Making Dreams Come True
Hello and welcome to Tales From Apple Tree House.
A little bit about me!
My name is Anna. I'm a mum of 3 (nearly) grown up children and live and work from my home based studio in Battle, East Sussex. I started my working career as a printed textile designer then went on to work in the fashion business as a Buyer. After 10 years in the fashion industry (and now more than 20 years ago!) I decided to leave to pursue my dream. To work with flowers. The rest, as they say, is history......
Turning dreams into reality
The Apple Tree House Studio is where I do most of my floral work and host many of my workshops. It over looks the cutting beds and garden. The cutting beds have been developing over the last 6 years, something that started as a hobby but now supplies many of our floral designs. I usually have my Jack Russell, Charlie on hand as my sidekick when I'm working and a team of skilled freelancers that arrive for events and wedding work.
My floral design work is heavily influenced by my previous careers in Textile design and Fashion as well as the beauty of the surrounding countryside and the changing seasons.
My flowery journey is documented via my blog and on Instagram.
Hopefully you will join me at some point and we can create something beautiful together.
