Anna Potter's Instagram picks

Lottie Storey June 16, 2015

Anna Potter is the founder of Swallows and Damsons, a Sheffield flower shop that's a treasure trove of natural, seasonal flowers, rustic posts and curiosities. 

Anna describes her day in cups of tea on page 58 of June's The Simple Things, saying her favourite way to switch off is to head to Instagram.

"I dive into my Instagram world and immerse myself in the most beautiful flower feeds and inspiration."

Follow Anna's Instagram account at @swallowsanddamsons for more of her beautifully blowsy blooms (above) and dramatic vignettes (below).

Anna's favourite Instagram florists are @putnamflowers (above) and @saipua (below), both based in New York.

Anna also loves bloggers' favourite, @designsponge (below) - it's easy to see why.

 

If you don't already, head over to Instagram and follow @simplethingsmag for snaps from your favourite magazine.

 

June's The Simple Things is available from all good newsagents, supermarkets and our official online store. Sold out? Download it from Apple Newsstand or subscribe now.

The Simple Things

Taking time to live well

We celebrate slowing down, enjoying what you have, making the most of where you live, enjoying the company of of friends and family, and feeding them well. We like to grow some of our own vegetables, visit local markets, rummage for vintage finds, and decorate our home with the plunder. We love being outdoors and enjoy the satisfaction that comes with a job well done.
