Did you hear the big news!!?

Flowers are not just for Mother’s Day anymore!! Oh sure, Mom’s love flowers and we certainly know that everyone loves to give mom flowers on Mother’s Day. After all, that’s why you either call us, email us, or stop in to see us during the first week in May each year. I could go on telling you all about the beautiful vase arrangements of her favorite flowers, or share with you the flowering plants and hanging baskets of blooming annuals, but I won’t even mention it. Instead, I’d like to tell you about the other opportunities to give flowers during May.

During the month of May, flowers make wonderful gifts for a special friend’s birthday, or a close relative’s anniversary. You may know someone who needs cheering up. Perhaps you may need to say thank you to someone who was kind to you. Flowers can do all that!

During May, you or someone you know, might need prom or wedding flowers. We can create a custom bouquet, wrist corsage, or boutonnière to meet your specific needs. Maybe your favorite grandchild is in a dance recital or a theater performance that is deserving of a fresh bouquet of long lasting blossoms.

We all love our mothers. They hold a very special place in our hearts. I am sure they wouldn’t mind if you got a few flowers for all the others who would love to receive some this month. When you call us, we can help you make your selections.

I’d like to take a few moments to thank all my loyal customers, friends and family members who voted Michael Thomas Floral Design Studio as the best florist in the South Whitehall, Upper Macungie, Salisbury and Emmaus areas on “The Patch” Facebook page. I was moved and I very much appreciate your constant and continued support of Michael Thomas Floral Design Studio over the past 23 years.

In closing, I would like to remember how we end May each year. Memorial Day is a day set aside each year to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice with their lives, for our country and our freedoms. May they forever be in our hearts as we pay them with the honor they so rightly deserve.

May your month of May be a happy one,

Mickey

“Summertime and the living is easy, fish are jumpin’ and the cotton is high. . .” Cole Porter – Porgy & Bess

I wish I had a dollar for every time I sang this song. Remember summertime 30 – 35 years ago? We spent entire days on our bikes, either at the creek or at the pool. We really never worried about too much…we just needed to be home in time for supper – remember? We always sat down together for supper in the evenings. There were baseball games and roller skating at the park when I was younger. We would tie the laces of our skates together and get back on our bikes again. I can hear my mother saying “Just be home by 10 PM. Don’t make me come and get you!”.

Summertime was the best time of year as a teenager in a small town in Pennsylvania. There were festivals and carnivals in town and when they were over the fair would start. Ahhh, good times!

Obviously, The Fourth of July was the highlight of the summer. Fireworks, hotdogs, burgers, lawn chairs and the community band playing John Phillip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever”. How can you not love the Fourth of July? It’s the day we celebrate our independence. It’s a day to remember our freedoms as Americans and those patriots who paid for those freedoms. I wonder just what George, Ben and young Thomas Jefferson would say or think if they got a glimpse of America today. Hmmm…maybe in another newsletter.

One of the freedoms we have as Americans is to own and operate our own business…free enterprise, the American way. This summer make a conscious effort to support your neighbors and shop at the local businesses in your community. If we don’t, small businesses like the summers filled with days at the creek and roller skating at the park, will become a thing of the past…

Call us at 610.821.1051, or shop online at michaelthomasfloral.com for all your floral needs.

May your Fourth of July and your summer be a safe and enjoyable one. I hope your summer memories are as nostalgic as mine.

Happy July!

When I woke up this morning, the TV stations were all tuned in to their coverage of The Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. I had tuned in to see the flowers, the bouquets and the decorations, as all good florists would. They were elegant and understated. The thing that I found most intriguing, were the lady’s hats. Each one created with style and grace; chosen to enhance the dress or gown they had picked out to wear. Outside of the Kentucky Derby, when and where was the last time we saw hats worn by this many ladies in public, in the USA…maybe at a ‘Red Hat’ luncheon? I also though to myself, who would have to marry whom in the United States, to garner such interest and global media coverage? Maybe a major sports figure or superstar…how long would that last? I know there are some big prominent families, but none can rival those at the wedding of a British Royal. Sending all the best to England’s future King and his new bride, The Duchess of Cambridge.

May begins the wedding season in the flower shop. Bouquets of fragrant roses, full lush hydrangea, elegant lilies, orchids and stephanotis are being prepared for our princess brides. There will be bouquets for bridesmaids and flower girls, boutonnieres for the gentlemen and corsages for the ladies, as well as decorations for the ceremonies and receptions. We always look forward to “The Wedding Season” at Michael Thomas Floral Design Studio.

The biggest day for flowers in May, is without a doubt, Mother’s Day. This year Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 8th. Mother’s Day is the perfect time to say ‘Thank You’ and ‘I Love You’ to your mom. She has always done her best to give you everything she could. We will be featuring the freshest vase arrangements, beautiful baskets of spring flowers, full and lush hanging baskets, as well as many other selections to choose from.

Call us early at 610.821.1051, or go to our website at www.michaelthomasfloral.com to place your order. We will be open on Sunday, May 8th for your convenience.

At the end of May we commemorate the soldiers, airmen and sailors who made the ultimate sacrifices for our freedom. Memorial Day is Monday, May 30th. Please take the time this month to remember those who fought for our liberty and remember to thank our mother’s. Best wishes to the brides and grooms as they start their lives together, may they live happily ever after! Our flowers can help you honor each of these occasions with beauty and grace – created especially for you at Michael Thomas Floral Design Studio.

Happy May!!
