The windows of our Midhurst flower shop are full of freshly picked pumkins and seasonal posies this week. The carved pumkins have been a bit of an attraction and its been lovely to see the smiles on people's faces when they walk past.
My partner carved the pumkins and if you'd like to know how he did it look at the photos below...

The dahlia's are still flowering on our English farm but they are slowing down now. They are so beautiful in all their stages of growth don't you agree?

Midhurst and the road through to Goodwood was filled with fabulous vintage cars this weekend for what, in my opinion, is one of the best weekends in the local calendar; The Goodwood Revival.

Our shop windows in Midhurst featured vintage trunks filled with our scented seasonal flowers and lots of on-trend-vintage-inspired dahlias! A gorgeous 1950's dress, on loan from our local vintage emprorium Marmedukes in Rumbolds Hill, took pride of place.

We LOVE this time of year at The Real Flower Company.
There's an abundance of wonderful, seasonal flowers, herbs and foliage to be picked on our English farm; dahlias, echinacea, salvia, cosmos, hydrangea, garden roses (of course!) flowering mint (in every variety), sage, pheasant bush, blackberries, hypericum, scented geranium...there are too many to mention here but we'll keep you posted as we move through the harvest and into September and create our more sensational, seasonal bouquets.

We've launched a pop up shop at the fabulous Anthropologie on the Kings Road in London.
We hope you'll pop in to see us - we'll be there until mid June!

We're thrilled to announce that our new shop opened today in West Street, Midhurst, West Sussex.

What a day it was! About 10 inches of snow fell in Midhurst overnight but it didn't stop us from opening. The fire was lit, the mulled wine warmed up and the scents and sounds of Christmas filled the air.
I live on a steep hill in Midhurst and, having ruled out skiing down to the shop, opted to take the fiat in its new snow socks (highly recommended!).

Thanks so much to all of the local people who came to see us today and for all your lovely comments. Here are some photos from day 1....

We were suprised and delighted to have actually won the Sheerluxe Online Shopping Awards 2010 for the 'Best Flowers' category.

Thank you so much to all of the Sheerluxe customers who voted for us -may you be showered with fresh rose petals!

We've been making real fresh flower jewellery!
It looks amazing on simple evening dresses or for weddings - a welcome move on from the wrist corsage don't you think?
