New Flower Arranger in Hermann

Posted on February 17, 2010 - 10:54pm
Hermann now has two floral shops: The Flower Shop and Hermann Florist

by Jeff Wright

Janelle Bickmeyer has achieved her goal of becoming a professional florist. Since opening her Das Blumen Haus or “The Flower Shop,” last month at 113 E. Fourth St., the Hermann native has already cultivated a repeat clientele.

“They like that I have small arrangements and that my cooler is stocked with arrangements; they don’t have to place an order,” said Bickmeyer. Her other forte is “little gift things” for $5-$10, “if you’re going to see a friend who’s down in the dumps. I’ve lived in town long enough to know those things weren’t available.”

Riverfront Cultural Society to host "Party to Dye For"

Posted on December 1, 2009 - 11:43am
The 1960s fashion is still going strong--at least it will be on Friday in New Haven.

The Riverfont Cultural Society will revive the not-so-ancient art of tie-dying at 7 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 4, when it hosts a "Party to Dye For." Dye enthusiasts are encouraged to bring T-shirts, socks, underwear, scarves, towels, tote bags, handkerchiefs, bandannas and baby clothes to color.

All items should be prewashed and 100 percent cotton. Visitors should also bring rubber or latex gloves, and instruction in tie-dying will be available.

Admission to the party is $2 per person, $5 for those who plan to dye.
