Sometimes, it’s just toooo damn hot to work in a workshop right?

Relaxing in the sun with a beer just has to be done at times like these.

Ever wished your gorgeous blooms could stick around a bit longer?

Well, hold onto your vases, because I’ve got some exciting news that’ll make your foliage want to frolick!

Let me introduce you to the new…

Vase Buddies…

adorable underwear critter superheroes!

Turns out that copper naturally kicks out all the nasty bacteria and fungi in your vase water so that your buds and blooms stay nice and perky, who’d have thought! 😉

It’s like your freshly cut flowers have their very own copper-clad bodyguards!

Swim on over to my website to check them out.

Just a little message to say…

01/05/2024

Yup… that’s right…10% off for the whooole of May!

Ralph and Felicity Flappit have been given a promotion to be my new packaging scrutinzers.

They check each parcel before and after packaging to make sure they all come up to the standard, and then wing them onto the postal department to get them on their way to you lovely lot.

So far, they’re doing an amazing job.

02/03/2024

So that’s it for Mother’s Day orders, we are full to capacity for getting everything done in time for that special day.

Thank you so so much to everyone who has ordered, liked and shared posts. The Bots and I are so very grateful to you all for supporting our little business and we want you to know that we think you’re all fantabulous ♥️

Any orders placed from today onwards will be done after next weekend xx

01/03/2024

I’ve not got many slots left for orders to be with you in time for Mother’s Day and Monday morning is the cut off so that I have time to make them and pop them in the post.

So if you’d like a little character to give to your special Mum, take a look at my website (link in bio) and they will all be sitting very patiently ready for you. 😉♥️

28/02/2024

Just a quick ‘hello’ from us to see if you’re all doing ok.

That’s all really. Luv ya!

Byeeeee!

With the Bots favourite day just around the corner, it’s been a super busy week in the BoFlo workshop.

The excitement is building with all hands on deck getting Bots, Bugs ‘n Puds packed up and sent out to you super lovely customers.

The last day for ordering for these little guys (within the UK) is this Thursday to make sure they definitely get to you in time for Valentines.

We are so so grateful to you all for your amazing support x♥️x♥️x

We’re back!

Just in time for Valentine’s, a small ‘Bots of Love’ drop just for you!

Bots n’ bots of love

It’s with a lot of consideration and thought that I’ve had to take the difficult decision of shrinking down BoFlo to make the room for a full time job.

Times have been tough for so many small businesses out there and we all try to limp along and make it work. With bills going up and orders going the opposite way, it’s time for me to make the decision I’ve been putting off.

So, this is my plan…

I’m going to close my website, all the stock has already been moved over to Etsy. Everything there has already been made and is ready to go. Once the stock has dwindled and if I have time, I may, and I will definitely, try to make some odd bits and bobs, perhaps do a monthly ‘drop’ of sorts.

I hope you are able to keep following me as I very much hope to return in the future (like a phoenix rising from the ashes) but in the meantime, we will all be here, in the shadows, waiting for our time.

I want to thank all of you who are reading this, who have supported me here and those who have placed orders. I thank you from the bottom of my heart I really do.

If you fancy anything I have left in stock for a Xmas pressie, pop along to Etsy, they will all be there for you to browse.

I wish you all a merry Christmas and we will be back! 😉♥️

I loved making this little guy this week. Seeing him just standing there looking at me, he really made me smile.

If you’d love something a bit different from the ones you see on my website, let me know and I’ll see if I can make it. I do love a challenge.

18/11/2023

This little guy was made for a 10th Wedding Anniversary.

Birthday Bots holding a number are also really popular and some people buy them for their copper Anniversary, either the 7th or 9th depending whether in UK or USA.

I love these little teethy guys, so cute.

Just pop me a message if you’d like one 😉

Photos from BoFlo's post 17/11/2023

We’ve been a bit quiet on here for a while so I thought it was about time I actually got my act together to do a post!

So, here he is, a small lucky sixpence Christmas Pud. He was super popular last year so I thought I’d do some more.

He’ll be available to buy in Etsy and on the Website next Friday but in the meantime, if you’d like to snap one up, I have 5 available and they are £23 plus £4 postage, just send me a little message 😉

Photos from BoFlo's post 04/11/2023

A very special thank you to .drummond for asking me to make this for your special day. I do love making these little jewellery Bots 🥰 so thank you so much xx

I’ve got room for a couple more commissions before Christmas, so if anyone would like something like this or maybe something else just ping me through a message 😉♥️

1963 Coins seem to be the flavour of the month so far with lots of 60th birthday’s coming up!

I’ve got lots of different 1963 coins in stock so I can do most of my characters using one if you’d like something a bit diff to give someone on their special day.

Drop me a message if you like 😊♥️♥️

Mmmm juicy!

We love foraging, even if it just from the hedge surrounding our home. We had loads of blackberries this year, put quite a few in the freezer to save for future blackberry and apple crumbles 😋 my all time fave!!

Big celebrations 🥳🎉 as our lovely, kind and gentle Bonnie is 15 years old today!!!

That means she’s around 85 human years, or there abouts!!

Bonnie is an integral part of BoFlo, after all, it’s partly named after her so we wanted to celebrate this special day with all you lovely people by doing a little…

All you need to do is pop in the code:
“BONNIE15” at the checkout.

Although she’s a bit deaf (well, we think she is or it could just be that she’d rather ignore us and do her own thing) she’s still loving life and wanders round the garden inspecting things and making sure all is well.

Happy Birthday you lovely pooch you! 🥰
