It’s been a while since last posting anything on insta. After what has been the busiest business year in the history of AP & Co I feel ready to make a reappearance on SM now that things have started to return to some sort of normality, albeit cautiously. A massive thank you to everyone who placed orders and kept me so busy through this extraordinary time of uncertainty - it really means the world! x #thankyouforyoursupport #itmeanstheworld #poppingbytosayhi #iloveyouflower #papernotpicked #pinkrose #sayitwithflowers #iloveyou #shopetsy #handcrafted #madeinengland (at Witney, Oxfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO7P-TRF-yJ/?igshid=122mmraskanz6

White wall flowers have been a popular choice in recent weeks. Receiving such lovely feedback from customers makes this small business owner do a little happy dance. It makes all the hard work and time taken to finalise designs so worth it. Happy customers, happy me. Made my day.

Another weekend mostly filled with work but I feel I’ve achieved lots of ‘madmin’ jobs from my majorly neglected to-do list. You’ll find a few new products scattered across my website and Etsy shops. For the Bronte fans out there you’ll find newly listed flowers made from preloved pages of Jane Eyre. #workingweekend #todolist #madmin #paperflowers #bookpageflowers #janeeyre #bronte #newproduct #prelovedbooks #booklovergift #alanaphoenixandco (at Oxfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CFppFuSlIUj/?igshid=1pfmy4cga5ojf

Hey guys. Another whirlwind week that disappeared far too quickly. Something exciting did happen though... I finally took delivery of something you guys have been asking for, more info to follow shortly once I’ve had time to take pics. Have a lovely weekend x #comingsoon #excitingnews #paperflower #alicesadventuresinwonderland #aliceinwonderland #paperrose #sayitwithflowers #nowaterrequired #aliceflower #bookloversgift #alanaphoenixandco https://www.instagram.com/p/CFCJrVQlOOQ/?igshid=1957240w34tnz

Good morning guys! It’s been a while so I thought I’d pop by to say ‘Hi’ and ‘Thank you’. I’m still here just super busy, it’s been non stop at AP HQ for the last few months. Thank you to everyone ordering and supporting my small business during this time, it really means the world. I hope everyone is managing to adjust to our new normal. With my youngest now back at school for the first time in 6 months I’m hoping to have a little more time for SM and to keep you updated with all things AP. Here’s a pic of a gorgeous ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ bouquet that headed to the US while we were in lockdown. I’m a firm believer in the saying ‘a Sunday well spent brings a week of content’ - I hope you all have a lovely Sunday x #itsbeenawhile #paperbouquetsuk #winniethepooh #paperflower #papernotpicked #weddingflowersinspiration #smallbusinessowner #thankyouforyoursupport #repurposedbooks #weddingbouquets #alanaphoenixandco #flowersmadefrompaper #bookpageflowers (at Oxfordshire) https://www.instagram.com/p/CEyRy8QlYuB/?igshid=ob5lh7zawt89

No your eyes are not deceiving you, this is not a paper flower. It’s made from linen fabric. A custom order made for one of my regular customers for his 4th Wedding Anniversary this month. So far I’ve created four flowers for him one for each of his wedding anniversaries - paper 1st, cotton 2nd, leather 3rd and now this gorgeous linen one. I’m always a little apprehensive when using different materials to paper but I really enjoyed creating it. I’m seriously considering adding it to my collection.

Good morning guys! I hope this finds you safe and well in our new normal under lockdown. Apologies for the complete lack of posts for the last few weeks. I’ve been so busy creating your orders, which I’m so so thankful for. I’m finding being busy is helping distract me from the extraordinary times we find ourselves in. Anyhoo, I just wanted to pop by to say hi and thank you for your continued support, it means everything. Stay home, stay safe.

‘Thinking of you’ paper flower. What a difference a warm and sunny day makes. I feel a little spring clean of my garden studio is on the cards today ahead of another busy week at AP HQ. Who else is filling their days with a mix of work and ticking things off of that dreaded ‘jobs to do around the home’ list that you’ve been putting off for months or years? My husband is loving life right now... not!

As we’re all adapting to our new normal for the foreseeable and while all in the AP household are well, AP HQ will remain open. I feel it’s necessary to add that I will be reducing my Post Office trips from 6 days a week to 3 days this coming week and then to just twice a week after that time. Also, all my supplies are being sent via post or couriers so no visits to suppliers for the foreseeable either. Fingers crossed we all stay safe, stay home for those who can and find some way of putting a smile on the faces of our nearest and dearest through this tough time. In this together.

Happy Mother’s Day to all those special ladies in our lives. Hoping you’ve all managed to celebrate in some way with your loved ones whether by phone calls, FaceTime or as it was in our family what we affectionately called ‘knock and run’ social distancing and a door step present giving and a lovely chat from a distance. Love to all x #celebratingmothersday #happymothersday https://www.instagram.com/p/B-CyNQYFmME/?igshid=e6rcb7ncx8dt

Hi guys, I’m still here busily working away on all your orders and final Mother’s Day orders. Given the current health climate I feel it’s necessary to let you know that whilst everyone in my household remains fit and well my order book will remain open. If that changes I will let you know.
