Daisy Jane's is a Florist on Wheels - Cincinnati CityBeat

She wanted to do something else, she just didn’t know what. Around the same time as she was debating her next move, a friend posted about a mobile flower truck in Nashville on Instagram. Moore immediately fell in love with the idea. She thought the concept of the truck was adorable and the flexibility of owning a pop-up business would offer her the schedule she wanted. She decided that if she could find a truck, and no one was offering the same business in Cincinnati, she would launch her own here.Daisy Jane's Flower Truck isn't easy to miss with its bright red exterior.Billy KeeneyShe scoured countless truck listings on every auto website she could find before locating a 1965 Spring Special Ford E100 on Craigslist. Filled with nerves and excitement, she reached out to the owner and set a date to go visit the vehicle. “I sat over here like, ‘Oh my goodness. If this truck is in good shape and good to go, then this is happening — this has to happen,’ ” Moore says. She bought the truck in October 2018 and gave it a name: Daisy Jane. As Moore explains, daisies symbolize new beginnings and the name Jane means “God is gracious,” from ancient Greek and Hebrew.A month after buying the truck, she left her job at Local 12 to pursue a long-term goal of owning a small business. “I always knew, at some point in my life, I wanted to start a business,” Moore says. “I even bought a door — a mint green door.” Bought from a Habitat for Humanity Restore in Traverse City, Michigan — where she previously worked as a reporter for WPBN-TV in 2012 and ‘13 — the door has traveled with Moore to every city she has called home and served as a physical reminder to Moore of her ultimate entrepreneurial goal. Currently, the door resides in her basement, but she would love to use it in a physical storefront one day. For her, it serves as a symbol of the independence, hard work and the reward found as a small business owner. “I think what I love so much about small businesses is just the impact they have on the community,” she says. “When you buy from small businesses, you’re supporting your neighbor.”Moore says she loves being a part of a community of entrepreneurs who have carved out their own path. “Anybody who steps out and does that is taking a huge risk, but I think that so many can be inspired by someone knowing that this may not work, but it’s OK,” she says. “And if it inspires someone else to chase a dream that they have, then that’s all worth it."For more information on Daisy Jane’s Flower Truck and to find upcoming locations, visit daisyjanesflowertruck.com. https://www.citybeat.com/arts-culture/culture/article/21078504/daisy-janes-is-a-florist-on-wheels

We want people to come to the cart and just feel happy,” Emma said. “I know it sounds cliche to say, but yeah, experience the creativeness of putting together a bouquet and making it their own.”She hopes that one day they can expand the business into something bigger.The cart travels all over, but you’ll be able to see it at the Junior Achievement Young Entrepreneurs MarketPlace at Freimann Square on July 20th.The marketplace is a new initiative JA set up for students in the area under 21.

"Every July I go to Dauphin Island, Alabama, where I have several clients. They get decor 'refreshers' each summer," she said. "When I go down there I also go deep-sea fishing for Red Snapper, so it's an annual vacation for me."When she isn't decorating for others, she and her husband Jerry reside on the Louisiana side of Caddo Lake where they enjoy entertaining.

Wild Honey Flower Truck is Birmingham's florist on wheels - Alabama NewsCenter

It’s an idea that bloomed when Kelsey Sizemore and her husband, Josh, saw similar flower operations outside of Alabama.“We had seen a couple of similar businesses in other cities and we thought it was something that Birmingham would really love,” Kelsey Sizemore said.If you’re going to have a flower truck, it has to start with the truck.“We started by looking at trucks on Craigslist and eBay,” Sizemore said. “We decided on the kind of truck that we liked.”[embedded content]Wild Honey Flower Truck is blooming in Birmingham from Alabama NewsCenter on Vimeo.When they found a potential truck in Ohio, Sizemore sent her father-in-law to check it out. When it earned a thumbs-up, they had the truck towed to Birmingham.“We started the process of really transforming the truck into something that could house the flowers,” she said.That meant a paint job, building out the back to carry flower vases and adding an awning.Next came procuring flowers by working with wholesalers, flower markets and other dealers.With the truck ready and outfitted with flowers, the only decision was where to go to sell them.“We just sought out the places that we really like to go,” Sizemore said.That could mean being outside of the Pizitz building one day and in Woodlawn the next.You can also find Wild Honey Food Truck at the West Homewood Farmer’... https://alabamanewscenter.com/2019/06/28/wild-honey-flower-truck-is-birminghams-florist-on-wheels/

Wild Honey Flower Truck is Birmingham's florist on wheels - Yellowhammer News

This group’s not coming the right way,” he said. “The Democrats want them to come, not because they’re kind and nice… [but for] power and money. They have no sympathy for the people here in Alabama… We have lost control of our borders and they’re coming right and left.”Tuberville sarcastically credited longtime Democratic elected officials like former Vice President Joe Biden, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) for somehow spinning the nation’s problems, like the border crisis, into being President Donald Trump’s fault, as he has only been in office for two and a half years compared to their lifetimes in politics.“They own the media. And that’s the reason our country’s in the shape it’s in today, because our media will not call a spade a spade,” Tuberville lamented. “They won’t call it out. They’re going to side with the socialist Democratic Party and push that narrative as far as they can, because they want for some reason, I don’t understand it, for some reason they want to go that direction. They want free for everybody, and we know that doesn’t work. It’s really a sad situation.”During his remarks, Tuberville also identified fixing the rural healthcare crisis, workforce development, industry recruitment and growing Alabama’s high-tech sector as priorities if elected.Of course, his stump speech also included a heavy dose on what he views as one of the main reasons for American society’s decline.“I’m a Christian conservative,” Tuberville emphasized.“We ought to be ashamed of ourselves. We took prayer out of the schools in the ’60s and not one person has fought to get it back — not one. … You know what? Other religions can pray in our schools. They can. They can pray in our schools. And I’m not against any religion. Hey, you come here, as long as you go by our laws and our constitution you can pray to any god you want to. I’m all for that. That’s what this country’s about. But by gosh, don’t tell us we can’t say the Lord’s Prayer in school and send our kids home,” he said.Tuberville said that Trump can get the country turned around with enough support from conservatives across the country and in Congress. However, he decried that the president is having to fight members of the establishment from both parties in trying to effect change.“[W]e’ve got to put Jesus and God before everything else,” he stressed. “And if we don’t do that, we’re going to be brought down to our knees again.”Sean Ross is a staff writer for Yellowhammer News.

New Houston home design shops have much to offer - Houston Chronicle

Moxie Interiors From the street, Moxie Interiors on West Alabama, looks like a quaint, ivy-covered house but in fact is a building with 8,500 square feet of retail space filled with fine antiques, art and home decor accessories. The four business partners who run this shop have amassed a collection of antiques and vintage pieces from all over the world. The recent renovation created a series of rooms with distinctly different personalities. A few are filled with glossy shelves of vases, fine porcelain and items like George Briard glass trays (in clear or Hermes orange, $125 and up). Some look more like living rooms, with striking chandeliers and furniture ranging from custom pieces made in the on-site upholstery shop to fine antiques such as a pair of ornately carved Chinese Chippendale-style cabinets ($300,000 for the pair). You’ll find small objects, too, for as little as $50. 2031 W.
