MY CREATIVE BRANCH
My Workshop
Hello everyone! My name is Linda DeRyder and I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I have been floral designing for 28 years. It is my passion and I love custom designing for my customers. I have met such wonderful people over the years, which truly makes my "job" special.
I love making unique designs and am always looking for silks that are as close to the real thing as can be. I am an avid gardener so I want my silk flowers to look as if they were picked from the garden.
My husband and I were in upper management for years and are semi-retired (which means we are busier than we have ever been!!). We have given up our real estate business and stay close to home. I indulge in my floral business and my husband is a "getcha" guy. (Everyone says "Hey, can I getcha to fix this or fix that!!) And he loves it. He also is my shipping guy.
Last year, with my floral business, I was supplying quite a few stores in my area, besides working with many designers. But as Ebay has become busier I decided to cut back so I could concentrate more on my online business.
Well, little did I know, what a wonderful place this is and it was just what I was looking for!!
I have slowly taken over my husband's 40x 50 pole barn. As long as I stay out of his workshop he is happy!
I have expanded to working with many designers, having Open Houses, and Custom Designing for my wonderful customers all over the Country and at home..
Thank you all so much!!
