Suspended In Time® Blog

MaryLee has worked for Suspended In Time ever since before it began!  In the Spring of 1996 she had just finished her 28th treatment of radiation for breast cancer, it was her birthday and her sweet husband  brought her a beautiful bouquet of porcelain peach roses.  She was very pleased.  She hardly ever bought flowers because they died so quickly.  After dealing with life and death realities for such a long time, she wanted those flowers to LIVE!!  She started experimenting with the flowers themselves.  She wanted to always keep them and feel of the love that had come with them.  Now, after nearly fifteen years we have a full blown business named Suspended In Time, Inc.
MaryLee is the owner of Suspended In Time, Inc. and what she most likes about working at Suspended In Time, Inc. is the fact that our method of drying is so exceptional.  The flowers are dry in three to five days, the flowers do not have time to deteriorate!  When preserved, the flowers look as if they are still standing in water!  She also loves seeing the happy faces and joy when customers pick up their many special occasion flowers.  She also feels happy when we have fully trained individuals on how to do this business opportunity in their own homes or store fronts!  (At the price of an old used car, with four flat tires and all the windows knocked out)
Her favorite flowers are without question roses, daffodils, and lilies.  They all preserve beautifully with this method.  She even loves strange flowers she finds and dries from total strangers front yards, with their permission of course!  In the little free time she does have she loves being with her sweetheart and tending her sweet grandchildren.  She would also like to mention that coming to work is a sincere joy!  The people we work with are so good in their labors and have kind thoughtful personalities.  We also have several pleasant and fun loving Dealer’s across the United States that makes coming to work not even seem like work.
