we'll be giving out a whole load of flower tips and advice and running little informal classes throughout the day. you can take home anything you've made and maybe even get a L&B tote bag too if you're lucky. come and say hello if you're in town...

postnatal ramblings

i just wanted to stop in and say hello. he's here and it all went well and we're all fine. and don't worry, this isn't about to become a baby blog, i promise. i haven't left the house in a week and i don't have any imminent plans to. time has quite literally stopped and we've all been holed up at home, i've been feeding my new baby boy and enjoying the days gently drifting by.

i've also been reading the seminal text that is gary barlow: my take. in my defence, i needed some non-challenging mush to read in hospital. have been secretly loving it though. take that were my first true love*. when i first started dating my now husband, he would come over to my house and i would make him watch take that videos with me. for hours. it's actually amazing we survived given that debatable start. 

meanwhile, lotte & bloom are doing an in-store event at anthropologie in edinburgh in a few weeks (sunday 3rd june). we'll be giving away lots of flower arranging tips and showing you how to make a simple flower pin and/or bracelet which you can take home with you. there might even be a tote bag or two. more details on that to follow soon but if you're in town then pop by, say hi and bring me a coffee**.
