A set of four black folded greetings cards featuring individual pressed flowers. Perfect to send as a thank you note, for a special birthday, anniversary or house warming, these cards are left blank inside for your own message and come with a set of matte black envelopes.
The flowers on the cards in each set are unique. All were grown in my East Sussex garden or picked from the wild in the surrounding countryside from abundantly growing clusters.
Designed to be kept and framed and treasured as individual artworks, the set comes in a lovely teal blue box, tied with velvet ribbon - perfect for gifting all year round. All four cards can be framed and hung together.

The perfect gift for those who love nothing more than spending some quiet time faffing with flowers, our new Flower Lover’s Ikebana Gift Set includes everything needed for making artful ikebana-inspired displays with fresh or dried flowers.
Use our Harvest ceramic flower frog, alone or placed inside our Oxnam porcelain bowl, or opt for a small Niwaki kenzan flower pin inside the bowl for more minimal arrangements. Simply fill the ceramic flower frog with water when using fresh flowers.
You’ll also receive a packet of Nigella papillosa “Delft Blue” seeds from the lovely Higgledy Garden. These delicate little beauties (pictured) are named after Delftware pottery and have mottled silvery grey and blue petals, a deep aubergine “bee” and gorgeous feathery foliage. They’re easy to grow, too and can been sown straight into beds and borders.
As a keen gardener and flower lover, I designed this set to delight those who love to grow, cut and get creative with flowers. A really useful and versatile set, it can be used all year round, with dried flowers, grasses and slender branches coming into play in the cooler months.

Many of these tiny porcelain vases have been inspired by the shapes seen in classical Japanese pottery but they also follow a long tradition of miniature making in the family pottery.
Miniatures were first produced in the Braunton Pottery by William Fishley Holland in the mid-1900s.
These one-of-a-kind modern collections look great on their own but are equally striking as part of a curated display on your shelf or sideboard. Each collection of five vases is unique and will not be repeated.
Please note: if there is a particular shape or colour combination you’d like, please contact us directly as we are able to accommodate specific requests.
