Holiday Weekend

Being the last holiday weekend I thought it would be a good idea to get out and about.
Here are some great photos that we took whilst on a trip up north.
The amazing Eilean Donan Castle on the main road up to the Isle of Skye, perhaps one of the most photographed castles in the country, not a bad shot I think!
 Weekend up north 050
What a fantastic sunset looking over to the Island of Harris.

Chakra Colours and Meanings

There are seven main energy centres (chakras) of the body. These chakras are like spirals of energy, each one relating to the others.
Colour therapy aims to balance and enhance our body's energy centres/chakras and stimulate our body's own healing process.
We can use colours in many different ways throughout our life.
Colours in our homes and offices, in the fashions we wear or even a small piece of jewellery.
Adding just a splash of colour with a vase of flowers could even bring that sparkle of colour to your living area.
If you need to improve a certain chakra why not try adding a vase of flowers to your desk so you can look at it all day and see if things improve?
I have listed the seven main chakras along with their meaning and a suitable bouquet that would enhance that particular energy.
Violet / Purple - Governs the CROWN chakra at the top of the head.
Problems can be depression, dizziness, confusion and many mental disorders.
We recommend our Cool Shades bouquet of fresh lime greens, purple lilies and summer purple album's.
 Cl46-3
Indigo
- The third eye, the brow in the centre of the forehead.
Problems can be tension headaches, migraine, visual defects, sinus problems and ear problems.
We recommend our Cottage Garden bouquet of soft shades of purple, blues and limes.
Cl49-3
Blue - The throat chakra.
Problems can be thyroid, anorexia, asthma, bronchitis and sore throats.
We recommend our Blue Flower Collection which will be a selection of the most seasonal fresh blue flowers available on the day.

Green - The Heart Chakra
Problems with the heart or even emotional problems of the heart.
Our Lime Flower Collection will have an interesting collection fresh lime blooms.

Summer Trends 2009

Summer is almost here - we hope!

Here at Clare Florist we have been working on a new vibrant Summer collection to tone with all the new bright colours that are available in fashion and interior designs.

To tone with the classical palette of more vivid saturated colours that remind us of warm sunsets and beach blues we have our Summer Cheer bouquet.

Cl45-1


For a chic Summer look we have Twist of Lime, reminding us of hot Summer days and a refreshing glass of Rum Mojito enjoyed whilst sitting in the garden.
