pressing Sweet Alyssum, one blossom at a time!

Let me tell you a little about myself
and my company.
I left a 30 year nursing career to finally follow
my dream.......''working for myself doing something that I REALLY
enjoy!''.
I have always loved flowers and gardening.
I also had a great love of making stained glass
items.
Dreamingly,
I said to myself one day "Hmmm,
what shall I be when I grow up"
After much planning and trial and error, I came up with a combination of
my two loves!
I learned how to press the flowers I grew and
put them artfully between glass I cut.
I then silver soldered the edging, just like in making a Tiffany Lamp!
My designs have certainly evolved over the 14 years since I began my Buttermilk Lane company.
I greatly
enjoy growing my cultivated flowers and
gathering up the
scrumptious supply of Maine's wild flowers. I pick the flowers at their
prime and press with special techniques to ensure vivid lasting colors.
As well as my internet site, I enjoy selling my jewelry products at
various retail shows, as well as maintaining a growing wholesale market.
