Wreaths in the Newspaper!
The first frosts arrived at last and are so heavy they look like a light dusting of snow. We’ve moved from a mild, barely-there Autumn to a beautiful Winter in one cold swoop. It’s been a fortnight of harvesting evergreens, hot water bottles up jumpers, merry wreath making and Christmas installs. Busy. Chilly. Heaven. I love the work at this time of year; it feels simpler, happier. A time of head and hands stuck in a pine-scented wonderland.
Wreath Kits
The wreath-kits have been making their way to you, and this coming week sees the last set heading out. They’ve had a mention in the Financial Times today (thanks to Alice @norticulture), and we couldn’t be prouder. They’re fully compostable, and sustainable- all the ingredients grown, tended, and harvested by Paris and I here in West Sussex. The kits have been a real labour of love, and it’s absolutely made our season that they’re being enjoyed! Luckily there’s still time to order one if you’d like to give wreath making a go. (The cut-off will be tomorrow (Sunday) evening.)
We’ve been seeing glimpses of the creations you’ve been making from them too, and they’re turning out so gorgeous! I have yet to make a wreath for my own front door- this week I think I’ll carve out the time for that joy with plenty of inspiration from the wreaths already made.

Door Ready Wreaths
If you’d prefer a beautiful wreath for your door ready to hang, we’ve got that option for you. Paris has been weaving some beautiful creations that have been zooming out the door onto your doors already. We’ll both be making them to order this week and getting them out on overnight courier so you have it super quick and ready to welcome any festive guests.
