Why Felt Flowers?

I love nature and I tend to find that I am happiest and most at peace when surrounded by trees and plants. We've all seen the pictures of the log cabins in the middle of nowhere doing the rounds on social media with captions like 'who would live here for a month with no phone or internet?' Hmmm let me think about it... YES! Can I stay longer than a month please? Well that's the dream but in reality the occasional visit to somewhere green and trying to will have to do for now.

Having plants, especially green leafy ones, around the house or office has been proven to help improve our physical health as well as our mental wellbeing. Plants have been found to improve our creativity, our concentration, our ability to get along with others and our moods. Colours of flowers can influence our emotions and moods and everyone associates different emotions with different colours, this is why I offer many products in a range of colours. The presence of flowers has also been found to help reduce anxiety. Whilst the physical health benefits can only be linked to real plants, there is still a lot to be said for the psychological effects of having flowers and plants around, even the fake ones. Especially if you are like me and are not great at helping real plants to thrive... less guilt from failing yet another plant also helps improve your mood!

It is true that you cant beat real flowers... but I can try to come close!

I have tried to keep house plants alive but usually fail miserably. Even if I remember to water them and then also don't over water them, I seem to have trouble finding a spot with enough light or heat or where they are not going to get knocked over or played with by the dog or toddler who both believe that everything in my house is a toy. Now when I see plants that I would love to buy for my home I can practically hear them begging to be taken home by someone else who they actually stand a chance of survival with... I also love to have flowers in the house but it always saddens me to see them start to wilt after a week.

If you can relate to any of this then seriously, try some felt plants or flowers. They don't get upset with you because you gave them too much or too little water, they don't mind being in a spot with less sunlight, they don't wilt after only a week and they wont die if you go on holiday and leave them to fend for themselves!
