Naples League Club in Wonderland: hot pink flamingos, ceiling-height centerpieces a wow fundraiser - Naples Daily News

Naples' creative organizations, but designers from as far away as New York and Toronto.More: 'Give Where You Live Collier' raises record $5.6M in 24 hoursThe Well Read Department Store in Bonita Springs had festooned its table with an orange-based jungle print and sent a parasol and stole in outsize verdant designs sailing overhead. The finish: gold trimmed black china bearing either green Lucite pachyderms or the familiar chocolate-and-vermilion of Norman Love confection boxes.Up for Grabs, which describes itself as a high-end consignment shop for furniture and table wares on U.S. 41 North in Naples, had raided its best stock for an Easter theme. Owner Katherine Goodman and her assistant, Amy Bruener, had assembled egg-bearing trees and ceramic Easter creatures around white urns erupting in foliage, with predominantly glass-and-gold table settings."Everything came from the store," said Goodman, proudly. Naples Tables was nearly born to her business: "We do a lot of china, crystal and silver, and we do very well with it," she said.Lisa Davenport operates design studios in both Naples and Middlefield, Connecticut, under a recently changed title, LLD Design, and she had created a "Made in America" theme. She typified the care that was going into designer tables."Everything here was made in the U.S.," she declared. "That includes the silver. We even found some that have 'We the People' on them."  Davenport had scouted out candelabras, vintage cut glass water tumblers and fabrics created here, all in a red-white-and-blue theme. The tablecloths were even made in Naples. And when her florist was facing an emergency, Davenport obtained the flowers the supplier and created the draping centerpieces herself.Over at the table of the Marco Island Center for the Arts, the favors, miniature cupcake paintings on easels from the center's artists, sat beside plates bearing abstract designs, again painted by the center's artists. A wide-eyed ceramic elephant teapot, created by kids' ceramic classes, stood ready to figuratively dispense warm drinks."Le Rosé Rendezvous," the table of Peter Antanelis, had been created. The theme was "Ombre," and Antanelis, whose work is divided between Naples and New York, had carried out the theme down to the split seat covers. On one end, furry white cushion covers, split with the palest pink-gray; on the other, deep and total fuchsia. Gift candles ranged according to table position, from snowy to rose"Everything moves from white to fuchsia — every aspect, the candle, the cupcakes, everything," he said. Even a layered cake, which Antanelis himself baked, had ombre layers of filling."As soon as I got involved with it, I thought of the theme. So I asked for a rectangle tab... https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/local/2020/03/03/naples-league-club-fills-ritz-carlton-pavilion-wow-tables/4885588002/

South Lee flower shops tackle Valentine's Day - Naples Daily News

Three thousand roses had come in to the 33-year-old Bonita Springs flower shop since Friday. Five hundred more were stacked against a wall bundled in boxes. “We’ll get 500 more tonight and another 500 tomorrow,” Sayger said. At the 15-year-old Estero shop, Cernohous said the store can receive upwards of 500 orders in a three-day window, which includes deliveries and pickups. More: 13 romantic date spots in Naples, Bonita Springs, Estero and Fort Myers But she uses plenty of extra hands to help tackle the number of orders that come for Valentine’s Day. “You can’t do this on the same staff you run your daily flower shop on,” she said. “It’s just not possible.” Heaven Scent offers a menu of options for people to wow their loved ones, each with a quirky name. “I’m most proud of 'Knock her Socks Off,'” Sayger said. That bouquet mixes roses with more fragrant flowers to give the arrangement a pop. “Roses have been bred for longevity, but it’s taken away a lot of their scent," Sayger said. Another option, "You Light of my Life," has lights intermixed with a more traditional dozen roses. “We wanted to up our game,” Sayger said. At Heaven Scent, some husbands and boyfriends order their pick months in advance, much to Sayger’s delight, she said. https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/local/communities/the-banner/2018/02/14/selling-emotion-estero-bonita-flower-shops-prepare-valentines-day/320016002/

'Petal it Forward': Free flower bouquets bring smiles to Bonita Springs residents - Naples Daily News

Janet Lonicka moved to Bonita Springs about two weeks ago. She’s making friends, exploring the city and finding what the community can offer. On Wednesday, she stumbled across Heaven Scent Flowers in the city’s downtown. The florist was giving two bouquets of flowers to anyone who walked through the door. Lonicka wanted to brighten the day of a new friend, and flowers always bring a smile, she said. “I have a sweet 87-year-old neighbor who can’t easily leave the house,” she said. “(These flowers) will brighten her day so much.” “Petal it Forward” is a national event where flower shops hand out hundreds of bouquets to patrons and local businesses. Florists give two bouquets to every customer with one caveat — they must give one arrangement to someone they think deserves it, said Susie Sayger, owner of Heaven Scent.

Calif. flower shop with no connection to Capitol riot flooded with threats, negative reviews - SFGate

I hope you rot in jail,’” he said. “And those are the polite ones.” Contrarily, Alberti added that the shop even received a love letter intended for Cudd from a firefighter living in Florida. “To be honest, they both concern me,” he said. In response to the harassment, Alberti notified the Roseville Police Department, which has been periodically sending out officers to check in on the shop. He also contacted Yelp, which he said acted quickly to remove the misguided comments, as well as Google, though he’s still awaiting a response. of this store since 1973.We are getting hate messages and bad reviews as a result. To our customers, please know that we were not part of that. Thank you for your continued trust and please ignore the hate reviews that are not meant for us.— Becky's Flowers (@BeckysFlowersCA) January 8, 2021 “It was just crickets,” he said. “Which was frustrating, because somehow all of (Cudd’s) negative reviews were removed from her page and likely identified as a targeted attack, and we’re the ones dealing with the repercussions.” (At the time this article was published, most of the negative Google reviews for Alberti’s business appeared to have been removed from the platform. However, Cudd’s business also has a 4.6 rating.) Two other florists bearing the same name in Kentucky and Scotland were burdened with similar harassment. Alberti said all of them have given up on deleting the comments, and are instead attempting to respond to each one in order to set the record straight. “I offered to send some people maps of the United States,” joked Alberti. “Most people apologize and then they reverse, but some are steadfast. My thing is, I understand the need to vent and get rid of that hostility, but just spend an extra five seconds of time to see that we’re not in Texas. The very platforms that these people are using to type these rants and tirades … it would take them less time to find out we’re not that business than it would take for them to write the post.” He’s concerned about what the future holds for his business, which has been around since 1973 and spans four generations. “We’re just trying to survive,” said Alberti. “Being a florist is hard enough. We don’t have a high profit margin. We do it because we love it and love flowers. To already be suffering through COVID and add this on top of it, it’s stressful.” source srcset="https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/16/13/46/20494742/3/700x0.jpg 1x, https://s.hdnux.com/photos/01/16/13/46/20... https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Beckys-Flowers-Roseville-mistaken-Capitol-rioter-15871654.php
