My name is Barbara Gaffney and I started Everlastings Pressed Flowers 20 years ago. We specialize in preserving wedding and funeral flowers. Our flowers arrive from all over the country via overnight express. I love the feeling it gives me when customers tell me how much the enjoy their keepsakes for many years!

Barbara, I do remember you stopping in to my shop. Hope you are doing well. New Hampshire is absolutely lovely this time of year!
Christi, I am glad you remembered me. I will be going to the other coast this year as i might work 1 or 2 days in a flower shop in Ft. Myers. I see your progressive (from your posts) and wonder if you would like to be the only florist to offer floral preservation (not talking of you buying expensive equiptment)? Keepsake in Orlando is the only one right now. I teach a 3 day class designed for florists who want to add this in their mix. If every order going out of your shop has a card on it saying if they want to keep their flowers, that YOU preserve! I have been in business 20 years and do well over 100 weddings each year..... This is good for florists to utilize your designers during those slow times. I can send some info if you want to consider it! If you cant take 3 straight days, I can split it up for you.... Last year I went out to Arkansas to teach 2 folks.... Glad to see your doing so well in such a short time! Ill put a little sample in the mail to you! All my best to you! Barbara

Thank you for thinking of me Barb, but that is not something I am interested in right now. I have a very good friend who works in Orlando doing this and I love referring the work to her. Best of luck to you in all your endeavors.

Where did you go in Arkansas? I have brides ask for this kind of thing and don't have anyone to tell them about. It would be great if the Arkansas people are close to me (I'm in northwest AR).
