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

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 rear parking lot and filled several cozy rooms with items to browse."I wanted to rig my inventory the way I like to shop, and that is organized," Berdon said.Individual displays sport baby items, faith gifts, guy gifts, Mr./Mrs. objects, candles, home accents, jewelry, pet supplies and food. One room rotates inventory for holidays."This is really my way of putting all of my loves together... https://gazette.com/life/floral-design-and-gift-shop-is-colorado-springs-native-s/article_480fe80d-37e6-515c-b78d-de049d4293f6.html

A Film Producer's Vibrant Estate Wedding in Napa Valley - Brides

Molly Heussenstamm, who's had a hand in flicks like La La Land and P.S. I Love You, has the actor to thank for her introduction to her new husband, Bron. A trip to a mutual friend's Nevada lake house in September 2016 laid the groundwork for the pair's inevitable romance, and a little over two years later, Bron quietly popped the question at the couple's West Hollywood home on a low-key Friday evening after work. To throw his bride off the trail, he initially gave her a necklace (accompanied by a bit of wine and cheese to lead up to the hype), but later pulled out all the stops with a ring and surprise cameo by Molly's Nashville-based siblings at dinner.Don't let the innocuous proposal fool you, though—Molly and Bron tied the knot in an epically elegant Napa Valley ceremony on July 7, 2018. Incomparably fitting for the bride's profession, Molly describes the stunning venue of choice, a private estate in St. Helena, as "something out of a movie." "Once we saw it, we knew it was meant for us," she adds. "The manicured gardens and property are just gorgeous." And, after planning fell under way, the couple's wedding invitations actually inspired the overall vision fo... https://www.brides.com/story/a-film-producers-vibrant-estate-wedding-in-napa-valley

California succulent smugglers plant poachers seed Asia desire for dudleya

Dudleya are native to the west coast of North America, from Oregon to Baja California, with a couple of species in Arizona, one of which also grows in Nevada and Utah,” says Stephen McCabe, emeritus director of research at the Arboretum at the University of California, Santa Cruz. “Some are common and a great number of the species are rare.”The more rare the plant the more covetous the collector, and some dudleya are extremely scarce indeed. “A few of the rarest species could be devastated or driven to extinction in a day or two,” says McCabe.It was perplexing, then, that the plants targeted by poachers in Northern California were so commonly found. But while Dudleya farinosa – also known as “bluff lettuce”, “powdery liveforever” (owing to the leaves’ dusty appearance) or simply “liveforever” – may be unexceptional, the squat plants boast a geometric beauty reminiscent to some of the blossom of a lotus flower. In bloom, they sprout proud stalks, decked in clusters of small yellow flowers.And dudleya, it is argued, have character, surviving – even flourishing – in some of California’s least hospitable environments. They earned the moniker “liveforever” due to their ability to survive, in the right conditions, for more than a year with no fresh water, and dudleya sprout from rocky seaside cliffs, hanging on while battered by extreme weather and waves, so helping to secure the cliffs against erosion.What’s more, they are vital to California’s delicate coastal ecosystem.“Bees, flies, hummingbirds, butterflies, bumblebees, swallowtails and other creatures have been observed visiting the flowers,” explains McCabe, which are in turn eaten by birds. Mice, rabbits, deer and probably rats eat various plant parts. In some of the places where they occur, the dudleya are almost the only species of flowering plant present, but there are many insects around, so they are integral parts of some small or tiny ecosystems.”Still, dudleya did not seem a realistic candidate for theft, and they are delicate when taken from their natural environment. “D. farinosa, may grow in special greenhouses … but a great portion of them will die as house plants,” says McCabe. “They are very susceptible to fungus problems if it’s both hot and humid at the same time, particularly in summer. This means they are not well suited to the southeastern US and to the warm, humid parts of Asia.”And they are especially unsuited for travel. “A day in a plastic bag in a hot car will do them,” McCabe adds.Why greenery is in for interior decor in 2018, and how to pick plantsFreeling had a hunch that something big was afoot, but his colleagues dismissed the episode as simply the oddball antics of a few plant-loving eccentrics. Everyone knew that succulents were a hot trend in the US. Potted succulents had become de rigueur house-warming gifts and Instagram was awash with close-ups of the plants.
