My new rose venture

This summer I decided to sell wooden roses at local festivals.  It has been so much fun.  I've met so many wonderful people.  Plus, I've been able to witness how roses brighten our lives, mend relationships, and express love to others.  Take a look!



This photo was taken in June at my very first booth in Story City.  There were 20 colors of rose buds to choose from.  By the end of the summer I had 56+ colors to choose from.



Here is a close-up of the rosebuds.  Hot pink and purple are very popular color choices, as well as white, red, and (surprisingly) black!


Every color combination is beautiful!  This bouquet (40 roses) has rosebuds in:
Yellow w/ red tip
Hot pink w/ purple tip
Caribbean blue
