In this day and age where everything is going “green”.  Have you ever thought about recycling your beautiful flowers?  Not the traditional way of throwing them in a ditch, your garden, the corner trash can, or some farmers field.  The recycling that I am talking about is using Your Own Flowers to be handmade into forever Keepsakes.  Yes it can be done. 

I have experienced it myself, numerous times.  After my mother’s death,  I took the roses from her casket and had beautiful keepsake rosaries  made for all my siblings.  And then after a neighbor’s teenage daughter died in a traffic accident.  I took those beautiful flowers, at the funeral home, and “recycled” them into keepsakes for her mom, dad, and brother in the form of necklaces, tie tacks and keychain.  Again, I had the opportunity to give a meaningful gift, when a young mother was given roses from her husband at the Birth of their First Daughter.  What a special keepsakes for this precious little girl.  Her mother hopes this little girl will use her keepsake on her special Wedding Day.

Over the next few weeks I will be posting different articles regarding the misconceptions as well as what to be looking for when you decide to have keepsakes made from your flowers.  I know you feel the same way I do.  I no longer, what to give gifts, for the sake of giving.  I want to give memories, Heart felt Keepsakes.    Maybe that is why I have fallen in love with this unique “flower recycling company”.
