Now that the weather has a definite chill and the nights are darkening earlier and earlier I don’t feel too guilty about mentioning the festive season and letting you know what’s going to be on offer at the market. An injury has meant there has only been one market for the stall since May so I am very happy to be back for three Markets in a row from Nov 30th to December 15th – I will also be delivering any orders over £15 within 5 miles of Oxford.

Preorders are being taken now for delivery from Friday 28th November. Details of different wreaths fresh and dried, everlasting flower bouquets & indoor bulbs are below.

To order for delivery or pick up at a market, please contact me by email:

The Markets: Both markets run from 10.00am until midday. Click on links for more info.

Wolvercote Market: 30th November & 14th December

Sofacoma Market: 7th December

Everlasting Wreaths and Flowers

Each one of the wreaths and bouquets is different and all are made from flowers grown and then dried naturally by me just outside Oxford. The wreaths have a willow or straw base onto which generous handfuls of flowers are layered. These and the bouquets will last for years and years and keep their bright loveliness if kept in a dry place and out of bright sunlight.

Wreaths: £25.00 each & Bouquets (around 40 stems): £12.50

Only a few wreaths available this year and a small number of bouquets.

Fresh Wreaths

Fresh wreaths are made on a wire base with a generous covering of moss and layers and layers of fresh foliage, berries and beautiful seedheads. Favourite ingredients include ivy, larch cones and glossy crab apples. Most of the ingredients are from my garden and the garden of kind friends or are lightly foraged locally. The moss and eucalyptus are from sustainable sources. If the moss is kept damp, the wreaths will last well into the new year.

Wreath on a 10 inch wire base: £17.50

Wreath on a 12 inch wire base: £20.00

Wreath on 14 inch wire base: £25.00

Other bespoke wreaths are available if you would like a different size – just email.

Please bear in mind that wreaths will be at least 2 inches wider in diameter than the base.

Emerging Bulbs

The Autumn planted bulbs are starting to nudge through the compost. This year there is a wide range of both indoor and outdoor bulbs planted in a variety of pots including small, old and very lovely terracotta pots, ribbed metal containers and glass vases.
