In conversation with Anna Potter of Swallows and Damsons

Today we chat with Anna Potter, founder of Swallows & Damsons, who has a retail space and wedding/events studio based in the trendy antiques quarter of Sheffield

We speak about Anna's journey into flowers from her fine art background and how these beginnings have shaped the way that she works with flowers

Anna always dreamed of having a shop, not knowing what she would sell and once she found her love of flowers everything clicked into place

We talk about Anna's beautiful book The Flower Fix, how the idea came about and her ongoing work with the talented photographer India Hobson, who took the beautiful imagery

We love Anna's ethos of seeing the extraordinary in the everyday and we will leave you with a beautiful quote from her book

"We spend so much of our time looking on a surface level at what others are doing, that we forget on a deeper level and the everyday extraordinary that's right in front on us"

Anna had us spellbound for pretty much this entire episode

Thank you so much for speaking with us Anna x
