Local floral boutique The Bloom Bar blossoms in San Marcos - Community Impact Newspaper

Kayli Head, owner and lead designer of The Bloom Bar in San Marcos, proves that one does not need a green thumb to pursue a career in the floral business.“I was always in my mom’s garden and I loved flowers, but [my passion]sparked when I was 14 [years old]in my high school floral design class at school. I just really picked [it]up quickly,” Head said.Head describes The Bloom Bar as a wedding and event boutique floral studio that specializes in garden-style weddings. A majority of the flowers Head receives are shipped from Los Angeles with a few local wholesalers in the Hill Country and Austin.After working freelance for a few flower shops and the San Marcos Main Street Program, Head decided in March 2016 to open her own shop in her garage before moving to her brick-and-mortar shop in June 2016.“I bought some flowers and took [bouquets to]some wedding planners, and that’s literally how I got started,” Head said. “My friends and my family believed in me far before I believed in myself because it’s super scary to go out on your own. Now that I am in it, it’s not as scary. Great people have joined my team. Great clients have entered into my life. It feels all very magical sometimes.”The Bloom Bar offers classes on basic floral design as well as flower crown design and wreath creations, with prices ranging from $40-$125. Pop-up shops called Flower Happy Hour are also offered.“People have asked me, ‘Are you afraid someone is going to steal your secrets?’ But everyone deserves to have pretty flowers in their home. I’m just teaching techniques to do that. It’s a community-over-competition-type of vibe for me,” Head said.Nearly two years in business, Head said she looks forward to expanding her design team in the future while being more strategic on the type of projects the company takes, so The Bloom Bar can take on more unique, design-intense projects.Inspired by the good vibes of the San Marcos community, Head said she is “forever grateful” that she gets to do a job that not only brings joy to her team but also to other people.“We really try to infuse [our work]with love,” Head said. “I feel like the energy in this place goes right into the flowers. Every bride, every client means so much to me because they are supporting me having this life.” The Bloom Bar123 S.

Floral-shop killer has behaved in prison. The parole board wasn't impressed. - SILive.com

Morales is serving 25 years to life for the Mother's Day 1991 murder of retired police detective Jasper (Jerry) DeMarco in the victim's Mariners Harbor floral shop.DeMarco, 46, was shot once in the chest on May 12, 1991, during what a jury found was a botched robbery of his store, Forget Me Not Florist and Gifts, on Forest Avenue. Steven Morales was denied parole for the 1991 slaying of a floral shop owner. Morales was convicted in June 1993, after a two-week trial in state Supreme Court, St. George.Witnesses identified him as being outside the store just minutes before the shooting, and wearing the same clothes as the culprit, the Advance reported.Witnesses inside the shop said a man wearing a gray hoodie, dark sunglasses and a red bandanna walked in and fired once. The shooter ran out after an exchange of gunfire that ended with DeMarco, the father of two young children, slumped behind the counter.Morales' sister-in-law testified she overheard conversations about the crimes and saw the defendant in possession of a gun.The firearm, which prosecutors said was a .44-caliber Magnum, was never found.At the defendant's sentencing, a justice told Morales his half-brother, Roberto Gonzalez, the getaway car driver, had implicated himself and Morales in a confession to police.Gonzalez’s admission, however, was not used against Morales at trial.Still, Morales remained resolute, maintaining his innocence, despite the conviction."I stand before you convicted, but I am totally innocent of the charges, Your Honor," Morales told the judge. Steven Morales was sentenced to 25 years to life in June of 1993. Gonzalez, 52, was also convicted of murder in November 1993.

Keeping things natural come Hell or High Water - Enumclaw Courier-Herald

The Enumclaw couple are using their cash award to purchase a pair of Great Pyrenees dogs that will watch over a pasture of laying hens. The pups are on order from an Idaho breeder and will provide a natural means of protecting chickens from aerial predators, coyotes and anything else seeking a free meal. “Small and mid-sized sustainable farms are essential to meeting consumer demand for humanely-raised food,” said Larissa McKenna, the director of FACT’s humane farming program. But the reality, she said, is that small operations face financial challenges due to high costs associated with economies of scale. “Our organization supports farms like Hell or High Water Farm by funding projects that improve animal welfare and also help farmers increase their profit margins,” she said. WHERE IT ALL BEGAN A decade ago, while apartment dwellers in Seattle’s Lower Queen Anne neighborhood, the Helfricks took a rather simple step. They began filling abandoned planters with heirloom tomatoes, pumpkins, strawberries and blueberry plants; it was all for personal use but launched a life of producing organic, locally-sourced vegetables and herbs. Within a few years, the couple were urban homesteaders, having advanced to a rented home in Seattle. From their Wallingford neighborhood, they had backyard chickens and had added grapes, hops, flowers and fruit trees to their growing operation. It was clear they were destined for something more than being hobby farmers, growing for their own table. A key transition came in 2015 when Kevin participated in the Organic Farming Education Program, offered by Tilth Alliance. Located in Auburn, it offers education for beginner farmers and serves as a business incubator. For three years, he grew vegetables and flowers and kept flocks of laying hens at Tilth’s Red Barn Ranch. “It was nice being around like-minded individuals,” Kevin says of his relationship with Tilth.A commercial customer stops by Hell Or High Water Farm, picking up an order of 25 dozen eggs.
