As I mentioned in my last post, the week before Easter, I did a third workshop with Anthropologie. This time it was in their flagship store on Regent Street. Like the last couple of times, I was teaching my lovely guests how to make floral wired napkin rings. And also just like the times before, I was sure no-one would turn up; luckily the turnout was great - even the Queen of Flowers, Nikki Tibbles came. Just in case I wasn't nervous enough.
I arrived at the crack of dawn to set up my Easter woodland; a purple sea of muscari, hyacinths, violas, forget-me-nots and tulips - like the last couple of times too - they were arranged in a mossy, log filled woodland. I left the cabbages at home this time and chose to keep things quite tonal using Anthropologie's heavenly gold and blue pottery made by Jardin des Plantes instead. I used their vases teapots, sugar bowls and tea cups as containers. There were also some divine little porcelain bunny candlesticks on the shop floor which I pinched to house the quails eggs.
It was Easter after all...
