Watch: Floral entrepreneur blooms in Kingston | Loop News - Loop News Jamaica

Watch this video which was edited by Richard Baker. From Dear’s boutique flower shop, based at Waterloo Square, Kingston, customers have the option of purchasing a single stem or a wrapped bouquet. Persons can also pre-order larger floral arrangements. Dear is also looking to partner with local farmers to produce some of her own flowers in the Blue Mountain area. “COVID-19 has really shown me the importance of partnerships and being self-sufficient,” Dear told Young People in Business.

Uptown Flower Shop Sustained By Strong Saint John Roots - country94.ca

Ontario does have locally grown flowers so those are the closest local flowers we get,” said Dean. “Sometimes there’s someone on the Kingston Peninsula or Hampton that’ll bring in garden flowers that we can buy.” The business was founded by the late Guy G. Keirstead whose passion for flowers led him to first rent a stall at the City Market in 1925. Keirstead’s operated out of the market from 1925 to 1946, until he purchased property on the corner of Charlotte and Princess Street where the shop still operates to this day. A piece of family history (Image: Elizabeth MacLeod) The building survived the Great Saint John Fire of 1877 and used to be a hardware and butcher shop, which were later combined to make Keirstead’s. “You have some of the old coolers that we still have from back when they opened up this shop in the 40’s,” said Dean, showing where some of the flowers are stored now. The shop has been run by Guy’s great grandson, Brian Keirstead since 1999, who turned the building’s upper level into a museum and gift shop, selling works of local artists such as Fred Ross and Mary Galbraith until it closed a few years ago. From Mid-March to Easter Keirstead stayed open at reduced hours throughout the pandemic, then closed for a few weeks until they reopened before Mother’s Day on May 9. “It’s really difficult getting flowers right now. They’re just starting to come back, but it’s not where it used to be; it’s a little difficult and it’s a little pricier to get flowers right now too,” said Dean. “But other than that, as long as people give us a lot of notice for specialty items, we can get them in.” Working reduced hours and with a reduced stock of flowers during spring and prime flower-giving occasions, from Easter t...

Bob Shane, last original member of the Kingston Trio, dies at 85 - Los Angeles Times

Bob Shane, the last surviving original member of the popular folk group the Kingston Trio and the lead singer on its million-selling ballad “Tom Dooley” and many other hits, has died in hospice care in Phoenix.Shane, who died Sunday, was 85. Mike Marvin, a cousin and surrogate son of fellow Kingston Trio founder Nick Reynolds, confirmed the death but did not immediately know the cause.Shane, Reynolds and Dave Guard were performers in the San Francisco club circuit in the 1950s and broke through nationally in 1958 with their eponymous debut album, which featured “Tom Dooley,” an old standard inspired by a Confederate veteran’s conviction for murder. The song reached No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts, won a Grammy for best country and western song (no folk category existed) and helped launch the so-called folk revival, with other artists including Joan Baez; Peter, Paul and Mary; and, eventually, Bob Dylan.Clean-cut and amiable, they were criticized by some folk artists for being too slick and for avoiding political statements. But the Kingston Trio was one of t...

Royal Wedding Flowers: the Kent brides - Royal Central

Domain, Wiki Commons Lady Gabriella Windsor marries Thomas Kingston in May this year, becoming the latest in the current crop of royal brides. And as with all weddings with a regal hint, interest is already building over every aspect of the bridal party. From dress to tiara, what Ella (as her friends and family call her) will wear on her big day is causing plenty of excitement. Her bridal bouquet will also be pored over so as we wait to find out her picks, here’s a look back at the floral choices made by some of the House of Kent’s other royal women. Princess Marina, November 1934 Embed from Getty Images Princess Marina, Duchess of Kent’s huge wedding bouquet, carried to her marriage at Westminster Abbey on November 29th 1934, was dominated by lilies. Interest in this royal wedding was huge with the team responsible for growing the flowers photographed by newspapers beforehand. Katharine Worsley, York, 1961 Embed from Getty Images Katharine Worsley was the first royal bride at York Minster in over 600 years so when she wed Edward, Duke of Kent there on June 8th 1961 she carried a bouquet featuring the city’s famous flower. The new Duchess of Kent, who was born and raised at Hovingham Hall in Yorkshire, chose a posy full of the white rose of her home county. Her bridesmaids also carried arrangements of roses with rosebuds in their hair.
