Oz Park's 'Toto' Sculpture Model Has Died, And Fans Are Leaving Flowers - DNAinfo

Red carnations are laid at the feet of the "Dorothy and Toto" statue in Oz Park after the death of the dog who modeled for the sculpture. View Full CaptionDNAinfo/Ted CoxLINCOLN PARK — There were flowers in the snow beneath the statue of "Wizard of Oz" characters Dorothy Gale and her little dog Toto, too, in Oz Park this week, in memory of the dog who modeled for sculptor John Kearney."The love of my life, my little girl," Jackie Kelly, of Provincetown, Mass., said Tuesday, after her dog, daVinci, died in her sleep Sunday night. "Little dog, big heart."Kelly got the dog as a stray 17 years ago, and while the dog was the image of a cairn terrier, Kelly also believes she had a little Chihuahua in her, as she was small. The dog was nonetheless a natural stand-in for Toto from the very beginning."Right after I got her, within two or three weeks, I was sitting on a park bench with her when a man who was part of our community theater pulled up and asked if she could be Toto in a school production of 'The Wizard of Oz,'" Kelly recalled Tuesday. Jackie Kelly's dog daVinci modeled as Toto for John Kearney's final "Wizard of Oz" sculpture. View Full CaptionJacki...

Why This Flower Shop Left Wicker Park For 'More Gentrified' Lincoln Park - DNAinfo

Something we're trying to do now, because of the election and all the bad juju going around, we're trying to hire refugees," Cattails co-owner Atterberry said. View Full CaptionDNAinfo/Ted CoxLINCOLN PARK — The new Fullerton Avenue streetscape drew Lisa Atterberry to Lincoln Park, but not for the reasons urban planners envisioned.When Atterberry opened her flower shop Cattails in Wicker Park 18 years before, the city was just redoing the sidewalks on Division Street, and when she saw the same basic work being done on Fullerton as she was considering a move there she thought, "Kismet."So Cattails transplanted to 1434 W. Fullerton Ave., opening on Election Day in November. "It just sort of had the same feel," she added."It got prohibitively expensive in Wicker Park," said Atterberry, co-owner of Cattails. "I wanted a corner, and it's really hard to find a small corner that's inexpensive in the city." Cattails has moved to 1434 W. Fullerton Ave. after 18 years in Wicker Park.

A new end-of-summer sunflower experience has officially kicked off in the region.Thousands of people from across New Jersey are converging on area family farms, frolicking in fields of blooming sunflowers, snapping Instagram selfies and other photos and clipping a few blooming flowers to take home.Johnson’s Locust Hall Farm in Springfield picked up on the sunflower craze last year and is now expanding its Sunflower September Festival, which begins Sept. 7 and will offer a “photo trail” and “pick-your-own” experience throughout the month.“The sunflower craze is here again and in a big way,” said Allie Johnson, the farm’s events coordinator.She said the farm has always lined its 1,500-foot driveway with blooms, but “it wasn’t until two years ago that we noticed our customers calling and stopping in to see our sunflowers. So that very next season we thought why not turn our little driveway patch into a five-acre field and really put on a show.”Johnson's Locust Hall Farm is located at 2691 Monmouth Road.

F.C. Florist Sends Bouquets to Congresswomen Targeted by Trump - Falls Church News Press

Born in the Soviet Union-controlled Uzbekistan, Rabinovich and her family traversed through multiple countries before finally getting clearance to come to the U.S. She would grow up in the New Jersey/New York area, earning her citizenship by the time she was 16 and would later go on to get her degree in visual merchandising and interior design. AdvertisementsHer first job was working in a flower shop, an occupation that was always seen as a fallback for Rabinovich whenever she was in between gigs. She later realized she enjoyed working in flower shops more than any other job and started her own business out of her apartment in Arlington. Rabinovich wound up purchasing Galleria Florist in July 2015 when searching for a production space to operate out of, and last December she became an owner of Nosegay Flowers in Washington, D.C. — a former employer of hers.She re-emphasized that the flowers were merely a show of goodwill, but did add a general message to all Americans that, “The U.S. is a melting pot. It stands for inclusivity, not exclusivity. That’s what’s going to keep us going; diversity and the knowledge our immigrants bring to the country.”Share this:Comments comments... https://fcnp.com/2019/07/31/f-c-florist-sends-bouquets-to-congresswomen-targeted-by-trump/

BBB consumer warning: Graduation gifts that never arrive - KTVZ

But Better Business Bureau Northwest + Pacific is warning consumers about a growing number of complaints against one online florist.Troys Florist , based out of New Jersey, operates the website, http://www.troysflorist.com. The company pays to boost its presence in online searches across the country making it appear to be a local florist. BBB consumer complaints indicate they were billed for flowers that never arrived.Emily Keizer of Florence, Oregon filed a complaint with BBB after ordering flowers for her grandparents' anniversary."I was rushing to get something sent and made the mistake of clicking on the first mobile link that looked okay," she said.Keizer adds that as a millennial, she should be savvy to online scams, so if she was tricked, "there are probably lots of people out there who didn't even realize their flowers were never delivered."BBB has received 191 complaints against Troys Florist, reporting the company delivered incorrect arrangements, charged for flowers that never arrived and did not honor refunds. The company has failed to respond to BBB."It's always a good idea to use bbb.org to research online companies before doing business with them," advises Dawn Johnson, Better Business Bureau Northwest +Pacific Spokesperson.Here ... https://www.ktvz.com/news/bbb-consumer-warning-graduation-gifts-that-never-arrive/1083986113

Steamboat florist moves to Lincoln Avenue location with hopes of growing already blossoming business - Steamboat Pilot & Today

Jordan said. “It is such a fantastic space, I just want to bring people together here in a creative way.”Jordan’s love of working with flowers goes back to where she grew up in New Jersey, just outside of New York City, on Linden Lane. She said her mother enjoyed hosting large family dinners and always encouraged her to explore the well-groomed, flower-filled yard to create floral arrangements for the table’s centerpiece.After graduating from college, Jordan spent several years pursuing a career using her sustainability degree but said she didn’t love it. She entertained the idea of pursuing a culinary degree and got a job at a flower shop while waiting to get into school.It was a decision that led her back to her love of flowers. She eventually moved to Steamboat Springs, and in 2017, founded Linden Co. Floristry — named after the street where she grew up.“We just had the best yard with magnolia and camellia trees,” Jordan said. “That’s where I learned to forage and bring the outside in for table settings.“Flowers might just be one the happiest things you can sell,” Jordan added.Visit Linden Co. Floristry for more information.To reach John F.
