Aileen Clarke Crafts at David Florist

David Florist in Aberdeen is the most beautiful flower shop that I have ever had the privilege and pleasure to work in. Located on Thistle Street, David's is an oasis of beauty and style. Not only is David's shop full of the freshest and most fashionable flowers, he also stocks a wonderful range of stylish and contemporary accessories for the home.



I worked for David in the early 90's and enjoyed arranging things for display on the lovely deep shelves. Every little alcove was like an artist's still life set for a painting.


I'm really grateful to David for the training he gave me. He really brought out my flair for floristry and it has stood me in good stead through the years.


I'm delighted that David is now stocking some of my work. He has been selling my cards for a while now and has added some of my new pictures to his beautiful displays through in the lovely upstairs part of his shop.





I really like these tall vases and the candle sticks and I'm pleased that I used these plain painted frames for the Tulips and Flowers series. This one looks quite at home here.


I love all the bright colours that are in fashion for home accessories and hope to make some big and bold pieces using my embellisher. It's great to see hot pink, lime green, turquoise and purple are making a come back too.


I like the way that David chooses to display classic and contemporary pieces side by side so effortlessly, creating an ambient yet invigorating environment.
David also stocks a lovely range of glassware. Beautiful and functional.

All in all this is one of my all time favourite shops and I really enjoyed my little visit there at the weekend.
