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

Suits Star Abigail Spencer On Her Florist Side Hustle and Self-Care - The Kit

I got a phone call from him saying, ‘Abby I’m having a heart attack. Call 911.’ Ten minutes later, he was gone. It radically changed my life. He’s buried in Gulf Breeze Florida, where I’m from, but he lives on in County Line for me; that’s where I go to visit him. I always wanted to do something to homage him and my surf background.I always say that I’m in the business of gratitude. I was sending flowers every single week. I found this old 1965 Volkswagen van, Betty, and met a young couple, Alyssa and her husband, Jordan. They had a little flower shop and they converted an old surf truck into a mobile flower shop. I asked if I could bring this to set and they said yes. So I would do flower shows on set for different departments, then culminating in bringing the truck to set. I thought about it and realized we don’t have this in Los Angeles. So, I started working with them and brought it out to the West Coast.County Line Florals is Valentine’s Day, birth, life, death and rebirth. It’s also the symbolism of what we do with our pain. We can invest in the soil and make something beautiful or it can destroy us. Flowers are a great symbol of that. One bad flower can ruin the whole bunch. I want people to buy flowers for themselves. When I think about my mission, it is an act of self-care.”How do you define self-care?“I feel like it’s expanding this year. I enjoyed the space to not travel and be at home. I don’t like all the things that come with the pandemic, but I think it’s been a great reset. I am a single mother, I have a 12-year-old son, and we needed that time together. He’s inside doing Zoom school and I love it. I just love that I can go in, kiss and hug him, and tell him how much I love him in the middle of the day. There’s a sweet quality to it.My joke is that I have extreme apocalypse optimism, but I feel the collective grief. We need deep change, it’s overwhelming and it’s clear. I want to give and commit my life to things that are part of the change and not part of the problem. I feel this deep personal optimism and sometimes I can’t explain it, but I think what has given me that is just a lot of space. If I were to whittle it down, self-care is a space. Giving myself that space and listening to my intuitive knowing, and then being able to bravely tiptoe forward from there. Sometimes space is getting under the covers and not getting out of bed.”You’re working with the Montreal glasses brand BonLook. Why did you name the sunglasses collection Betty?“Betty is a term from the ’50s and ’60s. When BonLook asked me to name the sunglasses collection, I remember I was dragging Betty around all day and thought, what about the Betty BonLook, the Betty Collection?In surf slang, Betty means a beautiful woman. I love that, and I think that’s so appropriate for the collection. They’re classic and feminine frames. It’s also about feminizing all of these spaces like the 1965 Volkswagen, wh... https://thekit.ca/life/celebrity-life/abigail-spencer-suits-county-line-florals/
