So I really had no other choice. Originally, I was very upset, but now I\u2019m just really excited to have a bright, new space. It\u2019s going to be on College Hill, where I live, and I\u2019m looking forward to making it a real community spot. There\u2019s a lot of homes and families that live within walking distance of the building, and we\u2019re going to be carrying even more gifts and ready-to-go arrangements.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>

celebrations.<\/p>\n<p>Beautiful designs showcase various premium blooms, including hydrangea, roses, carnations, sunflowers, snapdragons and dianthus, among others.<\/p>\n<p>Custom arrangements can be made to show appreciation, celebrate births and other special moments and lift spirits during illness and other difficult times.<\/p>\n<p>The shop offers delivery of its floral arrangements within a roughly 15-mile radius, serving customers in other parts of the Lehigh Valley such as Bangor, Nazareth and Bethlehem as well as western New Jersey, Moody said.<\/p>\n<p>A selection of pre-made arrangements that customers can purchase during walk-in visits will expand at the new location, situated about a mile north of its current spot, Moody said.<\/p>\n<p>                        <img

Chocodiem.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love Chocodiem chocolates, but because I\u2019m British, I also carry some British chocolates as well,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>Bloomies was established by Terri Freeman

part in special moments by crafting beautiful, fragrant and one-of-a-kind floral creations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love what I do,\u201d Moody said. \u201cI have a couple of weddings this week, which is always very fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On College Hill, Bloomies will operate next to Mexico Lindo Mexican restaurant and will occupy an updated space that previously housed a yoga studio.<\/p>\n<p>Moody looks forward to bringing a florist back to her College Hill neighborhood, filling a void left by the closure of the longstanding Posey Peddler flower shop a few doors down more than a decade

Ryan Kneller<\/p>\n<p>Hours will expand at the new location, Moody said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe shop will continue to operate Tuesday through Saturday, but I\u2019m going to stay open later because I feel
