Preserved flowers

As a young kid, I still remember opening an encyclopedia at home, only to have a dried lifeless flower fall out and crumble once it hit the floor. Who knew how long they were in that book. If I had Forever Flowers at that time, my family would have known which flowers work best.

This easy-to-read book has suggestions for what flowers to grow, and how to properly press and store them.
After completing those steps, that's when the fun starts. Over 35 step-by-step projects are included: making jewelry, decorative dishes and coasters, and candles are just a few.

So check out this creative book before shopping for flowers to plant in your garden. It'd be a great way of preserving your memories of summertime. You won't be sorry.

This is also a great book for those who are getting married who might want to make a beautiful keepsake.

Forever Flowers can be found on the second floor under the call number 745.928 PEI.
