    Secret Garden Florist is a pretty lovely little shop, and the previous reviews have inspired me to…read morelove it even more! Although not a standard combination I actually think that selling flowers, hats and fascinators in the same shop somehow makes sense. Maybe because the fascinators are so flowery, or maybe it just feels right to see so many pretty things in one place! This shop has recently opened and has yet to put up a sign, but the interior is very inviting, with a minimalist whitewashed look, a large display of hats and fascinators and some beautifully presented flowers. The hats and fascinators are large and flamboyant and adorned with feathers flowers and bows. Perfect for the races (if you're into that sort of thing) or a wedding. The milliner who creates these wonders does a bespoke hat-making service and specialises in creating pieces for weddings. Bouquets are made to order and are sure to impress!

Being fortunate enough to work practically in the forest (my work base is right out in the countryside) I have to catch the bus through Oakwood on a Mon-Weds. As such I'm always staring out of the bus window, eyes glazed over in the morning light, trying not to fall asleep. One fine morning I realised that this place was re-opening and so decided to nip in on my way home! What a delight. It's a bit of a random mix, flowers and fascinators, but then if you are a creative person you'll know what it's like to have more than one outlet for your imagination. The shop may only be in its infancy, but that doesn't mean there are few items to browse - oh no. With a back wall dedicated to a range of exquisite fascinators one could simply stand for an age taking in all of the detail. There are large ornate pieces, with huge illustrious peacock feathers and bright colours, to a more modest set of hair comb based feathered creations. Literally something for everyone and with a price range of £30 - £100+ this could not be more true! There are also a selction of delightful mini felt top hats decorated gloriously with a range of feathers, and my favourite piece of all, an utterly beautiful fascinator hat. That last piece is not for sale, as it was a competition piece, but you really must go in to see it. It's a sort of 20s style hat, exquisitely crafted, and won its crafter a place as one of 12 finalists *in the world* for one of the largest hat making competitions held worldwide. Wow! The crafter, also owner of the shop, is a truly lovely lady as well and more than happy to chat about her creations. If her fascinator artistry is anything to go by her floristry will certainly be exquisite too. She has a workshop inside the building as well, crafting on site, and can make up specialist hats and bespoke flowers to any specification. If you are thinking of saying it with flowers, or perhaps fancy an outing to the races, you now know your first port of call! I highly recommend a visit to this wonderful shop. I know I'm looking forward to watching it flourish!

Furthermore it's a proven fact that having plants in your work space and home space is good for you, and I think in more ways than simply cleaning your air! So, with that in mind I decided to check out Pudsey Flowers and Plants. What a lovely florists! They had a huge selection spilling right out on to the street - roses, daffodils, grass plants, carnations (I think?) and more than I could possibly name! I'm not too up on my flora so you'll have to excuse me on that front. The lady in the shop was really lovely and clearly couldn't wait to help me so I purchased a lovely grass plant which now takes pride of place in the conservatory. Best of all? It's still alive! This is pretty awesome given my plant history. I've even had cacti die on me. So - I highly recommend!

    I don't really know too much about flowers, or florrists, mainly due to the fact that having moved…read morehouse in Leeds 'umpteen' times (having been a student here) I rarely see the point nurturing and looking after a plant, it's hard enough looking after yourself at uni! However, that was then, and this is now, and perhaps I'm growing old and my approach is softening, I really do like having green things littering my home, just so long as I remember to water and care for them! I went in to buy a bouquet for my new flat (my mum was visiting, had to make it look like I'd really gone up in the world following several years of living in grimier houses that were fundamentally uncared for). I was hovering outside for a while, I have no idea how much flowers are supposed to cost, but upon entry, the lady in there-who had noticed me hovering was pretty helpful. I bought an assortment of colourful floral things (don't ask me what they were, I haven't the foggiest) and a little potted plant for under a fiver. Not bad? Who knows, but I'll probably be going back. As said, maybe I'm softening with age..

    This branch of Paperchase is located in Leeds Train Station, it is a fairly interesting part of the…read morestation which is split off from the main hustle and bustle of the concourse and also features other stores such as Starbucks. Overall, Leeds Station is large so does have quite a few shops inside, ones which would be unusual to find in a train station normally and one of these stores includes Paperchase, I have only seen a Paperchase in a train station once before, as I recall this was in the summer when I went to Newcastle, which appeared to be quite a modern branch. This store seems quite small and has a slightly girly feel to it overall, it mainly stocks items of the cards and arts and crafts markets rather than having a huge selection of stationery for example. This branch is one of two stores which Paperchase has in Leeds as I recall, with a larger location closer to the "shopping center" of Leeds, yet not apart of The Trinty Mall. This store overall as mentioned just feels rather unusual in its location, does it offer a huge benefit to its location? Not really. I'm struggling here, the overall feel, selection and location of this store, isn't great and this store for me really is a maverick store due to the reasons discussed and I'm struggling to warrant it deserving anything other a single one-star rating, I'm sorry to report which is a shame too, considering it is nearly 8 years since this place was reviewed for the first time (which also happened to be when this place was last reviewed).

It's convenient and has been a life saver for me on many occasions due to my brain having the storage capacity of a sieve. What's also nifty is the odd gift that they stock, if you've got a creative type then a nicely clad/bound/decorated notebook and pen is a good rescue, and what d'you know, they also stock gift wrap and bags. Phew. There's a nice selection of genres from the cute to the funny to the sloppy to the cartoon, the serious, the heartfelt and the contemporary. It's a small cube of a store that's tightly packed with stock from floor to ceiling and the last time I was in, the 3 or 4 members of staff on shift seemed a little unwarranted but what they hell eh? They're ruddy rude!!! One lass didn't even bother to look at me as I handed over my intended purchases, she just called out the price, carried on her conversation and stuck her hand out for my dosh. How flippin rude! In my own act of small rebellion I fished out all the shrapnel in my pocket and chucked it down on the till area. Hah! Take that rude sales assistant. Anyone else had this treatment, or was it just my face she took umbrage with?
