A Look On The Random Side is a blog run by an old friend of mine from high school.  We’re facebook friends, but otherwise we’ve pretty much lost touch over the last decade or so.  Imagine my surprise when she sent me a message that she had posted a blog entry on my flowers!

Here’s what she had to say:

Perfectly Paper – Handmade Flowers

I hate to put a disclaimer, but I must: I was in no way compensated/persuaded/asked to do this post. I just wanted to share something amazing with my readers, ‘k?

A friend of mine from high school recently started her own business, Perfectly Paper – Handmade Flowers. At first I read her description and thought, “oh, paper flowers…whatev,” thinking they’d be something like the tissue paper flowers we used to make in school…but then I took a look at her product and my jaw dropped.

Take a look at this photo and tell me I’m wrong.

I have never seen hand-painted paper roses look so realistic in my entire life. I wish she was doing this three years ago so I could have bought my wedding bouquet from her. The whole reason I didn’t go with more flowers for my wedding was because of the waste – you spend a ton of money on something that dies a few days later. And you all know how I feel about things that are handmade!

Take a look at her website or her Etsy site. In addition to the amazing flowers you’ll see her new line of greeting cards.

(Seriously…what can’t this girl do?)

Thank you SO much for posting about me!!  I appreciate it more than you know.  Let’s hope that the flower business picks up because I’m feeling pretty wilted lately.
