Naomi Dabreo recently returned from France, having spent five years in the Vendée as a wedding planner. After retraining with florist Jamie Aston in London, she has now combined her passion for interior design with her love of flowers in a new venture: Maison Verte.

When Naomi first saw the charming premises of No. 1 Church Street in Finedon in the December snow, her heart was sold! The shop lends itself to beautiful interior with its high ceilings and decorative front windows, and Naomi is already so excited about dressing them for the festive season. Maison Verte opened at the beginning of May and fits in perfectly with the complementary businesses of neighbouring Jane Efford Health & Beauty, Alicia, Sirens, The Bridal Gallery and Affleck Bridge Antiques.

At Maison Verte you will find a range of gift items and home accessories handpicked by Naomi, starting from as little as £2.50. You will also find pieces of furniture sourced in the UK and France, from console tables to dining chairs. There will only ever be one or two pieces of each item available as Naomi likes to keep the stock refreshed to make it more interesting for her customers.

Flowers are available by the stem or as hand-tied bouquets presented in beautiful, coloured paper bags ranging from £12 to £40. Naomi also makes corporate flower displays for local businesses such as hairdressers and dentists.

Wedding flowers are her speciality and she can assist with a full wedding plan if required. Naomi is also planning on running floristry courses and parties for children to pass on the flower bug.

You can browse in the tastefully decorated shop or simply relax at the custom-built zinc bar with a cup of tea or espresso at £1.30 or a speciality coffee from the Gaggia at £1.95, all very Continental. A selection of tempting ‘naughties’ are displayed on glass  stands: croissants at 95p and home-made cakes at £2.25 a slice.

At weekends, the cakes are supplied by a patisserie chef in Finedon, who is also well known for his hand-made chocolates. Weather permitting you can sit outside and enjoy an iced tea or coffee at £2.15, or a refreshing San Pellegrino or Belvoir Elderflower.

On Friday 28th June, Naomi is hosting a Champagne & Canapé evening from 5-8pm to celebrate the opening of Maison Verte. For readers who receive Village Connect in time, please feel welcome to join but kindly RSVP by telephone or email in advance.

Opening hours are Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 4pm and every second and last Sunday of the month from 11am to 3pm.
