COMPANY INFORMATION:

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 15 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.
I also sell my jewelry and note cards at select retail shops. I am currently accepting new wholesale accounts for my note cards only.
