After 2017 fire, Blue Iris Flowers coming back to Catonsville - Baltimore Sun

The two-alarm fire last year started in the basement and burned through the upper levels of the more than 100-year-old three-story building, Baltimore County Fire Department Battalion Chief Blaine Kurrle told the Baltimore Sun last year. The building was empty at the time and no one was injured.Cary said she will bring the ribbon and the big scissors for the ribbon cutting, taking place at 10 a.m. on Monday, April 16.Glascock said thatafter the ceremony, the shop will be open for business throughout the day. Then in the evening, sometime after about 6 p.m., she said the shop will host an open house celebration with wine and snacks.The shop is known for its fresh-cut flowers, and Glascock said this time of year she is busiest filling wedding orders.Shoppers familiar with Blue Iris will see some new products, Glascock said, including locally or U.S.-made gift items, air plants, greeting cards and jewelry.Looking forward, Glascock hopes to stock a wider selection of easy-care indoor plants, like succulents and cacti.Glascock praised the Chamber and the Catonsville community for making her return possible.“Honestly, the entire community of Catonsville has rallied around us,” Glascock said. “People who we’ve never met before found us and rallied around us over the past year – following us to Arbutus, sticking by us, just generally being there for us.”“We’re excited to be back,” Glascock said. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/baltimore-county/catonsville/ph-ca-at-blue-iris-0411-story.html

Christian Florist: Gay Couples Have 'Every Right to Live the Way They Believe,' Christians Want the Same Freedom - Christian Post

June to hear his appeal. Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission is a major religious liberty case that is being closely watched by both sides of the same-sex marriage debate.Blaine Adamson, owner of t-shirt company Hands On Originals in Lexington, Ky., recently won in the Kentucky Court of Appeals, which allowed him to refer gay pride t-shirts to another vendor.When asked what advice he would give other business owners, Adamson said:"We all at some point in our lives will find ourselves at crossroads, where we have an issue of conscience, where we know there's something that we need to do. But whether it's out of fear or because it's the easy road, we decide to go against our conscience."When we make that choice, we lose something — in my case, what would have been freedom. We can't just kick the can for the next generation."Carl and Angel Larsen of Telescope Media Group, who refuse to use their video and film production company to document gay weddings, explained that they want to use their talents to capture truth."For us as storytellers, we want to tell the truth as we see it through the Bible. From the beginning to the very end," Carl Larsen said, conveying their belief that marriage is between one man and one woman.The Christian business owners on the panel emphasized on a number of occasions that they are not discriminating against gay people, but want to be afforded the freedom to live out their beliefs.Stutzman said at the conclusion of the hour-long panel:"If we lose this case, we lose everything. We lose our business, our retirement, our life savings, everything we've worked for for our kids and grandkids, because the attorney fees are going to be well over seven figures."Our employees lose their job, the city loses its taxes, our suppliers lose our business, simply because we don't have the same idea of marriage that Curt and Rob have."Stutzman expressed that when her grandchildren ask her what happened to her flower shop, or the Christian faith, she doesn't want to say "I did nothing."Follow Stoyan Zaimov on Facebook: CPSZaimov... http://www.christianpost.com/news/christian-florist-gay-couples-have-every-right-to-live-the-way-they-believe-christians-want-the-same-freedom-199027/

Hurricanes Causing Shortages At Minnesota Flower Shops - CBS Minnesota / WCCO

K&D.“It’s like a kid in a candy store,” she said with a smile.But even she’s had a stressful time running her store in Blaine, the Flower Shoppe, recently.“It has been a lot harder, there’s no question about it,” she said.She fills her shop with flowers from K&D. The company buys roses from South America, but they have to be shipped through Florida — a route Hurricane Irma aggressively interrupted.“When your supply chain completely stops for a week to 10 days, there’s obviously going to be an impact on what you receive on time,” said Eric Mahannah, the South American buy for K&D.On top of that problem, some of the greens they sell are grown in Florida.“One of our contacts at a farm there said it looked like a bomb went off in her fields,” he said.Mahannah said they planned ahead by buying a larger than normal supply before the hurricane hit, but the September wedding season drained them of their white roses.“People weren’t able to get every specific variety they wanted, but if they needed roses we had roses,” he said.“We’re also experiencing a lot of drive-by brides,” said Box. “Believe this or not, they don’t plan ahead. Their wedding’s in a couple of days, they want a wedding with 500 white roses or who knows, whatever color.”A truck filled with 70,000 roses arrived at K&D Wednesday morning Mahannah said, leaving them fully stocked and back to normal. Staff say they’re now fully stocked. Now with Hurricane Maria looming, florists like Box continue to worry.“It’s been tough, but we take the order and pray to god we’re able to get it. And we’ve been very successful in getting product,” she said. “I... http://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2017/09/20/hurricane-flower-shop-shortages/

Texas Florist Who Admitted to Being in Pelosi’s Office Wants Case Moved from D.C. Because of ‘Cancel Culture’ - Law & Crime

U.S. Capitol siege wants her case severed from a co-defendant she was charged with, and she also demands a change of venue, asserting she cannot get a fair trial in the liberal-heavy Washington, D.C. because of “cancel culture.” The defense for Texas florist Jenny Louise Cudd, who was on video happily admitting to being in the office of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, asserted authorities were creating the “illusion” of a conspiracy between her and Eliel Rosa by linking their cases.“According to the Government’s Statement of Facts, the two were seen on security footage walking into the building, walking around, and walking out,” attorney Marina Medvin said in a filing Wednesday. “There is no evidence of communications or a plan between the two to enter the Capitol. Instead, the evidence is purported to be that they were at the same place, at the same time, followed a crowd into the open doors of the Capitol building, then walked out. They didn’t take anything, they didn’t break anything.”Cudd was among rioters raiding the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, after then-President Donald Trump continued to lie that he actually won the 2020 presidential election.
