#myshoplife Day 8 and Day 9 | Work Threads & Fave Shop Neighbour | My work threads at the moment are consisting of my beloved Steelies and paint splattered leggings.... I'll be back in my nice green pinny soon though... and as for my fave neighbour? Well it has to be @flothecoffeevan doesn't it? 😉 . #myshoplife2018 #florist #isleofman #iom #newchapter #flothecoffeevan #florencetheflowervan #neighbours

**SALE** in preparation for our move this week we are downsizing our stock of glass vases... come and grab a bargain for as little as £2!! (The bears are half price too £6 🐻)

Yes that's right... the next week or so at The Flower Studio is going to be a little hectic as we prepare to move 9 years worth of shop to our beautiful new premises! So please bear with us and all will be revealed very very soon 😍 . #isleofmanwedding #isleofman #iom #isleofmanflorist #goodfloristguide #newchapter #adventure

#myshoplife Day 6 | Inspiration and Influences | ok this was a tricky one... . 🍁 Surrounding Nature... living on the Isle of Man provides me with so much inspiration... the colours of the autumn trees, broken branches after a storm (yes I will go climbing in the hedges if I spot a good one!) other people's gardens, the colours of the heather and gorse on the hillside... . 👱‍♀️ My daughter.... sometimes looking through the eyes of a child gives you a completely different view on something... although if she had her way, all my work would be pink, glittery and include unicorns 🦄 . 💐 other designers... it is important that you can take inspiration from other designers without copying them. I have been lucky enough to attend workshops with internationally renowned designers such as Gregor Lersch, Joseph Massie and Pim van dem Akker, to learn their techniques and it is fascinating, but as a designer I then translate those techniques into my own style. . 🌹 the flowers themselves.... each one individually created, no two the same, you have to obey how they want to behave sometimes.. be inspired by the twist of a stem, the wide open petals, the unusual colours. . 🛋 old stuff... I love anything that has a story behind it... an old piece of furniture, a postcard, a vase... it tells a story. Even the Victorian Language of flowers, which was developed before a lot of people could read and write... the romantic history behind anything like that really gets me. . #myshoplife2018 #history #nature #designerflorist #isleofman #goodfloristguide #isleofmanflorist

#myshoplife Day 4 | Shopping Bags | One thing is for certain, you won't find any plastic bags in The Flower Studio! ⠀ .⠀ Since we first opened in 2009 we have only offered our customers paper bags for their purchases and in January 2018 we took one step further to reducing our impact on the environment by reducing our total use of plastic by two thirds. ⠀ .⠀ There are times we still need to use polypropolene wrap (aka cello, although it's not really, as the real deal may be biodegradable but isn't watertight - believe me, we tested it!) but we now try and educate our customers on which parts of our packaging can be reused or recycled. ⠀ .⠀ #myshoplife2018 #shoppingbags #isleofman #iom #noplastic #ecoflorist #environment #goodfloristguide #saynotoplastic
