Newsflash!

As some of you are aware Sam has been working this week frantically on something for the new year  and we can now share with you what it is.

Not only will we be on facebook, but have decided with the changes they are making to pages to make things a lot harder for you to see what we are doing, we are going to take on another online presence so we now have a shop front on another platform . This will NOT affect anything on facebook for the amazing likers and friends it will just give another outlet for sales and more ready to go items ;o)

We will be offering specials on the new shop BUT will always give you amazing people the heads up and link to the offers ;o) and will still do different offers here for you.

If anyone wants to check out the new shop and what we have there at the moment the link is http://www.gotshop.co.uk/seller-profile/samaflora/ and would LOVE any feedback you wish to leave us ;o)

We would all at Samaflora like to wish you all a very merry christmas and a happy 2015.

 

Its Christmas!

Evening all, sorry I haven't posted for awhile, I have been super busy, but I had to take 5 minutes out to show you this gorgeous Christmas bouquet.

It has been created using 2 dozen roses and a dozen poinsettia plus some ivy leaves.

 

How gorgeous would one of these look in the middle of the Christmas table, or as a special gift for your mum/grandma or any other special person.

This bouquet is unavailable for purchase, but should you wish to order one, it will cost approximately £40 plus postage.

Good Evening all

Good evening all, hope you are all well on this cold raining night, I've got the heating on for the first time in months! 

Have you all seen the beautiful poppy brooches? They are stunning the pictures really do not do them justice at all.

The brooches are avaliable for the amazing price of just £5 (plus postage), and not only that, but 50% of the sale price of every poppy will go to the poppy appeal, meaning you get a fantastic brooch and the poppy appeal gets a donation too.

If you want one be quick, they are only available for a very limited time!

Congratulations Helen and Rich

Sunday 27th July 2014 saw the wedding of the very first Samaflora bride.

Helen chose to have her bouquet, buttonholes and bridesmaids hair flowers made using our flowers, and they looked stunning. 

2000 likes :)

Wow, we have now reached 2000 likes over on the Samaflora page!

 We want to say a big thank you to each and every one of you that have liked the page, and taken the time to share it too.

Weddings @ Samaflora

 

This week has seen the introduction of wedding flowers at Samaflora. Sam has been working very hard to make a beautiful bouquet for you, who wouldn't want gorgeous flowers for their wedding day that they can keep forever and ever.

 

The bouquet you can see here has been made using 24 stunning shimmer roses with a pearl centre and lots of ivy. They are finished with a complementing ribbon handle, and incorporate a brooch with a blue stone.

 

This is just an example and they can be made in any colour you wish. Matching items are also available, for example bridesmaids posies, buttonholes, table decorations etc etc. Sam will work with you to create exactly what you are looking for on your special day.

 

They are truely stunning, the pictures do not do them justice at all. 

If you would like anymore information or to place an order, you can contact the team over on our facebook page -  Samaflora - where we will be happy to discuss this with you.

Mothers Day Competition

Today brings you the details of the mothers day competition brought to you by the Samaflora blog. 

You could win one of these beautiful bouquets featuring 12 stunning shimmer roses. The picture below is an example, not the one you will receive, but uses the same gorgeous papers.

You can win this prize either for yourself, or for someone special like your mum, and we can post out to either them or yourselves if you win.

To enter all you have to do is leave a comment below telling me who you would give it to (or keep for yourself) and why you would give it to them.

You have until 6pm on Thursday 20th March to get your entries in, and the winner will be announced on Friday 21st March on the blog.

The winner will be chosen by random number generation and the winner announced on the blog, so you must check back and see if you are the winner and get in contact. If there is no contact by 5pm on Monday 24th March the winner will be redrawn to ensure they get the prize by mothers day.

Happy Wednesday :)

Good morning all, hope you all have a brilliant day, I'm dropping my little monster off at nursery shortly, going to asda shopping and then I am going to see the lego movie! yay 

Yesterday saw 3 of the samaflora team go to a new wholesaler to have a look at new papers and things to bring you many more new flowers, this will see in due course a new very limited edition, that will not be able to be repeated, so keep an eye out for more details of that.

I am also in the process of coming up with ideas for the mothers day giveaway, hoping to have that posted very soon so you can all enter, keep checking back to see if I have posted yet.

I'm still looking for peoples makes with our flowers, noone has sent me any yet so please do so I have some more pretty pictures to share :(

I am still looking for photos of your work with Samaflora flowers to do a customer showcase feature, please do send me some in.

Giveaway

It seems some of you are having problems in adding a photo to the giveaway, hopefully this will help you.....

To start you need to be on this link here - Enter here

Next you need to find the URL of the photo you are wanting to add, this needs to already be online somewhere such as facebook, to find the URL you need to find the image, right click on it, and you should get the option to 'copy link location' you should then add that where it says link back on inlinkz.

For link title please use your name, and then your email address.

Papercraft Inspirations!

Samaflora is in Papercraft Inspirations!

Rachel of Crafty Little Creations 

(https://www.facebook.com/XCraftyLittleCreationsx) 

sent cards in to Papercraft inspirations and had her pictures published in the March 2014 issue. She used Samaflora flowers on them, so we also got a mention!

This is great for us, and you should all check out Crafty Little Creations too, as she makes the most wonderful cards.

Journals@Samaflora

This week saw Sam decide to merge her Handmade with Love and Samaflora pages together, as she could not dedicate the time to both pages, Handmade with love is no more, and instead you can now get beautiful bespoke handmade journals from Samaflora instead.

If you would like to get your hands on a journal like any of the ones below, or in any other style you like, then you should contact Sam and have one made, they really are excellent.

 

So today saw the prize draw being held for the 1000 likes giveaway. The very special draw picker arrived at Samaflora HQ after nursery and as you can see below he had lots of fun picking a winner, (you can also check the samaflora facebook page for the most adorable video of him doing the draw), not bad for a 10 month old :)

 

After lots of encouragement to give us just one piece of the many bits of paper in the box, he finally did and we had a winner, who just happened to be......

Helen Foster-Isaacs

Well done Helen, and I hope you enjoy your prize

Good morning all from admin Clarey. 

I am here to take over the running of the Samaflora blog from today, as Sam is just too busy making flowers, and I now have the internet at home yay.

Its crazy busy at Samaflora today, with the draw being held for the 1000 likes giveaway later on today! If you haven't already entered you don't have long left to do so.
