About Us A sign of aging is when you
frequent Wal Mart as often as the local funeral home. In 2003,
I was attending a funeral and noticed the many wilted and
faded flowers at the cemetery. I thought there must be some
type of silk flowers that last longer. I started the Google
search and found only plastic flowers that looked awful and
unnatural. I also found that there were no good alternatives,
and a lot of false claims about the weathering ability of silk
flowers.
So I started testing all the coating products
from Home Depot and the hardware stores. Nothing worked well,
all the coatings were too shiny and smelled like varnish. This
started the quest for a durable, natural-looking coating.
After three years of testing, we finally found a suitable
scented coating and started inquiring overseas for a
manufacturer. In Hong Kong and China where 95% of all silk
flowers are made, we found that they would either steal the
concept, or they didn’t want to make silks that last longer.
They want us to keep buying them when they wear out. That’s
why there are 242,000 silk flower importers. Since silk
flowers were never designed to really be used outdoors, we
decided to make and sell our coated products using the Web. I
personally find it very difficult to visit my parents at the
cemetery, one visit a year is about all I can handle. But I
would like to keep a nice looking display for family and
friends that can visit often. If you are in need of our
product, we know the sadness and sorrow that you feel, and
hope that these flowers will ease the pain a little and be a
lasting tribute to your loved ones.
