Albright Centennial Farm at the Jamestown General Store

The story begins 29 years ago on my family's Centennial Farm established in 1860. I built the business from seed to field to harvest with my original creations of dried  floral arrangements. Growing for 16 years, while selling at local Farmer's Market and craft shows, I was able to expand my business into a local historical building.  Now, 15 years later in the Jamestown General Store, circa 1869, I have evolved the business by adding a great gift selection and home decor, done with a European flair, while my silk and dried floral arrangements still keep their unique and personal touch. From June to December, I still attend craft shows and the fields at my farm have now turned into a lavender crop, which has been inspired by my long distance walks through northern Spain and France.

Albright Centennial Farm is a private residence located in , Michigan. This is  where the lavender is grown and the arrangements are made.

Jamestown General store is located in Jamestown, Michigan. This is where you can find home decor, gifts and arrangements that change with the seasons.

I do Craft shows along the Michigan Lakeshore including Holland, Grand Haven, Pentwater, Ludington and Grand Rapids.

I also do the Sauerkraut Festival in Waynesville, Ohio.

The biggest joy in owning my own business has been the people I have met and have since become friends.  I'm always thinking of new ideas.  I am inspired by spending two months out of the year in Europe and Great Britain and occassional trips to my farm in North Dakota. My gifts, home decor and floral arrangements that I create for my customers all reflect my time spent in these regions.
