Pretty Wildflowers!

Summer is on its way and our fields and gardens are full of beautiful wildflowers - buttercups, daisies, pretty pink and white clover flowers, cow parsley, grass and much more.

Put them together in a pretty vase, glass, jar or jug to create a pretty shabby chic arrangement that is absolutely free! A clean jam jar with a ribbon tied around it as a cheap and effective way to display your flowers.

If your garden is lacking in wildflowers, you can even buy packets of mixed wildflower seeds to create a natural selection of wild flowers, which can be purchased from meadow mania or wildflower.org.uk They are also a great way to encourage bees, butterflies and other wildlife to visit your garden!

The perfect wedding gift...

With wedding season now upon us, and the beautiful royal wedding last week, we thought we'd recommend some fabulous gifts to present to the happy couple.

Forget toasters and other boring presents and choose a unique item for their home that they will treasure for years to come.

Here at Strawberry House we have a lovely selection of items from stunning mirrors such as this gorgeous white french style mirror.












Pretty silk flowers make a wonderful gift, especially when presented in a beautiful vase. We love these beautiful pink silk Cinderella roses.



















Or if you're feeling particularly generous why not treat them to a gorgeous piece of furniture that will take pride of place in their home. This chaise longues is a classic piece that will look beautiful in any home.











Look out for information on out Mid Season Sale - coming soon!
