Let's start at the beginning

We'll hello there
For years I've thought I should create a blog. Share what I know about. Life has a habit of getting in the way, and up until now it just didn't get done. Tonight , whilst watching Eastenders I set it up and this .........well this is my first blog!

So what do I know about ?
And how do I know what I know?

My name is Amanda Tilbury-Waters and since the age of 23 I have had my own florist business . Actually that's not true, six years ago I gave it all up to have my beautiful daughter, who is without a doubt my greatest creation .  So without giving my age away (😁) let's just say I have a good 24 years experience under my belt of creating and designing, of taking something simple and  transforming it into something spectacular. Some creations warrant an ooh, whilst others get an overwhelming wow!

Times tho are changing. Extravagance and extreme are for a small few, the rest of us need an ooh and a wow on a budget. It has been said I can take a sows ear and turn it into a silk purse (my grandma  Elsie's favorite phrase) but I like to think I simple think out of the box - see what others don't always see! And I would like to share some ideas and experiences with you.

So let's start with something simple. JARS
Yes .....jars. Big jars. Small jars. Tall jars. Round jars. Square jars. The list goes on and on and .... On.
Watch this space for ideas for weddings, parties and gift ideas that you ca make from ...jars. Something we all have and probably place into the recycling bin every day without giving it a second thought.
