Flower pressing is a beloved art form that preserves the beauty of the nature around you. Our Smith Caitlin Gerdes owner of Pressed Flower Shop has been pressing flowers for the past 10 years, continually.  She pressed her first flowers almost 20 years ago as a little girl and hasn't stopped creating beautiful pressed floral art.

Keepsake boxes are a wonderful way to capture those special, treasured moments for a lifetime. Caitlin created a keepsake box from her wedding day. Using the flowers from her bridal bouquet, even though the flowers have been saved for 3 years, she was able to reconstruct them with the petals she pressed. The interior is made from Caitlin's wedding invitations and pressed baby's breath from the guest tables. It is ready to be filled with loving cards and sentimental gifts from their wedding day.

Beautiful botanical jewelry, earrings, rosebud necklaces, gold framed glass floating art, daisy resin jewelry holders and decorative book marks are all one of a kind pieces. All beautiful gifts and keep sakes from mother nature. Each piece is handmade by Caitlin and Pressed Flower Shop that can be found at the Mercantile.

If you would like to learn how to get started on pressing your own flowers, Caitlin is teaching the basic methods of flower pressing, you can make your own piece of art with the Pressed Flower workshop!
