We’ve decorated Clayton Square for many years, and the building has seen many changes. It was time to change the colour scheme from beautiful jewelled colours we’d used for several years, to something new. We’ve used peacocks with blues & greens, we’ve done reds & golds, blues & silvers too. So this time I thought […]
I’m lucky enough to live in Yorkshire where there are so many wonderful towns and villages with beautiful, independent shops serving both locals and visitors alike.

The Paper Studio wanted to create a video inspiring florists as to what they could achieve with their window space, so Grant asked Floral Elegance in Acomb and David from Wards if they’d kindly lend us their […]
We were recently invited to Global Travel Group’s annual Conference at La Manga in Spain. Well – we couldn’t say ‘no’ now, could we?!
