Surrounded by flowers

I have the best job! Once a week, we receive a shipment of fresh flowers. Some weeks, we get 250 stems, other weeks we get 700 stems. Each one is trimmed and dried to eventually be made into handmade paper, either Cotton & Petals, Abaca & Petals or our plantable Garden Greetings seed paper.

The flowers are gorgeous and smell great. I love running my fingers through the boxes just after the stems have been cut. The petals feel silky smooth, totally luxurious. What an amazing job this is!!
