Our goal is to provide a unique gift and many beautiful vintage items end up in the landfill. We try to either make as many of the floral containers and garden art from vintage materials and refurbish them or upcycle them, allowing ups to keep costs more reasonable and reduce the loss of vintage items to the landfill.

Long-Lasting Beauty: Unlike fresh flowers that wilt within days, these arrangements maintain their vibrant color and shape indefinitely, serving as a permanent piece of home or event decor.
Zero Upkeep: Artificial flowers require no watering, pruning, or sunlight. They are a "set it and forget it" solution, perfect for busy lifestyles or low-light spaces where real plants cannot thrive.
Hypoallergenic & Scent-Free: These blooms are 100% pollen-free, making them a safe and comfortable choice for individuals with hay fever or sensitivities to strong floral fragrances.

Your arrangement will arrive packed in cushioning material and wrapped with with plastic and more cushioning material. Be careful when cutting the box open and gently lift the arrangement out of the box and remove the plastic and wrapping materials.
Tall flowers may be bent from being packed in the box. These can easily be moved back into shape. The website images can help guide placement if needed. Smashed flowers can easily be revived with a couple of methods:
Place in the bathroom on the counter with the door closed, hot water running in the shower for about 10 minutes. The steam will revive the flowers to their original shape.
Use a steam iron on those flowers that are misshapen.
Use a hair dryer on low speed and warm the misshapen flower until it has resumed its original shape.

Currently with the high cost of shipping and tarrifs, we are only shipping to the 48 states in the Continental United States.
-
Free shipping is included in the cost of the item. This allows each customer to know the total cost of the item before tax. Shipping costs fluctuate so much these days with fuel surcharges and everchanging fees from the USPS and carriers, so free shipping puts that burden on me.
