Looking for wedding or other special occasion flowers? New florist in Folsom can help
Brides and others looking for luxury floral bouquets and gifts will be able to find them at a new floral shop that will open in Folsom. Mayde Floral & Gifts is opening at 350 Palladio Parkway in the Folsom Palladio shopping plaza. The florist, which aims to open in late November, will specialize in seasonal floral arrangements and specialty bouquets. The shop is owned by Taylor Breshears, who was born and raised in El Dorado Hills. She said she had been seeking to fulfill a lifelong passion since her 20s, moving from careers in real estate and consulting to entrepreneurship, where she is putting her love for crafts and flowers to use. Breshears’ future in flower design came about after she made arrangements for victims of the November 2025 Stockton shooting. That’s when she realized how she could help others. “I really love people, relationships, and helping humanity,” Breshears said. “So I thought it’s a really good way to be a business owner and be able to do that at the same time.” Breshears also credits her career choice to early motherhood. She said becoming a mom at the age of 15 taught her responsibility and resilience that acclimated her

West Roseville Shopping Center Faces Appeal Over 16-Year-Old Environmental Study
SW Corner, Pleasant Grove Blvd. & Fiddyment Rd. — Approximate Site of Proposed Shopping C…. A 14.5-acre shopping center planned for the corner of Pleasant Grove Boulevard and Fiddyment Road in west Roseville is headed back before the city council Wednesday, after a neighborhood group appealed its approval over concerns that a 16-year-old environmental study doesn't account for everything built around it since. The project, known as Sierra View Shopping Center, calls for about 58,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, a gas station and drive-through restaurants — a fraction of what was once envisioned for the site.

Did you know the Sacramento Public Library lends kitchenware? What you can borrow
Shari Nichelini worked for the Sacramento Public Library for 42 years. Starting as a library assistant, she worked her way across many of the local libraries in the system before retiring as circulation services coordinator in early 2020 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit. “So much for all the retirement plans,” Nichelini said, in reference to stay-at-home orders brought on by the pandemic. Instead of presents at her January retirement party, she asked well-wishers to bring an interesting cake pan. Thanks in part to that retirement party, Sacramento library patrons can check out hundreds of different pans, muffin tins and cookie cutters from the Shari Nichelini Cake Pan Library . Inside the Library of Things There are plenty of paper-and-ink books at Sacramento’s 28 library locations and mountains of digital materials online. But the library was an early trailblazer in building what is known as a “Library of Things.” With a library card, people can borrow sewing machines, lawn-care tools, musical instruments and more. According to Christy Aguirre, collection management supervisor for the Sacramento Public Library, Nichelini “dreamed about introducing a cake pan library. For years, she talked about it.” To Aguirre, libraries that offered more than books is a no-brainer.
