Welcome to our shop! Thank you for visiting the Flower Place operated by two cousins Thousands of miles separate us, but we are closer than ever before. We haven't seen each other in 7 years, but we manage to talk on Skype a few times a week. Kristina lives in Lithuania. She makes the flowers. She comes up with new designs, makes color patterns, prepares the leather-the whole nine yards. I live in Philadelphia, and i am only learning to work with leather. Crochet hook and knitting needles are easier for me to handle ;) *** these leather flowers will last you a lifetime if cared for properly. Actually, they don't need that much care, they just don't like water. Leather will not change the shape or form and layers will not separate unless submerged in water.
