just wanted to say a massive thank you for my beautiful creations.

I could not love her more! Absolutely gorgeous!

Every time I look at her I find something else I love about it!

They are even more beautiful in the flesh!"

 I think Marilyn would have been the same...even more gorgeous and delicate in the flesh.

Ohhh I love my stunning brides, their inspiration and creating these beauties for them!

Finding Inspiration

Being a Mummy is the best job in the world....however I am really missing creating beautiful bouquets.

I have just finished my last bespoke order of the year, and I have loved every minute of making it.

I have been looking back at my work, and I had forgotten about this beauty....I love the soft colours, feathers and those stunning mother of pearl buttons.

My shop is calling me to fill it, now I just to find some time in between feeds, playing and being like a love sick school girl!

Devoted Love

I saw this article this morning and it moved me to tears. I defy anyone not to be touched by his story.

True Love is such a beautiful endless thing. I'm sure his wife sits on a cloud with a full heart, waiting for her moment to hug him once more.
