My course with Barb was so complete that I had started my business within one week of returning to Canada, Floral Heirlooms. I had my first order within two days of starting my business, with a recommendation from a florist that I had had the opportunity show her some of the completed samples brought back with me from Merrimac. The course was both informative and a great deal of fun. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone who has an interest in flowers and art to take a week, enjoy yourself and learn a new skill, that can make you money at the same time.

Barbara,

I met you nine years ago when you did my mother's funeral flower pic.  In fact I saw it on your website. My cousin Annmarie Morse will be contacting you for she is in the process of making arrangements for her daughter and she definitely wants a preservation done. Barbara, I am so glad that you are still doing these pictures and I know from my own experience I love my preservations and they hold a special place in our home. Hope all is well with you.

Sincerely,

Sherri Edwards

Barbara,

You have a beautiful gift and talent. I just received your work today. They are all beyond beautiful. Thank you for being in this world to spread joy through your gift. Have the best of holidays and I will be seeing you again when my next child or family event arrives.

God bless you.

Hi Barb,

I just want to let you know how much I love my framed flowers!!!! They look awesome…looking at how delicate those flowers are I can imagine it was quite the challenge but you just did a wonderful job... thank you so much and thank you for sticking with me as I figured everything out! I will make sure I recommend you to anyone else who is getting married.

Barb,

I just wanted to let you know that I received the flowers and they are absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much. I can't wait to display it. It means so much to have them preserved for display in our house.

Thank you so much,

Jen

I just got my bouquet yesterday and it is absolutely beautiful! I love how the dried flowers look antique because they darkened. I think you did a fabulous job, and a special thank you for the potpourri! What scent is it? Again Thank you so much, I can't wait to show my family when they come over for our Christmas Party! Have a great day, and enjoy your Holidays!!

Barb,

I just wanted to let you know how much my daughter absolutely loved the beautiful arrangement you created for her wedding bouquet. She commented that it will most surely be a family heirloom in the years to come. You are truly a gifted artist! She will be recommending your sevices to her friends in the future. We were wondering what happened to your website?

Thanks so much from Philadelphia and Wisconsin.

Hi Barbara: I couldn't wait to email you to advise that your package arrived today and everything is just beautiful! I can't believe those were Ellice's flowers!  Thank you also for the bookmark; are those mine and my husband's flowers? We never expected that; just the frame and tile. This is the first permanent memory we have of the wedding; we haven't picked out any formal pictures yet!  Thank you so very much for this beautiful memory!
