Celina Flower Shop News

A rose by any other name: Celina flower shop ready for big day - Star Local Media

Darlene McLeod is busy these days, and she’s up against a tight deadline. McLeod purchased Celina Flowers and Gifts in 2002 from a group of designers who were upset about the flower shop in Celina going bankrupt. Having a bachelor of science in math and computer science and enough credits to have a master’s in art gives McLeod just the right balance to run a successful florist. What is the shop’s coverage area?We deliver to Celina, Prosper, north Frisco, Gunter, Pilot Point, Aubrey and Little Elm. But for Valentine’s Day we have to narrow our delivery area to Celina, Prosper and Gunter. What has been your favorite part of owning a local business? In the flower business you learn a lot about different people in the community. I’ve made many new friends over the last 15 years that I would have never met if I had not purchased Celina Flowers and Gifts. What are your strengths?I’ve always been good at guessing what is coming next and making my events run smoothly.  What has been the most challenging part?   Educating the public about how much the internet flower gathers are cost... http://starlocalmedia.com/celinarecord/a-rose-by-any-other-name-celina-flower-shop-ready/article_546ea86c-efcd-11e6-8809-f3d5af7ef5a2.html

Business of Fashion's spring show brings more than floral prints and sundresses - The State Press

State PressThe Business of Fashion Club debuted their spring collection Saturday on the Downtown Campus. The collection featured men's pieces from Nebraska-based designer Christopher DiGiorgio. By Celina Jimenez 19 hours agoWhen one thinks of spring fashion, the first things to come to mind are generally excessive florals and conventional pastels. Business of Fashion at ASU broke the mold Saturday night at their third annual spring show, balancing structure with flow and neutrality with boldness. But the clothes themselves weren't the only ones making a statement that night – the venue, the intimate setting, the down-to-earth energy and the sociable audience all contributed to the vision for the show that its coordinators had all along. The difference between this year's soft theme and cozy venue and last year's grungier vibe and edgy location was obvious and was met with positive feedback from the audience. "This year I feel like it's a little bit more my style," business communication sophomore Marie Hanson said. "I'm kind of into more airy, girly, a little more chic. Last year was a little grungier, but it worked for the show. So I feel like this is going to work too."BOF members and outside attendees alike all see... http://www.statepress.com/article/2016/04/asa-business-of-fashion-show-spring-style

Sounding Off: Readers discuss Flower Mound's sex offender ordinance - Dallas Morning News

Yet it seems unfair to restrict a city to the extreme that there is literally no place for them to live in that city. A Catch-22 if there ever was one.Norman Pickett, Celina: I’m not sure why we bother with all the legal incarceration costs if after they pay their debt to society folks like Flower Mound can’t let them live life again. It’s kind of stupid if you ask me.Daver Lapka, Southlake: Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. stated that a man's right to swing his arm ends when it infringes on another person’s nose — and that seems very fair. For a person to be a registered sex offender, they have to have committed a crime that violated the above rule. Government’s role is to create environments that are safe and secure for all of the residents that pay taxes to live there. Since psychologists tell us they can never cure the affliction that causes individuals to behave in illegal sexual behavior, the government has a responsibility to keep those people away from those of us who haven’t and might not feel safe for our families to be around them. If they don’t, they are in effect sanctioning individuals to enact their own protections and retributions for criminal trespass. http://www.dallasnews.com/news/community-news/northwest-dallas-county/headlines/20151120-sounding-off-readers-discuss-flower-mounds-sex-offender-ordinance.ece

Dayton Tennessee, pop up flower shop – The Triangle - Triangle

Written by: Eleanor Sanford, staff writerDAYTON, Tenn. – Love is in the air as Valentine’s day is quickly approaching. Every store in Dayton, Tennessee, is filling up with heart-shaped items and red roses. I recently met a local business owner, Lacey Raburn, who owns Raburn Acres. Raburn Acres is a local flower farm and florist that has been in Dayton for the past three years. I met Lacey at a pop-up flower shop hosted at Jennings Coffee & Tea. She brought in six buckets filled with colorful bouquets, and people began rolling in. Within 30 minutes, she had sold out. Lacey has a pop-up shop every Thursday morning from 10:30-12:30 at Jennings. She and her family have a farm where they plant and grow all their own flowers, which she crafts into some amazing bouquets and sells to the community. Lacy is currently working on creating her own workshop, she used to create all the bouquets from her kitchen counter, but as of January, she said, “I went from selling 15-20 bouquets each week to selling 50-60 every week.” She just opened a self-serve mini flower stand across from the golf course in Dayto... http://www.bryantriangle.com/news/dayton-tennessee-pop-up-flower-shop/

Moribana (‘piled up flowers’) is one of the expressions of this art, combining several clusters in natural-looking shapes and a mound of beautiful flowers to create a naturalistic landscape complementing the different seasons. My presentation will show the variety of containers and flowers that can be used as well as how the various design f... http://www.chattanoogapulse.com/events/ikebana-moribana-art-japanese-flower-arranging/

Tallahassee's florist to the Legislature - Florida Politics

Elinor Doyle.Just to be clear, there was an Elinor Doyle, who started the business in 1926, but she has been dead for nearly half a century. Her picture, however, hangs in the Tennessee Street storefront, keeping watch over owner Roxie Anne Clark and Liz Santini (who has worked there for 23 years) who will be preparing hundreds of arrangements before the Session starts Tuesday.A deluge of work after a busy Christmas season because of the even-year early Session isn’t a particularly unique challenge, Clark said.“We are coming out of the holiday season, but it’s not necessarily any worse than having it a little after Valentine’s Day, so it’s kind of the same thing,” she commented.Valentine’s Day is the No. 1 busiest day of their year, but at Elinor Doyle Florist, the start of Session is definitely No. 2. The team will work long hours over the weekend before Session begins to assure their flowers arrive in peak form. They’ll start with dish gardens, which will get a colorful addition of red mini carnations and white cushion mums right before delivery Monday. (An aside to the aides: Those gardens will last throughout Session if they’re watered weekly and kept in a not-too-sunny spot.)Florida’s chiropractors will again be gifting each member of the House and Senate with sunflowers. Orchids are on hand, a favorite gift from lobbyist Ron Book, who always sends a large basket of the tropical blooms to his daughter, Sen. Lauren Book.
