Meet the state's secret 'ferry flower fairy' - KOMO News

BAINBRIDGE ISLAND, Wash. -- Flowers may not grow on Washington State ferries, but apparently kindness does.Janelle Eller, a worker on the Bainbridge Island Ferry, buys fresh floral arrangements with her own money roughly once a week and then spends time setting them up in the women's restroom before her shift."It's a great feeling when you're noticed by the passengers. I've had written notes. I've had things left on the mirrors for me," Eller said. "I even had a lady bring me in a bouquet of flowers just for me to take home."Eller's official job title is 'ordinary seaman,' which means she does a little bit of everything on board the boat. Florist, however, was not in the employee description when she took the job six years ago."I was inspired by another worker that's been here over 30 years. She used to bring them from her garden and put them up," Eller said. "She's an inspiration."Passengers will notice the flowers and leave compliments on the ferry system's comment cards, said Ian Sterling, spokesman for the Washington State Ferries."She's the one that classes the joint up. I was noticing that the other day," said Hann... http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Meet-the-states-secret-ferry-flower-fairy-331126311.html

US Supreme Court sends anti-gay florist case back to state court - Las Vegas Review-Journal

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is ordering Washington courts to take a new look at the case of a florist who refused to provide services for the wedding of two men because of her religious objection to same-sex marriage.The justices’ order Monday means the court is passing for now on the chance to decide whether business owners can refuse on religious grounds to comply with anti-discrimination laws that protect LGBT people.That’s the same issue they confronted, but ultimately passed over, in the recent ruling in favor of a Colorado baker who also objected to same-sex marriage on religious grounds.The court said in the Colorado case that the Colorado Civil Rights Commission expressed anti-religious bias in violation of the baker’s constitutional rights. Washington courts will review the florist’s case for similar issues.It’s not clear from the record that the Washington Supreme Court will evaluate Stutzman’s case any differently in light of the... https://www.reviewjournal.com/news/politics-and-government/us-supreme-court-sends-anti-gay-florist-case-back-to-state-court/

Magnolia florist is headed to Tournament of Roses Parade - Magnolia Banner News

The Rose Bowl is not only synonymous with the game, which this year pits Big-10 winner Ohio State against Pac-12 champion Washington, but it’s also forever linked with the New Year’s holiday and the grandiose, flower-filled floating masses of creativity, seemingly fallen from the floral gods.The Tournament of Roses Parade, now in its 130th year, on Jan. 1 will cruise 5.5 miles through the streets of Pasadena, California, on its way to the Rose Bowl. The event is televised by ABC, NBC, Hallmark Channel, and RFD-TV, and begins at 10 a.m. central. Besides the parade floats everyone has become so familiar with, with sponsors ranging from municipalities and international clubs to cruise lines to restaurant chains, the two-hour procession also features celebrity musical acts and specially invited marching bands to aid the lively event.But how is small town florist from southwest Arkansas invited to decorate and design one of these monstrous parade floats? By asking Joslin herself, it’s due to years of building her skills and chasing dreams.“I’ve been doing this since I was a teenager,” she said. “My aunt was a florist. She lived in Oklahoma City and came down and taught me the basics of floral design.”Joslin for a decade owned Bridget’s Holiday Shoppe on Magnolia’s square then freelanced in Texas before opening her current downtown floral operation last year. In that span, she gained multiple floral design certifications, including a Louisiana Master Floral license in 1999, an Arkansas Master Floral license in 2002, a professional certified floral license in 201... http://www.magnoliabannernews.com/news/2018/dec/14/magnolia-florist-headed-tournament-roses-parade/
