Just want to let you know that I really have been updating new pictures on a regular basis but the wordpress is not working correctly.  It apparently has a few bugs and one of them is by not letting me “sort” my pictures in the order of my preference or write comments anymore.  Since I am not a computer geek I have no idea how to proceed to fix this.  But, at any rate, if you look past the first pictures you’ll see new ones being added in toward the middle of the first page.

Frustration does not have to be the death of me though!  I refuse to let it ruin my day!

Have a glorious day folks……we have yet another beautiful day in Pennsylvania and that says a lot.  I intend on putting a full day in my studio.  Much work to accomplish!!!

Blessings,

Anne

Roses were placed on the altar in memory of 3 special grandparents.

It is, indeed, wedding season.  The question is, how many out there know that people like me exist that can save their flowers?  Just because I think about it all the time doesn’t mean the rest of the world is thinking about this. 

So here is your gentle reminder…….it’s wedding season………don’t forget to find someone who can save your flowers from your special day.  Too pricey?  I know that I have several options to fit all budgets………..ranging from $25.00 to several hundred (if that’s what you should choose).  The important thing is that something is saved that will give you a treasured memory for years to come.

So, remember me, Anne Bruening Originals, so that I can remember your event in a most special way.

This order was a thrill for me to do.  Why?  (more…)

It is cloudy and the temperature is comfortable.  I’ll be leaving for praise team practice soon and a morning at church.  During the summer I get to have a little extra time off from my Sunday mornings.  During the year I am the chancel choir director and the handbell director which means my Sunday mornings are taken up with me running around trying to find my music for the service.  (Of course I would do much better if I would de-clutter my life a bit more).  But now I’m much more relaxed.  I have no responsibility in the  music realm til September and I can just go to church and soak up the message that’s waiting for me.

May your Sunday be relaxed and your heart filled with God’s love and know that He loves you and everything that you are and are becoming.

Blessings,

Anne

Bridal Bouquet preserved

I’m sure you’ve noticed in your life that whatever you’re involved in at the time it seems like everyone else is too.  For example,  when I was pregnant with my first born child I was suddenly surrounded by pregos everywhere.  It seemed like the whole world was pregnant.  You catch my drift!  The same happens in the business world I believe. 

It has been my opinion, until I spoke with a fellow comrade who felt differently, that everyone knows about floral preservation.  I’m now learning that perhaps this is not the case.  Lately I’ve signed up on several wedding websites only to see that they have no category for floral preservation…..huh?  You see, when I look up floral preservation on the internet, my computer automatically attracts all the different websites of people who do what I do……..and yet I am discovering that many in the wedding industry do not even acknowledge this business.  This could explain why I get so many calls on a Monday from a frantic mother left with instructions to “find someone who can save this”.  Had they been informed to begin with they wouldn’t have had to call around to 10 or so different flower shops to see if they do it or know anyone who does.

So there you have it.  I would certainly welcome thoughts and ideas that you might have to help spread the word of this particular industry.  There’s nothing like a good brainstorming session to get the creative juices flowing.

In the meantime……..have a great Sunday, and a great Father’s day, and a wonderful day in God’s beautiful world!

Blessings,

Anne
