The Story of
Faith in Bloom
About the founder~
"Many years ago, a friend of mine showed me her rosary that was made using flowers from her dad's funeral. The beads of the rosary were somehow made from the dried funeral flowers. That was the minute I decided to do that for my siblings when my mom died. My mother died when she was almost 99, so I asked relatives to save and dry flowers from her funeral and to send them to me. I went on to research how I could go about making the flowers into beads. After a lot of research, experimentation and some failures, I finally figured out how to do it. I gave my siblings and extended family rosaries or bracelets out of the beads from my mom's flowers. My family was so grateful to have these items to remember my mom. I have had the opportunity to create mementos for others to commemorate a person’s life or any special occasion. Recently I passed the business on to my daughter, Julie. I have faith that we will be able to create more mementos for generations to come."

"A few years ago, my mom decided to show me how all of the items were made. I was so excited to learn how to make such special keepsakes. I love being creative and having the ability to personalize each piece to bring back special memories. Thank you for allowing us to preserve these memories for you."
