Two-alarm fire burns Blue Iris Flowers' century-old building in Catonsville - Baltimore Sun

Monday morning. They helped her bring out a computer and the cash register drawer, and she used the upper level of Atwater's Catonsville, a bakery and coffee shop next door, as a temporary operations center, she said.Glascock bought and renovated Blue Iris in 2011.She announced on the Blue Iris Flowers Facebook page that she plans to reopen in Catonsville."Good morning friends," she wrote. "As some of you may know, the building our store is located in was involved in a fire early this morning. Thankfully no one was inside or injured. All of us are accounted for."In the afternoon, Glascock added an update, saying a GoFundMe page had been set up to help in rebuilding and support her employees while the business is closed. As of 6 p.m. Monday, it had raised $1,550 of a $10,000 goal."I live and breath this store," she wrote before expressing her appreciation for Catonsville community.She later said on Facebook that she found a temporary location at the former Riedels Florist in Arbutus. She hopes to be set up by Wednesday, she said, and will be fully operational for Valentine's Day.Donna and Frank Napfel — who have owned the 5,130-square-foot building since 1989, according to state records — were in Naples, Fla., during the fire. Reached by phone Monday, Donna Napfel said they had been monitoring the situation but had not yet decided what to do next.Firefighters did their best while fighting the blaze to minimize damage to the floor-level shop, Kurrle said. The upper levels, where ripped-open walls and ceilings could be seen through broken windows, appeared to have sustained more damage than the flower shop.The top floors had been apartments, but they were vacant during the fire, Kurrle said. The second floor housed a private investigator's business until about nine months ago, said Michelle Dwyer, who said she worked there as a background researcher.Dwyer, who now works at Candle Light Funeral Home about a mile away, said she used to come downstairs to talk with Glascock, who supplied the flowers for her April wedding."It was neat that there was a flower shop downstairs," she said.Craig Witzke, owner of Candle Light Funeral Home, said Blue Iris regularly supplies flowers for funerals and viewings there. He praised Glascock and said he is sure she will bounce back."I've known Allison since her first days there," he said. "From the day I met her, I admired that she was a young woman taking on such a challenge."Omar Jennings, who owns Jennings Cafe across the street, said he awoke early to his phone buzzing with text after text. He ignored it, thinking it was just ... http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-co-catonsville-fire-20170206-story.html

Florist Yasmine Khatib's California Inspired Closet Also Boasts a Cape Collection - Racked LA

It's a rarity to find florist Yasmine Khatib without an expertly finessed bouquet in-hand. The Orange County native, who now resides in LA's Atwater Village neighborhood is as easily as identified by her baroque-inspired bundles (which she has been known to randomly distribute at cafes and airports) as she is her elegant, vintage ensembles which—depending on the season—could include capes, super wide-brimmed straw hats, or Gunne Sax maxis.When Khatib isn't hosting floral pop-ups or workshops around town, she's selling out her floral tutorials in other geographic locations—most recently New Zealand. Her success may also be party attributed to her social media notoriety, something the florist modestly blushes away. But her 68,500 followers on Instagram are no accident. Her fans can't get enough perfectly edited shots her arrangements (which often incorporate non-floral natural elements like mushrooms or kumquat branches) and her enviable head-to-toe looks.We caught up with Yasmine near her usual Atwater haunts (Proof Bakery, Individual Medley) to learn her how her home state influences her fashion as much as her work, and the... http://la.racked.com/2016/2/26/11101732/yasmine-khatib-floral-design-los-angeles-style-crush

Business is 'blooming' at Park Avenue Florist & Gift Shop - Clay Today Online

FTD designs and Teleflora designs. They deliver all over the country as well as internationally. “We deliver worldwide – we FTD and Teleflora. We have wire services. So if it’s going to California, you place your order today, we can have it out there tomorrow,” McCleod said.“I’ve just started coming here,” said Orange Park’s Marlene Revella. “My parents and most of my family live up in Ohio, and obviously I won’t be going home for the holidays this year. So I decided to maybe send them a plant. But I came in and saw the different flower arrangements and plants, and I ended up being here for over an hour. The salespeople were so helpful and patient with me.“I ended up deciding to send a plant and flowers. I think it’s something I’ll probably do again in the future. It’s not too expensive, and it’s a pretty timely gift to let someone know you’re thinking of them.”McCleod says that the florist is doing mostly contactless deliveries and pickups on orders, as people are trying to maintain suggested health and safety protocols.“Usually within 24 hours,” said McCleod when asked about the turnaround time of delivery and pickup orders. “That way, if they pick out something special, we can order it in. We have a wide variety on hand, so we can usually fill it [the order].” McCleod hasn’t seen any particular demographic doing most of the buying.According to her, it’s across the board. Although, she says she’s seen more men than usual – doghouse buys, she calls them – assuming that quarantine has caused them to irritate the women in their lives.“We’re doing more centerpieces right now, especially for Thanksgiving,” said McCleod. “Scented with candles, something festive for their holiday table. Christmas is usually about the same thing. We have ornaments in the specialty type containers as well.” ... https://www.claytodayonline.com/stories/business-is-blooming-at-park-avenue-florist-gift-shop,25109

9-year-old boy earns praise for helping struggling flower vendor: ‘You are one awesome kid!’ - Yahoo Lifestyle

A 9-year-old boy from California has been lauded for going above and beyond for a flower vendor who had appeared to be struggling on the job, KTLA reports.Jeremiah Reyes was on his way to basketball practice with his sister Stephanie when the two came across 57-year-old Israel Parra, who was selling flowers on the side of the road in Santa Ana. Reyes, a fifth grader, told the station that was when he noticed that Parra seemed to be having trouble in the heat with only one arm.“I felt really sad,” he said. “I really wanted to help him out.”When the boy later learned that Parra, who doesn’t have health insurance, was also struggling financially, he decided to take matters into his own hands and created a GoFundMe with a goal of raising $20,000.“It just stayed in my heart and it just made me sad, kept on thinking about it and I really wanted to help him out,” Reyes explained.The generous act caught Parra, who picks up bouquets six days a week from Lupita’s Flowers and tries to sell them, off guard.

Small but mighty, a Washington florist battles back in the pandemic - Reuters

I really think they did a good job by not reopening too soon, because look at all the places that are having to close back down, like California, Texas,” Banks said. As the White House and Congress debate the next coronavirus relief bill, Banks said she would like more business funding and clarity on Paycheck Protection Program loans. The shop received a $75,000 loan under the program, allowing it to rehire furloughed staff. “They say it’s forgivable, but they haven’t come out with any clear-cut rules on how to make it forgivable,” Banks said. “I am on pins and needles.” Reporting by Makini Brice; Editing by Dan Burns and Richard ChangOur Standards:The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-usa-smallbusiness/small-but-mighty-a-washington-florist-battles-back-in-the-pandemic-idUSKCN2511D6
