Paula

Wreaths from homegrown and foraged stems, and lavender gifts sewn from antique textiles

Howden

Self-taught wreath-maker & seamstress

The foraged stems, often untamed, dictate their own place in each arrangement — so every wreath is unique.

Paula has always felt a deep connection to nature — quiet joy in the birds and the rambling hedgerows that inspire what she makes. She grows what she can and forages the rest, letting each untamed stem find its own place, so no two wreaths are ever the same.

With a background in science, she never imagined she could be creative. Then, many moons ago, she set herself the challenge of a festive wreath using only foliage from her garden and an old wreath base — and got completely lost in it. Blossom & Bloom is the gentle new chapter that followed: a space to be herself among twigs and stems, and to help others find the same quiet joy. Alongside the wreaths she upcycles antique and vintage textiles into lavender-filled gifts, having taught herself to sew so she could.
