Floral design and gift shop is Colorado Springs native's dream - Colorado Springs Gazette

During a recent break from her corporate job to care for an ailing family member, Colorado Springs native Cathy Berdon had a change of heart about going back to the office. She decided, after a lot of soul searching, to instead pursue her lifelong dream of owning her own business.On June 30, she opened Carriage House Designs, 723 N. Nevada Ave., a full-service florist and gift shop.The charming 1899 house she bought probably was never a carriage house, but the name hearkens back to Berdon's childhood, when she and her siblings played in a friend's carriage house in the Old North End - not far from her new shop. "I just love this part of town. It's a great location," she said. "From here we can attract students from Colorado College and residents from the North End. We also have a ton of clients from Mountain Shadows, Peregrine and The Broadmoor neighborhoods."Berdon said she knew a downtown or shopping center site wouldn't be right for her vision. She sought out the quaint multi-room home with a large re... https://gazette.com/life/floral-design-and-gift-shop-is-colorado-springs-native-s/article_480fe80d-37e6-515c-b78d-de049d4293f6.html

Man Says Indianapolis Florist Denied Him Service Over Gay Marriage - Newsweek

Many people in the LGBT community feared that the law could be used to discriminate against people for their sexual orientation, The Indiana Star reported.In June, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that a Colorado baker had the constitutional right to deny service to a gay couple in 2012 because of his religious beliefs. The owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, Jack Phillips, refused to sell a wedding cake to Charlie Craig and David Mullins, a gay couple. The couple filed a complaint with the Colorado Civil Rights Commission and claimed Phillips was discriminating against the two based on their sexual orientation. Phillips said he wouldn’t sell them the cake due to his religious beliefs. The Supreme Court sided with Phillips, saying "the reason and motive for the baker's refusal were based on his sincere religious beliefs and convictions."This story has been updated to include comment from David Elliott. .node-type-article .article-body p:last-of-type::after, .node-type-slideshow .article-body p:last-of-type::after{content:none}... https://www.newsweek.com/man-denied-service-florist-gay-marriage-1040569

Mothers Day weekend was triple its typical market share. Some of the current best sellers in the category according to LeafLink are Muscle Freeze CBD by Mary's Medicinals of California, Body Balm by Colorado company Nordic Goddess and Extra Strength Dragon's Balm created by Oregon’s Medicine Farm. Unsurprisingly, the top ten sellers all came from states where recreational use is allowed, along with medical use. The unofficial cannabis holiday April 20th saw sales jumps in different categories.  According to  Flowhub, during the weekend, nearly 150k pre-rolled joints were sold. Overall, flower sales dominated 420, accounting for 54.1% of total sales. The second best selling product category was concentrates at 30.8%, followed by edibles at 11.3%. Even mothers in more conservative states may be soon in possession of marijuana gifts. Marijuana Moment reported that the Texas House of Representatives just voted to approve a marijuana decriminalization bill. https://www.forbes.com/sites/julieweed/2019/04/30/never-mind-flowers-marijuana-might-be-2019s-hot-mothers-day-gift/
