Foxgloves and Roses flower arranger Nicola Roberton from Letcombe Bassett, near Wantage, shortlisted for best in the ... - The Oxford Times
Tuesday, February 21, 2017But it all comes down to a public vote and she has asked readers to champion her business before the deadline this week. Mrs Roberton, who lives with her husband, son and daughter in Letcombe Bassett near Wantage, said: "I'm not normally a big competition enterer, but I thought it would be good for my confidence. "For me it is a lifelong passion so it would be amazing to be recognise for doing it well." Mrs Roberton only set up her business Foxgloves and Roses six years ago but has already beautified 100 weddings. After going to St Swithun's primary in Kennington, where her parents Brian and Diane Moss still live, she went to Matthew Arnold School in Botley. Though she was always arty, she was encouraged to focus on something more serious and worked at a London PR firm, but still dreamed of becoming a florist. When she married David the couple moved back to Oxfordshire to raise their children and Mrs Roberton quit her city job. With a little more free time on her hands, she started growing flowers in the garden. She said: "I was digging up the lawn to grow more and more, then I started selling little bunches by the garden gate." When she started selling the cottage garden arrangements to other mums at the school, word rapidly spread and she was soon asked to do her first wedding. People fell in love with her natural style using seasonal flowers from her own garden in organic arrangements incorporating twigs and berries. She said: "After a couple of years doing weddings, I just s... http://www.oxfordtimes.co.uk/news/15074738.Mum_who_realised_lifelong_flower_arranging_dream_is_shortlisted_for_best_in_the_UK/

Tuesday, December 13, 2016Others allow their guests to take the flowers home. A husband and wife who were wed in Cooperstown over the weekend gave their arrangements to patients at Bassett Medical Center.Anna Politano and Tad Ruckert of Rochester, were married at the Otesaga Resort Hotel in Cooperstown on Saturday, according to Bassett officials. The next day, before leaving for Canada on their honeymoon, Politano and Ruckert collected the two dozen French bouquets from their wedding and delivered them to the Cooperstown hospital to be given to patients.The bride and groom have connections to the medical community, they said, so hospital patients are near to their hearts. Politano's mother, Denine Jacob, is director of compensation and benefits at Bassett. Ruckert is a third-generation obstetrician and gynecologist at his family’s Rochester medical practice, and he did his cardiology rotation at the Cooperstown hospital in his fourth year of medical school.His father, G.

Flowers found in centuries-old books at Antiquarian Society - Worcester Telegram
Tuesday, November 15, 2016Penn had signed his treaty with the Indians, and the Charter Oak in Connecticut. The leaves are stitched into the pages.A book of artfully arranged clippings of sea moss was a gift from Hannah Bassett to her sister, Lydia Kyte, in 1848. They were members of a Quaker family prominent in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. “The color is just gorgeous,” Ms. Cataldo said. “It is so delicate. You would think this is artwork and not an actual plant.”The society has four original poems by Emily Dickinson in its collection, and Ms. Cataldo showed one that the poet had sent to a friend in Amherst sometime between 1879 and 1881. “It was a poem about dandelions,” she said. “You can see here Emily or her friend pressed a dandelion in the poem itself. You can just see traces of it. It’s just the ghost of the dandelion.“You really do have this connection to the past through a living thing,” Ms. Cataldo said. “You really see that this was used and this was important to someone - a real sign of life.”These flowers, leaves and locks of hair are relics, small pieces of the lives experienced by people now long gone, she said.“A lot of the hair we have in the collection appears in school albums,” she said. “Young girls would pass along beautifully braided hair to a friend, and then sign their name, and maybe include a short poem about memory. A lot of these poems have to do with death. They were really thinking ahead: This was me, this was who I was.”Mrs. Bocian-Pellicane recalled her own experience picking wildflowers on a trip to Ireland, pressing them into her guidebook.“It gives you a sense of smell and seeing. It rejuvenates that memory more than just the words could.“It’s a piece of life, a piece of history, a piece of memory.”Let's block ads! a href="https://github.com/fivefil... http://www.telegram.com/news/20161112/flowers-found-in-centuries-old-books-at-antiquarian-society
