Suits Star Abigail Spencer On Her Florist Side Hustle and Self-Care - The Kit
Wednesday, October 28, 2020He is a famous professional surfer, and I grew up with my family in surf shops. I grew up surfboard slinging, going to the surf shops and going on road trips with my dad to the beach. We’d watch the waves for hours before we’d even get in the water because you had to know where the peak of the wave was. That was a lot of my childhood.Take a breath and do something good for you. Get the best wellness, health and fitness ideas and more, all in our daily newsletter.My dad and I were very close, he was my best friend. We talked every day and he was out here visiting me and my son who was young at the time. He drove out to his favourite surf spot, County Line [in Malibu], for a surf. He called me on the way and said, ‘It’s a knock-down drag-out beautiful day, let’s have Valentine’s Day dinner tonight.’ He went out for a surf and then an hour later 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... https://thekit.ca/life/celebrity-life/abigail-spencer-suits-county-line-florals/
The Best Gift for a Flower Lover Is Moda Operandi's Flash Flower Box - TownandCountrymag.com
Monday, August 24, 2020New York City, bursting out of trash cans and perched next to subway entrances. Each box—there are two you can choose from, Country Wildflower, or Beach Bloom—contains enough blooms for several generous arrangements. They're also accompanied by a series of breezy instructional videos starring Miller himself, explaining how to trim, hydrate, and arrange your flowers.The gift here is not just the gorgeous blossoms but the chance to spend an hour arranging them. My box arrived, neatly packed with 15 creamy white peonies, 10 stems of upright bouvardia, 10 stems of soulful, green helleborus, and 20 stems of cheerful white spray roses. I arrayed my collection of vases, pulled out my clippers, and for a brief moment in time I thought about nothing more than color, proportion, and the balance of green and white. It was a tonic. Here's a sampling of my handiwork: Elizabeth Angell(My only complaint is that I do not own a lazy susan for properly positioning my vase as I work to fill it. I may have to upgrade my set up for future floral-arranging sessions.)The incredible arrangements are available for one more week; a Standard Box is $265 and a Delux is $425. Even better, Moda Operandi will donate $15 from the sale of each Standard Box and $25 from each Deluxe Box to The Loveland Foundation, in support of its mission to bring opportunity and mental health services to Black women, girls, and communities of color. div clas... https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a32910308/moda-operandi-lewis-miller-flash-flower-box/
Newly opened flower shop in Grand Forks concerned about future prospects - Grand Forks Herald
Wednesday, December 02, 2020She got assistance to open her shop in the form of loans through the growth fund in Grand Forks, as well as the Bank of North Dakota. The loans totaled about $27,000, with another $9,000 chipped in out of her own pocket. Most of the money went towards the flower cooler. The coronavirus pandemic that wrought havoc on businesses, brought with it billions of dollars in relief money. That money has dried up, and the Small Business Administration announced Thursday that there would be no more loans until Congress replenishes the programs. Alexander didn’t think her business qualified for the loans anyway. listen live watch live “We don't have a lot of the qualifications required like a W2 employee, or 12 months of history, or having all of these assets, like your taxes and all of those things,” Alexander said. “We're brand new, so we're still impacted by the virus; we just don't qualify for that funding.” Alexander said she didn’t think the government took into account new businesses, such as hers, in the rush to create the relief program that became the CARES Act. “They obviously didn't take into consideration my loans and my lease,” Alexander said. “All of that stuff was signed before this virus outbreak happened.” She has houseplants available in her shop, as well a... https://www.grandforksherald.com/business/5213735-Newly-opened-flower-shop-in-Grand-Forks-concerned-about-future-prospects
Fort Collins woman gets traditional wedding, prepares for death on own terms - Coloradoan
Thursday, April 02, 2020I don’t like to see her like this,” he said. “It’s not fair to her because it’s just going to get worse.”Bob and Debra have known each other since 1973, when they were teenagers growing up in Fargo, North Dakota. They were friends for a long time, had fallings-out but made up, and eventually went their separate ways.Both married and then divorced. They found each other again, and Bob invited Debra to join him in Colorado.They were married in 1988 by a justice of the peace in Jefferson County. Bob adopted Debra’s son and daughter, and life with its ups and downs went on. Bob and Debra have five grandchildren and a great-grandchild on the way.While recent times have been dark for the family because of Debra’s deteriorating health, they enjoyed a bright time in February, thanks in large part to the kindness of strangers.Debra and Bob had talked for a long time about renewing their wedding vows. Debra let it be known she would enjoy a traditional wedding ceremony and reception — experiences she never had.Her daughter, Jennifer, sprang into action. With money tight because of Debra’s medical needs, Jennifer posted a request for wedding decorations on the Facebook group Free in Larimer County. She explained her mother was terminally ill.The response was overwhelming, Jennifer said. People donated everything that would be needed for a wedding, including flowers, decorations, and a dress and shoes for the bride. People volunteered to do Debra’s hair, makeup and nails so she would look her best on the big day.Everything came together in six days.Pathways donated space at its Fort Collins facility. The ceremony took place Feb. 15, the day after Valentine’s Day.Every family member had a role in the ceremony. Their 9-year-old grandson, Drake, served as best man.“Everything was done for me, and bless their hearts for doing that,” Debra said. “It just tells me that Fort Collins still has a heart, that the people of this town are still the best.”Gratitude is part of the message Debra wants to send to the community in her final days. She is especially thankful for the care she has received from Pathways, a nonprofit that has served the community for decades.“They are the best,” she said. “All I have to do is call and they are right here for me.”And she is grateful to her family, who has stood by her for so many years, in good times and in bad. She said Bob has been her “rock” and the “strongest man I’ve ever known.”She knows he’ll be strong for the family after she is gone.“It has been a very good life,” she said. “My family has always been number one in my life. I can go to sleep knowing they will be OK. Papa will be there.”Kevin Duggan is a senior columnist and reporter.

Master Gardener: Four Generations Bloom at Adeline's Peonies - Yakima Herald-Republic
Tuesday, July 23, 2019Adeline’s Peonies was established in 1933 by Adeline McCarthy in Toppenish, and her family has been raising peonies there ever since.Born in North Dakota in 1896, Adeline Klinger eloped with Frank McCarthy when she was just a teenager and traveled with him to Toppenish in a covered wagon. They arrived in 1915 and built their home on 2.5 acres, right next to the railroad tracks, at what is now 502 Asotin Ave. Looking at the neighborhood today, it seems as if the city of Toppenish grew up around the McCarthy home.There, in a charming cottage painted a sunny shade of yellow, the McCarthys raised nine boys and one girl. Frank, a mechanic, built a shop on the property. Adeline planted a vegetable garden to feed her family, and a flower garden for herself. Perhaps peonies reminded her of home. Native to dry, frigid mountainsides in China, all peonies require a long period of winter chilling (400 hours of temperatures below 32 degrees) before they will bloom. The quintessential “old-fashioned” flower, peonies were likely well-known to a girl who grew up in North Dakota.Grit and determination shaped Adeline’s character. In the 1930s, her business began when she started... https://www.yakimaherald.com/magazine/home_and_garden/master-gardener-four-generations-bloom-at-adeline-s-peonies/article_ec0be22a-95ab-5a3d-bfdc-667652c6bd8a.html
