Hubby Got me these flowers last year around this time…And I just took the picture on Monday of this week. Don’t the look fantastic! They have kept this long and hopefully they keep a lot longer. Granted that 6 little hands don’t get a hold of them anytime soon.!~ So do you want to know my secret of keeping these gorgeous roses for so long? Well see someone goes out into the woods a they chop down a big old tree. Then they saw it into boards and then some craftsman comes along and chooses a board that is just right. He then takes his tools and works with his hands. He shaves off wood until he has each petal. Then he glues them into place..and then paints them and viola..you have wooden roses that will last a lifetime if you take care of them! NO WATER NEEDED!
