Stylish arrangements in larger vases

Stylishly arranging flowers in a large vase can be challenging. You need a lot of flowers to fill up the neck, and it requires a skilled and artful hand to set the stems just right.
The Flower Constellations we developed so far, are too small for those vases, which is why we got a lot of requests for a larger version. We hear you!

Spanning a maximum diameter of 16 cm (6.3") the Ophiuchus Constellation is a perfect fit for larger vases, 
for example those for field fresh flowers or those vases that Dutch Designer made for that Swedish furniture company.

The Ophiuchus Constellation is not only larger when it comes to diameter, it also has wider holes, suitable for thicker stemmed flowers and small branches.

The thirteenth star sign ​

​Ophiuchus or 'Snakebearer' is called the thirteenth star sign, because, just as the 12 signs of the Zodiac, it crosses the sun's path (Ecliptica).
The official period of Ophiuchus would be between November 30th and December 18th.
Because we cut the Zodiac year in 12 equal parts, Ophiuchus didn't make it as one of the signs on the Zodiac.
We did not forget about this star sign and by making it a Flower Constellation, we're giving it a place on our flowery ecliptica.

Just as its smaller Flower Constellation relatives, the Ophiuchus Constellation is made of durable brass,. 
Its size is a step up from the larger Zodiac Constellations and fits vases with diameters ranging from 12,5 to 16 cm (4.9"-6.3"). 
Order Ophiuchus now!

We're nearly there!
​
​Will you help us get Ophiuchus out there?

Crowdfunding 2.0

We went ahead and ordered a small stock of brass Ophiuchus Constellations. This means that when you order an Ophiuchus, there's no waiting involved: We'll ship immediately and you can start arranging flowers right away. 

The only difference to the final product is the package it comes in.
This time we're not actually crowdfunding for the product itself, but for its casing. In order to be able to sell the Ophiuchus Constellation in stores, we need proper and beautiful packaging, and that's what we're saving up for with this 'pre-sale'.

With your support we're confident we can get Ophiuchus ready for stores around the world this fall. ​

What you can do

Order Ophiuchus now! 

You'll be the very first receiving our XL Flower Constellation, and with that our eternal gratitute for your help getting the Ophiuchus ready for a successful international launch.
And that's not all! To celebrate the launch of this new Flower Constellation XL, we have a very special deal: instead of the regular €29,95, we're launching the Ophiuchus on our webshop for €25,-!

Plus, because we love wildflowers and happy bees, we'll also add a package of Bee Happy Wildflowerseeds to your order free of charge (EU only).

Other things that would make us very happy

Not ready to order but excited to help? Great!
It would be of enormous value for us if you could help us get our new Ophiuchus Constellation known to the world: Spread the word! 

Tell your friends and family: finally a solution to use large vases (for example those from that fresh flower service) to set up luxurious arrangements without spending a small fortune at the florists'.
Together with Masha Bakker Photography  we took gorgeous photographs of the Ophiuchus, and with the correct credits (@mashabakkerphotography @houseofthol) and a hashtag (#ophiuchus #flowerconstellations) we'd love it if you share them on social media. 

Got other great ideas about how you can help? Looking to collaborate?
Get in touch! We'd love to chat.

The ball vs The head: why we might be slower than usual

7/5/2019

0 Comments

 
A little personal heads up for those of you who got in touch with us in the past weeks and haven't heard back as soon as usual..
House of Thol is running normally, but we might be a little slow when it comes to answering e-mails.

Let me tell you why: One of us (me, Jana) loves to play football. I have done that as a sport ever since i was little.
For about 25 years, my most serious injuries were bruised ankles and a broken metacarpel: no biggy.
Picture
But... during a match in late March a ball hit me really hard on the temple and caused a concussion.

The reason i'm writing this blogpost, is that the healing process is taking longer than we hoped, and might take a while still.


So: just in case you got in touch and you didn't hear back from us yet: my sincere apologies: we'll get to it as soon as we can!

Hey Mama! - This years' Mothersday special

For mothers who love to let flowers bloom

Mothersday is around the corner! 
​Does your mother like flowers?
​Gift her a Flower Constellation this weekend so she can create stunning floral masterpieces every time while saving on flowers.

Because we are huge fans of mothers in general, (and ours in particular), we designed special Mother-celebrating Bee Happy Growing cards for Mothersday.

With these cards, you're not only sending your mom a sweet message, you're also giving her a delayed bouquet of flowers. ​
The cards have been printed on Growing paper: 240gr recycled paper that contains wildflower seeds.
 
To germinate the seeds, lay the paper in moist soil, place in a sunny spot, cover with a thin layer of earth and keep moist. 
Depending on the kind of seed in the paper, you'll see the first tiny green leaves pop out of the earth after about ten days.

With your order of a Flower Constellation or Waterworks-set in our webshop, you can add a Mothersday card for free!

Which one is your favorite?

Picking flowers: Flow publication

"Da's slim"

Rarely did we get so many friends telling us they saw our Flower Constellations in a magazine as we did with this mention in Flow magazine. :-)

We're super excited to be in the gorgeous publication since we love the quality and feel of the magazine. 
It should still be in stores now, and comes with a super nice notebook (that i'm actually using at this moment). 

Thank you Flow, for the spotlight!
