New business to plant roots in Grafton - Mountain Statesman

I wanted to add something a little different for individuals to choose from.”That, in part, led Sturm to set out on the adventure of owning her very own shop, a florist/wine specialty shop.Sturm is no stranger to the floral industry, having worked at Bloomer’s Florist previously. She said that the ladies she worked with were wonderful teachers and trainers, and she is ready to put her skills to the test.“I have always loved flowers and when I worked at Bloomer’s, I loved it. I was the happiest working a job that I had ever been,” she said.She said that after the loss of two dear friends at an early age in life, four to five years ago, it hit her that her time on earth was not promised and that she truly needed to follow her dreams because life really is too short.“I decided I wanted to open this shop. I figured, let’s just do it, what is the worst that can happen,” Sturm added.Sturm revealed that the process has been quick, but she is ready to get started.“I approached my husband Tom with the idea in August, and he was immediately on board and supportive. In October, I left my full-time job and I’ve been down here working in the store ever since,” she said.The Flower Market will have something for everyone. From flowers and home décor to wines and wine accessories, the shop is a sure to be a hit with the community.Sturm shared that she will be carrying a couple of sparkling wines, some whites, Moscato, roses and some reds, as well as a white and red sangria.In addition, she will also be selling fresh floral arrangements and bouquets; silk arrangements and wreaths, balloons and plushes. The Flower Market will also offer food items including Mountain State Honey; pasta, sauces and olives from the Pennsylvania Macaroni Company; dipping herbs, oils and vinegars from the Olive Tap in Pittsburgh; and delectable, delightful Sarris Chocolates.“The inventory will rotate, and I am getting involved with a couple of thing... https://mountainstatesman.com/article/new-business-to-plant-roots-in-grafton

Dear Abby: Boyfriend kindly ordered flowers, but they arrived looking tattered - Chicago Sun-Times

It was one of those box-of-flowers deliveries. I doubt my boyfriend realized they would not arrive in a vase and arranged by a florist. Instead, they had been packed in a box, without water, with the vase packed alongside, delivered by a regular package courier. I usually send him a photo of my bouquet along with my heartfelt thanks, and while I thanked him as usual, I did not send a picture of the bouquet because I knew he would feel bad — both about the lackluster arrangement, and the money he had spent on them.I found what I believe was the intended arrangement on the website, and it was lovely — a far cry from what was delivered to me. I love my twice-a-year flowers (birthday and Christmas), and I don’t want to come across as critical or ungrateful. I am blessed to have such a thoughtful partner. If flowers were just a one-time gift, I would not even consider mentioning it. However, with Valentine’s Day (and another flower delivery) approaching, I wonder if I should let my boyfriend know that it might be better to use a local florist to ensure he is getting his money’s worth. Or should I just cross my fingers that it was a one-off? — UNGRATEFUL GIRLFRIENDDEAR “UNGRATEFUL”: Tell your boyfriend why you didn’t send him a photo of the flowers he sent as you usually do... https://chicago.suntimes.com/2020/1/18/21071522/dear-abby-boyfriend-kindly-ordered-flowers-but-they-arrived-looking-tattered

Flowers of Point Loma at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd. is celebrating 35 years. The full-service florist shop now owned by Penn Bryan has lasted 35 years in Point Loma by customizing its business to meet its customers’ needs.“We were looking to find a flower stand to start out, and saw that the flower shop on the corner was up for sale,” said Bryan of how she and her husband acquired the business, Flowers of Point Loma, now at 2170 Chatsworth Blvd., from a retiring brother-sister team who’d had it since 1985.“I found my niche doing things that people wanted,” noted Bryan. “No other flower shops do what we do here.”The previous owners stayed with the Bryans for a year to help transition them into the floral business. That was good, added Penn, pointing out she had no previous experience with flowers.“I wanted to have kids and take them where I work,” Bryan said. “My daughter grew up in this flower shop.”Bryan fulfills her customer’s expectations, whatever they are. “They can make up their own bouquets or we can make it for them,” she said. “We’ve been here so long and people k... http://www.sdnews.com/view/full_story/27692651/article-Flowers-of-Point-Loma-still-blooms-after-35-years--?instance=pb

Flowers and Vessels @ Wildroot Floral - Buffalo Rising

Plants, Wildroot was not quite open. Up until a few hours ago, I had not actually paid a visit to Wildroot, though I had previously announced their arrival. The new shop, owned and operated by florist Kayla Grazen, is a breath of fresh air for lovers of cut flowers, floral arrangements, and… pots and vases! My mother could not believe the selection of beautiful vessels offered up by Wildroot. During the visit, she talked about her ongoing search in Buffalo for the perfect pairings. Not only did she discover at least half a dozen pots that she loved, she also pointed out that they were very affordable, which is unusual in a boutique floral shop. As if Daddy’s Plants wasn’t great enough, the addition of Wildroot creates a plant and floral emporium that is a real pleasure to browse and shop. While Daddy’s Plants specializes in a variety of potted plants, Grazen has mastered the floral element. She even has access to a giant refrigerator that once belonged to Bootleg Bucha. That means that she can create the floral arrangements for customers, and keep them chilled until they are picked up. Grazen told us that all of the arrangements inside the fridge were all custom orders. She also said that if she ever gets any free time, she will try to have some more floral arrangements available for customers who stop in on a whim. But for now, she’s simply answering to customers’ a l carte demands, which is taking up most of her time.Kayla Grazen on rightBefore leaving, we collectively purchased ... https://www.buffalorising.com/2019/12/flowers-and-vessels-wildroot-floral/

Masterpiece Cakeshop owner Jack Phillips: Florist Barronelle Stutzman deserves another chance at justice - Fox News

The two continued to talk, and she asked about his engagement story. Before he left, Barronelle referred Rob to three nearby florists she knew would do a good job for him. They hugged, and Barronelle hoped they would stay friends. Arlene's Flowers, Richland, Wash. Because of this decision guided by her religious convictions, Barronelle became the target of the Washington attorney general’s highly publicized lawsuit — initiated without a complaint from Rob. That lawsuit and another one later brought by the ACLU have taken away her wedding business and now threaten to destroy her financially.The state of Washington has turned Barronelle’s life upside-down just because it disagrees with her beliefs about marriage. She deserves better. She deserves the freedom to celebrate marriages that are consistent with her faith — without the government harassing her.When news of Barronelle’s decision hit the media, Rob was inundated with enough offers for free floral designs that he could have decorated 20 weddings. But because of the attorney general’s lawsuit, Barronelle was inundated with hate-filled phone calls, e-mails, and Facebook messages that contained profanity, attacks on her faith, and threats against her safety, including a threat to burn down her shop.More than six years later, Barronelle remains in litigation. Losing these cases could cost her nearly everything she owns. I know some of what she’s going through. I’ve lived it. And she sat in the U.S. Supreme Court near me watching my attorney argue my case in front of the justices.After hearing my case, the Supreme Court said that my relig­ious beliefs about marriage “are protected views,” and that the gov­ernment must treat those beliefs with tolerance and respect. Because my state’s hostility toward my beliefs was so blatant, the Supreme Court didn’t fully address all the questions about my rights as an artist and creator.In 2018, the Supreme Court looked at Barronelle’s case in light of mine and decided to send it back to the Washington Supreme Court for reconsideration.In June of last year, I was disappointed when the Washington court punished Barronelle again and reissued most of its previous decision word for word. The court concluded that, even though government commissions like the one in my case can’t act with hostility toward religion, government officials like the Washington attorney general are free to do just that. That makes no sense.But now my friend Barronelle has another chance at justice. The Supreme Court has already said that “reasonable and sincere people” of faith hold the “decent and honorable” beliefs we share. If you knew Barronelle like I do, you would know that she’s not only reasonable and sincere but also remarkably kind.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPThe state of Washington has turned Barronelle’s life upside-down just because it disagrees with her beliefs about marriage.
