Christmas has arrived early in my house. My tree was up in November and all the presents have nearly been bought! Bing  Crosby and Dean Martin are being aired from the office frequently ans thanks to the boys the baubles on the tree get re-arranged frequently and the tinsel re-arranged on the tree! So with me feeling so festive I decided to book on a crafty christmas course.. with a florist. I worked with Ivy Florist early this  year on a shoot that  I did and they were fabulous, and we are working together early next year. So they set up a mini course on how to make a centre piece. This is the second year they have ran them, and I hope they do another next year. I received a mug of mulled wine on arrival, and there were mince pies and chocolates to nibble on.  Their little shop is based in Pudsey and is really inviting and seasonal- and smells divine.

So thanks to the Ivy Florist ladies I now have a beautiful centre piece for my christmas table, made all by myself from scratch. Ok, I was helped just a little with making the bow.
