Several years ago, Meg received a flower press for her birthday that opened a creative path for her to follow She decided to share her love of flowers with others by creating pieces of original art that one could enjoy all year round. Recently Meg discovered microwave flower pressing and a better method for retaining the color and vitality of her flowers. Custom orders are available upon request.

Meg Perry is also a fine seamstress and she makes purses, pillows, aprons and bibs with vintage materials, trims and laces.

Home is a cottage built in the 1880's in the Dakota Hills of North Central Kansas where she like to say, "You can still hear the earth breathe". Her yard is filled with heirloom plants as well as newly planted perennials and annuals, all cultivated with loving care. When not in the garden, Meg is in her store/studio creating her signature botanical art as well as many other unusual and unique items. When you are in the area, come visit Meg at Blackberry Mercantile, in rural Clay County, Kansas.

In 2007, Meg decided her tiny town needed an Arts and Crafts fair to celebrate the rural surroundings. Thus began the Middle of Nowhere Fair that now takes place in the late Spring and early Fall. The Fair specializes in Kansas made products and Arts & Crafts.

Nov. 8, 2008 The Middle of Nowhere Christmas Fair takes place and booth spaces are available. So please call or email Meg for more information or an application.
