As part of our sustainability efforts, we rarely throw out flowers. Once they are nearing their sell-by date, we dry them, donate them to Unionvilla or press them. So we have a vast collection of pressed flowers. And we want to give you time to play on a relaxed Sunday Afternoon. We'll provide the large matted frame, the blank card stock, the glue and the inspo. And we'll provide the guidance, space and time to unleash your creativity.
