Despite freezing cold temperatures outside, Spring has sprung at Sean Hirst Flowers.

Yesterday, Sean had his Spring preview evening at his shop in Eccleshall. Packed full of wonderful delights and goodies with the four themes blending together prompted thoughts and day-dreams of the warmer weather to come. The shop was adorned with exotic tulips and hand-tied bouquets, sweet-smelling soaps and bathing indulgencies, coastal carvings and textured picture frames with a wonderful sense of nostalgia to remind everyone of their childhood holidays on the English coast. In the other window the pastel shades of Easter proved to be a charming and colourful display of pink and yellow. Beautiful, handmade baskets for little girls which really made me wish I was seven again. Pretty and pracitical garden ornaments and tools and finally the whole shop was lit with a stunning new selection of chandaliers. Little Sean Hirst Flowers etc was heaving with customers all evening, and having indulged, it seemed everyone retired to The Bell for a sit down and a chat. If you are passing Eccleshall, please call in and see Sean shop. It really is a treat. I took these pictures this afternoon, but when there is a bit more light I will pop back and take some interiors too.
