You don’t have to buy my shadowboxes. If you would like to make your own and bring it to me to put the flowers in – well that’s a great plan too. I’m easy! This client did a tremendous job building this beautiful box! And it makes the gift even more special to the receiver! I loved their work so much I just had to post it!
” You’re the expert, I’ll leave it up to you!” That’s what many say to me when we are discussing what a client would like to have done with an arrangement or a shadowbox. In my mind I often want to look behind me to see who they are talking too when they say “you’re the expert…” (more…)

I had grown and dried my own flowers before but this just had never occurred to me before. (more…)

Flowers preserved from a funeral
