Autumnal inspiration

We’ve never seen a year quite like this one!

Here at Pop & Flo we have taken to finding fun & happiness in the simple everyday things this autumn. We have taken long walks in the autumnal sunshine, had family roasts, baked & prettied home with colour & flowers from the garden. I have enjoyed finding new things to watch, read & listen to – The Great British Bake off being at the top on my list! Its important even in the midst if difficult times to find small things to make you smile

I am excited to show you some new autumn pieces for our ever expanding homeware range! Being at home seems to be so important at present & whether you can entertain 6 people or are under local lockdown restrictions (like us where you cannot have people in your home) its still great to have a few simple accessories to add personality & your own unique style.

We have added new more muted coloured and striped candles to our range alongside the exsisting bright ones which will add a cosy, warm glow to your home as the nights pull in. These candles are ethically made & are a clean, non drip candle… I just cant get enough of them!

If your entertaining why not try some of our new natural jute table mats? Available in red, cornflower blue, grey, natural and olive they are sure to add a sense of occasion to the evening. We also like using them down the middle of the table mid week to add a pop of colour & texture to the kitchen . They also make great mats for plants & set off a vase of flowers well.

I am super excited to show you the new Bordallo Pinheiro Portugese ceramic range that has just arrived! Hand glazed and inspired by my stylish Granny I just love the garden feel of these, the texture & the colour (yes green is my favorite colour!)

The small trinket bowls work as little bowls for chutney on a cheese board, dipping sauce for canapes, salt on the table or jewels at the sink or your dressing table. The larger bowls look great on a dresser, with lemons in, as a dip or crisp bowl … anything goes! They make the perfect unique little treat or gift …. we all need a little bowl in our lives!

Lastly I just wanted to share the most delicious apple cake recipe (link below) that I made with our bumper crop of apples this year… it is an old Mary Berry cake but it went down a storm here & was super easy to make…. a perfect pudding or cake with coffee .. we all need cake in our lives at the moment!

Finally just wanted to send you all lots of love & smiles … Han xx

September style

For many of us September marks a new routine in 2020, most children are back to school, some people are returning to work & maybe your feeling a little bit more confident in facing the world again after the last six months at home. 

Poppy & Flora are back to school & despite looking forward to being able to work without interruption or drink a hot coffee in peace, I will miss them… honest!

Most of all, I will miss the freedom of choosing what to do on a daily basis with no set plans, not wearing make up & living in wellies on the farm  … but a new routine will also be refreshing & they are so looking forward to seeing children if their own age again! 

With this in mind I have given my wardrobe a good sort out, I don’t know about you but there are so many things I haven’t worn since March & cannot wait to get back on for work & the school run! 

Sustainable fashion, buying less, buying better quality & wearing things more often is the way forward these days. You can then use your accessories such as belts, shoes, bags & your jewellery to change your look.

We have been super busy here sorting and adding new season accessories that will update your current looks ..we love the new earrings & necklaces that have arrived recently …. easy to wear smart or casual, all under £32 & guaranteed to make you feel stylish!

Do keep an eye out for our super popular scarves, hairbands & new recyclcled cashmere mitts that are due mid September.

We are also working hard behind the scenes to open a small pop up shop in the garden & hold in house pop up events now that most of the Christmas fairs that we normally attend have been cancelled….. watch this space!

Enjoy your weekend .. do use the code BANKHOL on all orders over £10 for 10% off & free shipping on all items including sale pieces

Much Love Han xx
