Martha Hancock, a native Texan, handcrafts each
Marthas Everlastings design with loving care, using freshly picked wildflowers from
the Texas hill country, mixed with flowers picked from her own garden. She founded
Martha's Everlastings in March 1996 while on sabbatical with her husband in the Sierra
foothills of Northern California. Wildflowers growing in fields near their Placerville
home inspired Martha to develop her unique pressed flower products. |
| Upon returning to
Texas in June 1997, her love of flowers and desire to make larger numbers of lasting gifts
available to commemorate special occasions encouraged her to expand the product line to
include signed and numbered limited edition prints. No two designs are exactly alike, and
she especially likes to include encouraging Bible verses. |
Marthas background not only qualifies her to perform necessary business tasks, it
also gives her a unique understanding of the type of gifts that people enjoy giving and
receiving. It is this combination of experience and talent that makes Martha's
Everlastings so successful.
Here are some of the goals that Martha has established in her company mission
statement:
 | To produce extremely high-quality, one-of-a-kind works of
art unlike anything else on the market, featuring individual pressed flower designs using
only the finest paper and other materials. |
 | To be a profitable business that is pleasing to God. |
