hanging out


When in doubt, Hang out.
Hanging out is the new sitting on the coffee table. And since I don't have time to sit on the coffee table. Nor do I own a coffee table, hanging out works just fine for me. From Palm Beach to Paddington, check out my latest hanging spots.

peon-why



To my dear sweet peony,

Not a second goes by when my thoughts aren't on you. We have spent many novembers together, even sometimes decembers. And when you pop in through the year as a surprise. Oh! You are my delight. 
I love your shades of baby pink, fluffy white, your coral...even your burning purple. 
No day is ever the same with you. One minute you are closed, and the next you are full of life and ready for anything. I could watch you for hours.

However, I feel like something has changed. 
Quite frankly, I think you have turned into a bit of a hussy. Im always seeing you out and about in the arms of other girls, sitting on window ledges and hanging out in every shop, cafe, and public toilet. You are clogging up my instagram feed with jealousy. You are always trying to out do fellow flowers. Opening bigger and better than the humble blooms... never sharing the limelight. But you know what? 
I don't even think you smell good. There, I said it.

I know the whole world wants you. Have you no self control? Peon-why can't you just be mine?


Not so lovingly yours,

The Flower Drum

a little hollyday...

If you have been waiting for a good reason to visit The Flower Drum, well I have the best reason of all for you to visit me tomorrow. Tomorrow (saturday 24th) will be my last day of popping up @ The Sugarmill. With a long floral list that would rival that of Santa's, my schedule has become buzz up buttercup bizzy with events. For a while now I've been trying to master the disaster of being in two places at once.
Its actually physically impossible! I had to make a decision.
So a few weeks ago, I decided that this would be my last weekend at the shop over summer. 
And as it were, the actual Sugarmill is relocating too!

Fear not my flamingos. I will be popping up again in the new year- somewhere so snazzy, you'll just sneeze with joy.
I want to say a huge big thank you to everyone who has been visiting me over the last year. I am so sad that I wont get to sit and drink coffee with you anymore! I have loved meeting you all and I will miss asking you billions of questions every Saturday about what you are having for lunch and what movies I should watch. YOU ARE THE BEST, and I am so lucky to have met you and made friends with you all!

THANK YOU/ THESE ARE FOR YOU

PS> I am throwing a huge party next week. More on that later. You are invited!
