Pumpkin power: How to bring some pop to your fall decor - The Detroit News
Tuesday, October 22, 2019Florist Brittany Ross at English Gardens actually suggests not carving pumpkins to hold flowers. She says pumpkins and flowers don’t mix well, meaning the flowers won’t last as long if they’re put right into a carved pumpkin and neither will the pumpkin. For those who still chose to go that route, Ross suggests using a vase inside the pumpkin for flowers. As far as her favorite mix of flowers in the fall, Ross says she loves to use chrysanthemum or daisies, which last a long times. She also likes mums and even carnations. She says carnations are coming back. “I’m a big fan,” says Ross. “Carnations come in so many different colors that people aren’t aware of and they’re gorgeous. And you can get them to last two to three weeks.” For greenery, she likes to use eucalyptus. “They smell nice and when they do start to dry out, they start to look more fall-looking with time,” she said And when it comes to pumpkins, heirloom pumpkins — which come in wide variety of shapes and colors — are hot these days, says Ross. “Everybody is doing during more gray tones in their homes so they come in blues, almost pinks, tans, white and beiges,” she said. Neutral fall decor And who says fall decor or arrangements have to be orange at all? They don’t, says West Michigan design blogger and author Liz Marie Galvan. Galvan, who lives on a farm with her husband and baby son, has a home decor and vintage store near Grand Rapids called The Found Cottage. She says fall decor can also be done in neutrals. “It can be whatever fits your style,” wrote Galvan in a post on her popular blog, lizmarieblog.com. https://www.detroitnews.com/story/life/home-garden/2019/10/17/fall-decor-and-arrangements-pumpkins/3910822002/

In addition to a curated collection of art found throughout the boutique, you’ll find hand-blown glass pieces by master artist Laurence Brabant, ceramics/sculptures by Belgian artist Harvey Bouterse, Franz West’s floor lamps, and stools, stained-glass trays and artful tableware from the artisan-based Dragonfly Collection. 5045 Westheimer; open 10 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday-Saturday and noon-6 p.m. Sunday Paloma & Co.

Tuesday, April 16, 2019Amparo Serrano in 2004, sells bright and colorful toys that promote inclusiveness and having fun. It's getting mixed feedback so far, with a three-star rating out of three Yelp reviews. Yelper Arvin A., who was among the first to review it on Jan. 10, wrote, "Saw this colorful store from far away and it got my attention. When I went in, everyone was so nice and welcoming and one of the girls there explained the story line to me and showed me around. Amazing concept. Amazing store. Loving the idea of it." And Winnie L. said, "I took a quick tour around, but didn't find any items for anyone's kids that I know. The toys are all plastic-based and I'm not sure I understand them. I suppose they're aliens in capsules for adoption and accessories are also sold to keep them well or something? There are also useful products, such as pencil cases and backpacks, but the characters are slightly too out of this world for my taste." The new store is open from 10 a.m.-9 p.m. Monday-Saturday and 11 a.m.-7 p.m. on Sunday. Mr Furley's Bar 224 N.

He spoke with us about the art of arranging, which he says is “all about emotion.”“I’d say focus on texture, focus on shape, and focus on colors. Like, I’ll take a picture of my vessel with my Pantone app and then that gives me a list of pairing colors to work from. Then I add my emotion to the design. But stay away from what’s expected. If you’re going to do a red rose, open it up to give it a different look. It’s called reflexing a rose. You let the roses sit for an hour outside water, then you pull the petals back one by one. For this arrangement, I used dahlias—my sister’s favorite flowers—and wheat.

Berkeley Florist Remains Bitter That It Can't Do Curbside Sales While Whole Foods Sells Flowers Next Door - SFist
Sunday, July 05, 2020Governor Gavin Newsom made announcements about curbside retail being allowed to start last Friday, and now 18 rural counties across California are already moving into the second half of Phase 2 in which dine-in restaurants get to reopen. This acceleration is based on the relatively low prevalence of the coronavirus in those counties thus far — and based on their being able to document hospital capacity to handle a potential surge in cases, if it comes.As one Yuba County resident told a reporter last week, upon the reopening of a shopping mall there in defiance of the state, "It’s always the big box stores that can stay open, and not the small ones."Last week, Ms. Simon told a reporter from ABC 7 that she planned to reopen Ashby Flowers for curbside pickups on May 8 along with other florists in the state just in time for Mother's Day, in defiance of Alameda County. But she later relented and chose to remain closed.In announcing the loosening of retail restrictions in his county on Wednesday, San Mateo County health officer Dr. Scott Morrow said, "The virus continues to circulate in our community, and this increase in interactions among people is likely to spread the virus at a higher rate. Whether these modifications allow the virus to spread out of control, as we saw in February and March and resulted in the first shelter in place order, is yet to be seen."As of Thursday morning, San Francisco had 1,999 confirmed COVID-19 cases, with 65 people hospitalized, and Alameda County has 2,178 cases with 79 people hospitalized. San Mateo County has 1,536 cases with 63 in the hospital.Related: Mayor Breed Gives Green Light For Most SF Retail to Open For Curbside Sales and Delivery on MondayPhoto: Facebook... https://sfist.com/2020/05/14/berkeley-florist-bitter-about-curbside-retail-rules/
Around East County: Don’t forget area small businesses still open - East Bay Times
Sunday, July 05, 2020The business had even closed up shop for a few days before receiving a notice from the California Association of Flower Growers and Shippers, which sent out news that as agriculture-based businesses, florists could indeed keep operating hours with a few safety restrictions.“This was good news, as we wanted to find a way to help bring brightness to everyone’s day,” said Denise Grace, an employee for the small business. “Everyone has been supportive of us remaining open.”Part of the process of staying open means keeping up social distancing practices. While not allowing customers into the shop to see their assortment of flowers is a little difficult, much of Good Scents’ business can be done online or over the phone. They have an extensive website with pictures of available flower arrangements.“People usually order flowers through our website or phone in orders for deliveries to relatives and friends during regular circumstances,” Grace said. “When making deliveries we can call people in advance and see how they want the flowers delivered. Most of the time we can just leave them on the porch without seeing anyone.”Grace explained that they are even waiving local delivery fees to help. Good Scents Florist has reduced their current hours to Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon; call 925-625-5550 for details. Similar florists in Brentwood, Antioch and Pittsburg have also remained open.
