Tonight sees the last of our late night shopping evenings.

We are all open until 9pm, there will music, food and a fire in the courtyard and we have wreaths, eucylptus, present ideas and cheer for you in our little shop.

We would love to see you later xx

Last night we held our first wreath workshop of the winter.

As usual for me, the day was filled with nerves, insecurities and worries which I get in the lead up to these things. I dont know why. So thank you so much to the lovely friends, family, and customers who said and did such kind things to try and make me feel more confident.

.

But . oh my.

By 6.15pm the shop was full of the friendliest, chattery-iest and happiest flock of girls ( boys, you would be made very very welcome if you fancy wreath making !!)

We had Prosecco, warm apple juice, cakes, chocolates and a choral playlist (good choice!!)

.

Every single wreath was completely amazing. Simple, mad, massive, ordered, neat and crazy, all utterly different and all utterly beautiful.
we hope you loved making them.

This little shop was alive with such kind and lovely friends who hopefully went home full of an evening to remember.

Thank you all so much for coming, we hope you enjoyed it, your wreaths and your company where just beautiful xx

The shop, which I chatter on about all the time, is only a very tiny part of The Potting Sheds.
We also have an amazingly creative landscape design team whose vision, skill and attention to detail are exemplary.

They were recently asked to design and create a new patio to compliment a stunning new kitchen extension. Crittal windows and doors have been used in the new build and the internal floors had been raised hence the new patio had to be quite high.

Using reclaimed Cheshire pre-war common brick to match the house, a perimeter wall was built to surround the new patio area, then infilled with hardcore.

.

Gorgeous oversized steps were built either end (chattering to Early whilst taking photographs)

A trip to the reclamation yard provided air bricks and cast iron topped channel drains.

.

Bricks were laid and cut in a herringbone design on a dry mix of sand and cement, then kiln dried sand was brushed into the gaps, creating a very beautiful addition to an already stunning garden.

Its probably one of my very favourites . Imagine the hello new patio party we will have on here just saying xx
