 What they said about the blog

“When you explore Ruth Ridley’s dried flower craft blog, there are a few surprises to be had. With a solo mission to combat the dusty association that dried flowers have with the 70s, she examines numerous ways with the dried buds. Be it in potpourri, aromatherapy, scented pillows, wreaths, arrangements or craft activities, Ruth provides inspirational projects and expertise, despite having no formal floristry training. Her dried flower blog is a perfect accompaniment to her interest in gardening; through the craft she seeks to prolong the beauty of summer and revive the vintage art of flower preservation.”

Thank you so much! Check out the Homemaker website for information about the magazine, and a crafty blog.

I have run a dried flower and lavender business in the UK since 2002. This means I am experienced in dried flower craft, but also am biased towards my own products – I can’t help but be proud of what I do! Find out more about Daisy Gifts Ltd® at our sister site daisyshop.co.uk

Thanks very much to all the lovely people who ask about buying custom handmade arrangements and bouquets – I’m afraid I don’t offer this service anymore, but we do sell the flowers you need to make your own.
