Once upon a
time, a few moons ago, I met a lovely florist lady in my local pub. A few moons after that, I got in touch with
her again, as I thought her work was just brill. I could see that Tracey Campbell knew her
onions and had a fabulously creative mind. I wondered if there was a way we
could work together.
I was so
glad I did. When two like minds meet, exciting stuff happens. Tracey is an inspiration. We've had lots of meetings since – and
there’s all sorts of ideas bubbling away to be brought to you over the coming
months. But first and foremost, we have
come up with a cunning plan to work collaboratively. A core element of my business is prop hire. So – way to go. I order and store muchos
floral container finery. Tracey hires said gorgeousness from me, and is thus
able to offer brides far more choice. It also means that Tracey can compete
better in the corporate market, as she now has access to the sort of mahoosive
vases that venues like the Millenium Galleries require. But variety is the key.
From pretty little votives to terracotta pots – all of it will be available.
I’d like to
think of us as entrepreneurial women acting smart.
Not long
ago, T and I worked together on a product shoot for my new web site. When the
right props and the right flowers come together – beautiful is the result.
I am
absolutely delighted to have started this venture with Tracey. And as well as the business side of our
venture, there are creative explosions on the horizon too. So keep watching. We
plan to be one step ahead of the game, with a keen eye on fashion, trends and
the NEXT BIG THING. We hope you’ll have seen it here first.
