Artistry with flowers - Newport News Times
Wednesday, December 02, 2020Richardson said, “but there’s a lot of great gift shops in Newport, so my gifts are kind of limited to what I can sell with flowers. I carry some bath and beauty products, some gourmet coffee and chocolates, balloons.”Newport Florist can deliver anywhere in Lincoln County for an additional charge, and people can order flowers directly through the website — NewportFloral.com. “I love my website because it’s all pictures of things we’ve made here and photographed and then uploaded to our website,” she said.Richardson also enjoys the opportunity to offer classes to people in the community. Recently, a group of people gathered to create Halloween centerpieces. “Thanksgiving centerpieces is one (class) we have coming up, and a Christmas wreath class is coming up,” she said, “whatever is in season. I was thinking after the New Year we would do a succulent class, where people would put together a little succulent in a wood box or a vase or something like that. It’s just kind of a fun experience to come over here, have a glass of wine, make something pretty and take it home. And learn some things, too, like the tricks of floral design.”She also offers some multi-session classes. “Right now we’re in the middle of a 10-week floral design class, kind of like the fundamentals of floral design. This next year, I’m going to have one kind of like that about weddings.”People can learn about classes on Newport Florist’s Facebook and Instagram pages, and they can also get on an email list by calling the shop at 541-265-8262 or emailing [email protected]Richarson said she also has plans for the future. “One of the things I really want to do is set up one of my tables to be a DIY (do it yourself) station. Somebody could come in and say, ‘Oh, it’s my sister’s birthday tomorrow,’ and I’ll facilitate you making an arrangement for your sister. I’ve never seen it before, but I think it would be really cool.“We have this nice big space on the side of the building,” she added, “so Ryan wants to build a big covered patio out there and sell some outdoor plants. We’d like to have some nursery things out there. I’d also like to eventually offer things like coffee and tea, maybe scones or something.”Newport Florist and Gifts is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday. They are closed on Sunday. Tarrah Richardson is the owner of Newport Florist and Gifts, which recently moved to a new location.

Olive Leaf Throat Spray and Flower Arrangements to Fund Mission - Adventist Review
Wednesday, October 28, 2020By: Vania Chew, Adventist Record, and Adventist ReviewA few years ago, Waitara Seventh-day Adventist Church in New South Wales, Australia, discussed how they could make 13th-Sabbath offerings more special. In Seventh-day Adventist congregations around the world, a percentage of offerings gathered at the end of each quarter are directed to preapproved special projects in a specific region. Local church leaders were looking for ways to encourage church members to put money aside for the offerings each week instead of relying on whatever was available in pockets and purses on the day.“I thought this was a great idea,” says church member Marilene Stevenson. “I remember that people used to do all kinds of things to raise money for 13th Sabbath, from baking cakes to growing veggies and then selling them to others. I wondered if I could do something similar.”At that stage, Marilene didn’t have the time — or inclination — to bake cakes and grow vegetables. However, she had started using a particular product — olive leaf throat spray — that she found helpful and had been recommending to others. When other people expressed interest in this product, Marilene came up with the idea of buying the item wholesale and selling it to the interested parties. Any profit that was made would then go directly toward her 13th-Sabbath offering.Marilene also visited the flower markets regularly and began making floral arrangement... https://www.adventistreview.org/church-news/story15608-olive-leaf-throat-spray-and-flower-arrangements-to-fund-mission

Go to https://www.motawi.com/.Survey: Kitchens, bathrooms favorite rooms to renovateA new survey of 87,000 homeowners found baby boomers and Gen X homeowners are doing the most renovations and kitchens and guest bathrooms are the most popular spaces to tackle. The 2020 Houzz & Home Survey analyzed renovation trends from both 2019 and so far in 2020 and found 85 percent are being done by baby boomers or Generation X, up from 82 percent in the last survey. Kitchens and bathrooms are the rooms most homeowners renovate -- 27 percent of respondents redoing kitchens while 25 percent were doing bathrooms -- though home offices are growing in popular. The median renovation price tag, meanwhile, dipped slightly to $13,000 from $15,000 in 2018, the survey found. To see the survey, click here. Do your part to help pollinatorsNational Pollinator Week ended June 28, and if there was ever a time to support our pollinators, now is it. Pollinators -- such as bees, butterflies and birds -- move pollen from flowers of the same species, leading to fertilization and later seed and fruit production for plants. According to the Pollinator Partnership, roughly 1,000 plants grown for food, beverages, fibers, spices, and medicines need to be pollinated by animals in order to produce the goods on which we depend. But as pollinators' habitat disappears, threatening their existence, we need to help. One way to help butterflies is to plant native plants, such as milkweed for monarch butterflies. Ten milkweed species are native to Michigan – the most widespread of which are common milkweed, butterfly milkweed and swamp milkweed. If you'd like to plant milkweed in your own yard, Barson's Greenhouse, 6414 Merrimen in Westland, carries milkweed.

A devoted florist gives each 9/11 victim a white birthday rose - Anchorage Daily News
Wednesday, December 02, 2020NEW YORK — Every Sept. 11, Michael Collarone, a Brooklyn-bred florist who goes by Mikey Flowers, has the same routine. In the hours before 8:46 a.m., the time the first plane struck the World Trade Center 19 years ago, he parks his truck in downtown Manhattan and, bearing buckets of angelic white roses, walks to the site where he once helped scour for victims' remains in the twin towers' smoldering wreckage. There, the burly 62-year-old meets up with “my guys” from the Port Authority police. This year, he will be wearing a mask for the first time and, for social distancing reasons, the victims' names will be played from recordings on a loudspeaker rather than read aloud from a stage, but little else will change for him. “I’m going to hug my friends,” he says. “I’m going to hug my guys.” Collarone’s steadfast devotion to honoring the victims of 9/11 isn’t a once-a-year kind of thing, though. He’s been the de facto volunteer florist to Ground Zero since it was known around the city... https://www.adn.com/nation-world/2020/09/10/a-devoted-florist-gives-each-911-victim-a-white-birthday-rose/
Philly florists bring beauty back to voting with public installations across the region - The Philadelphia Inquirer
Wednesday, October 28, 2020What they do have are flowers — a lot of them. So to highlight the beauty of voting and nip the negativity in the bud, they’ve teamed up with 15 other florists across the Philadelphia region, New York, and New Jersey for United by Blooms, a nonpartisan outdoor floral installation event from Oct. 14-16 aimed at promoting voting. “By incorporating it with flowers, we bring back a positive connotation to the actual process of voting,” Lam said. #right-rail .newsletter-card,.newsletter-card.hidden-desktop{display:none} Inquirer Morning Newsletter Get the news you need to start your day United by Blooms is the brainchild of farmer-florist Kate Carpenter, co-owner of EMA (East Mount Airy) Blooms. Participating florists and growers, who donated their time and flowers to the project, were asked to provide a positive public experience while raising awareness about voting. Designers were encouraged to put their installations near mailboxes or ballot drop boxes (but not on them), to highlight voting by mail and the necessity of the U.S. Postal Service, which has faced its share of heavy criticism this year, too. “It’s an opportunity to thank the postal workers, who are essential workers, and to get the community engaged about participating in our democracy,” said Carpenter, 35. “Plus, it gives growers and designers the chance to take their talents to the streets of Philadelphia and give people something to enjoy right now.” Carpenter’s design, which she created with her business partner, Courtney Jewell, was inspired, in part, by the rainbows that people placed in their windows for children’s scavenger hunts during the height of quarantine. Several rainbow-colored chalk paths lead to the installation at Green Street and Carpenter Lane in Mount Airy, where flowers crawl up a stop sign and flow out from underneath the mailbox nearby.

New York City's ‘Flower Flash’ Florist Designs a Display for Ralph Lauren - Architectural Digest
Wednesday, October 28, 2020The whole idea of the flower flash is to give back, to give joy,” explains Lewis, who has created eye-popping arrangements for New York’s most revered cultural institutions (including MoMA, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the New York Public Library, and the Whitney) as well as a who’s who of fashion and media brands (Vogue, HBO, and Netflix). “We live in a crazy world and we’re a little bit starved for joy—if we can have a feel-good moment, that’s really important right now.”On October 23, his second installation will bloom outside Macy’s Herald Square. And in an engaging twist, the art is meant to be touched. Shoppers will be encouraged to pluck flowers to take home, part of an effort to spread love (and the #pinkpony hashtag) around the city.“It’s a gift to New York—take a picture or take a blossom,” Lewis says, emphasizing that the temporary nature of his flashes is what makes them so powerful: “You go from this larger-than-life still life to a scattering of leaves on the ground—that’s the life it was meant to live. There’s a strange beauty in the disarray as well.”Another Miller creation outside of a subw... https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/ralph-lauren-flower-flash
