Business news: Lifelong Sumter florist opens antique department next door - Sumter Item

Mediterranean area while serving in the U.S. Navy. Most of his collections since completing his military service in 1970 have been from estate auctions and antique shows across South Carolina, he said.Friends encouraged him for years to open a shop, Newton said, and around Thanksgiving last year, he finally did.His collection in the new department includes an abundance of artwork - including original oil work on canvases - porcelain items, art glass, Persian carpets, costume jewelry, Blueware, stained-glass lamps and "Gone with the Wind"-period lamps from the Victorian era, among other items.The antique department's address is 415 Broad St., and some Sumterites likely remember the location as the former Hamm's Jewelry and Goldsmith shop in the 1980s and '90s operated by Joseph Hamm, he said.Newton was a partner with Hamm in the operation.Since then, the building has served as "my storage space," he said.Newton described his new location as "a little toward the higher, better-quality end" for an antique store.He does plenty of research online before purchasing his antiques and tries to be "very reasonable" on pricing with honest and fair prices, he added. "I do a lot of research on eBay, and if I find something on there, I try to ensure the item is priced under what I can find it for on eBay," Newton said. "Then, that should be a plus for the customer because they are looking at the item here. They are not risking it getting damaged in shipment, and they are actually seeing the piece of merchandise."Antique department hours are the same as his florist shop - Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. He said he's also available by appointment. ... https://www.theitem.com/stories/lifelong-sumter-florist-opens-antique-department-next-door,341692

Journal photo by Caroline Rice.By Caroline Rice Birmingham was gifted with an arch of flowers on the Rotary Trail sign in the heart of the city June 5 after a group of local florists were determined to use their talents to show love to their hurting community.After a week that had begun with protests and shattered glass, Carolyn Chen, florist at Wild Things in Homewood, wanted to end it with something beautiful that could reunite the community. Chen began messaging her florist friends to see if her idea of a flower arch on Rotary Trail could be possible.Chen soon had more than 30 florists around Birmingham who were willing to donate flowers and supplies.Cameron Pappas, owner of Norton’s Florist downtown and one of the flower contributors, said that, although the total cost of the flower arch probably was about $20,000, florists coming together to help the community was priceless to him.“As a community, our hearts are hurting, and we know that flowers heal,” Pappas said.“Each person participating had th... https://www.otmj.com/rotary-trail-flowers/

10 Florists Delivering Vibrant Bouquets for Mother’s Day - The New York Times

Brooklyn-based designer Ariel Dearie is selling photographs of her elegant arrangements of ranunculus flowers, allium stems and philodendron leaves (profits from the sale of her “Carondelet” print will be donated to Covid-19 relief), while Brittany Asch, of the Manhattan studio Brrch, is sculpting “virtual bouquets” by adorning photographs of people’s homes with gifs of unfurling taffy-pink lotus flowers, spinning roses and Technicolor hibiscuses. For those designers who are still able to make deliveries, creating arrangements has become an exercise in using whatever blooms they can find — tulips from local growers, roses from their gardens, even weeds from nearby hillsides. The results are a reminder that more spontaneous arrangements can feel a bit closer to nature, and that even the humblest blooms have the power to move us. Here, 10 florists from around the country who, despite sourcing challenges, are delivering joyful, unexpected arrangements within their areas in time for May 10.

But recent changes in flower availability have prompted her to experiment with softer, more romantic compositions with a focus on striking palettes. For Mother’s Day, she will choose blooms in shades of bright pink and yellow, a scheme inspired “by the start of spring,” she says, “and also brighter times.” In order to support other small businesses affected by the coronavirus, she has partnered with the... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/02/t-magazine/mothers-day-flowers-delivery.html

I’m a New York bride who had to cancel her wedding 6 days before it was supposed to happen. We’ve rescheduled, but the financial and emotional stress hasn’t gone away. - Business Insider

Her New Jersey wedding was canceled six days before it was supposed to happen in March. The cancellation has been emotionally and financially difficult for Regan and her fiancé, Angelo Fallacaro: They lost around $3,000 and are left with now useless, date-specific decor, from champagne flutes to personalized T-shirts. The couple has rescheduled their big day – and Regan says that compared to how others are suffering right now, they know their problems are small. Visit Business Insider’s homepage for more stories. On March 14, one week before our wedding, a manager from the catering hall where we were about to be married called and asked how we felt about postponing. At the time, the threat of the coronavirus was still very new, so while the outbreak was on my mind, it really hadn’t been a major concern. We live in Staten Island, where at the time only one case had been confirmed. It was still too early to grasp just how devastating this virus was going to be. So we sat down with our families, talked over our options, and scheduled a meeting at our venue – South Gate Manor in Freehold, New Jersey – for the next day. The news wasn’t great. The owner of the catering hall had already started to cancel upcoming events. Some of our wedding guests started calling to say they wouldn’t be able to make it. Of course I was devastated – everything was set and ready to go, we were so close – but there was a strong possibility that Freehold Tow... https://www.businessinsider.sg/new-york-bride-postponed-wedding-due-to-coronavirus-2020-5

Plymouth flower shop closes after four decades as owner retires - Hometown Life

Museum, the Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and volunteering with Angela Hospice with flowers."We're always trying to do for others," she said.Then earlier this year, the coronavirus pandemic hit Michigan, forcing her to close her doors temporarily. During that time, she looked ahead to what doing business in a world occupied by COVID-19 looked like. She said she did not want to operate like that and risk her health. So she's decided to retire."While we were closed, every day in the news was something different," she said. "I just said, 'I think that it's time.'"'I'm going to miss the customers'Ribar, who still lives down the street from the floral shop, said she was sad to hear the shop still bearing her name would close, but understood why Morrison would decide to do it.She said meeting Morrison decades ago was an important point in her professional life."It would've been a monumental task (to stay open). She's a hard worker, always has been," Ribar said of Morrison. "She does anything you need to do and happy to do it. We did a good thing when we met Lori."Morrison planned to be out of the space by the end of the month. While Morrison said she's looking forward to spending time with family and friends or traveling near Christmas instead of working, she said she will miss the loyal customers that came in all the time looking for that personal touch in flowers. She said she hasn't ruled out helping out in other flower shops in the future; she said she's already had some people inquire if she wants to help during a busier season in the future."I'm going to miss the customers," she said. "I'm certainly not going to miss the long hours or smelling like sap. "I am going to miss the people I see every Christmas."... https://www.hometownlife.com/story/news/local/plymouth/2020/06/25/plymouth-floral-shop-closes/5306585002/

For Livingston County nurseries closed over the coronavirus: 'May is make it or break it' - Livingston Daily

Her hanging flower baskets and flats of flowers are beginning to bloom as April nears its halfway point. However, like other nurseries and retail garden centers in Michigan, Morehouse's business, Tulip Tree Gardens, is not going to open for the season on time.The delay is due to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer's stay home order, which she recently extended until April 30 with tighter restrictions. "If Gov. Whitmer keeps everything closed past May 1, she'll kill agriculture," Morehouse said. "Half of what I've prepared to sell would be sold by Mother's Day."She said she believes any more extensions of the stay home order would bankrupt nurseries like hers. MORE: New map shows where COVID-19 cases are in countyMORE: Former judge David Reader to run for county prosecutorMORE: No Livingston County residents charged with order violationsBefore the spread of COVID-19 in the state, Morehouse was planning to open Saturday. She said the season ends for her in July, but most of her business is done in May and June. She said she is worried she will have to toss plants she's been growing and tending for months. The financial loss in equipment and investment in plants could be at least $45,000, not accounting for lost sales. She continues watering her plants every day, hopin... https://www.livingstondaily.com/story/news/local/community/livingston-county/2020/04/17/livingston-flower-nurseries-limbo-may-make-break-it-garden-centers/2986553001/
