Handmade by Tamara

Tamara When Eric was working in Fort Lauderdale, he brought me fresh roses every Friday. Rather than throw them away when they wilted, I dried them and created custom flower baskets and wreaths for my friends, family and myself. Before giving each creation away, I snapped a picture and posted it on this page. These beautiful arrangements each took a few weeks to make, but can last for years! The colors fade and the flowers become brittle over time, but the beauty remains. I always figured this was so much better than simply discarding roses (and other plant materials) after they had "died."
