                  Welcome to Buttermilk Lane!!

                  Picture
                  Hello! My name is Ruth Wales and I am the owner, artisan, and web designer of Buttermilk Lane Jewelry. 

                  I have worked as a RN, mostly in critical care, for over 30 years. The work was stressful and heart wrenching. I have always had a love for flowers and gardening and always dreamed of one day making a living by working with things I loved. My business began small with a few wholesale outlets for my pressed flower jewelry. I sold my jewelry at craft shows every weekend, as well as being a vendor at large flower shows, such as The Philadelphia Flower Show. 
                  As my business grew, I gradually weaned myself from nursing to begin my full time "dream career" of working with pressed flowers and designing one-of-a-kind pieces of floral art.
                  I did the craft show circuit for over 14 years and realized I was running myself ragged! 
                  I began concentrating more on my internet business.... and it has flourished.

                  I have been especially successful with my new line of custom memorial jewelry.
                  My empathy of seeing someone lose a loved one within my nursing career has helped me develop a line of memorial items to help comfort and console the families who have lost a loved one.
                  I truly care about each and every person who contacts me about preserving their loved one's funeral flowers.
                  I work hard to make each and every order very special and unique with custom inscriptions and imagery.

                  I still carry my one-of a kind pressed flower earrings, pins, and pendants on this site.

                  Wholesale accounts are welcome for my botanical note cards only! I am no longer accepting new jewelry wholesale accounts.
                  Visit my sister site: The Botanical Studio, where you will find my line of original floral note cards available retail and whoesale.
