Farewells, Flashlights & Fall Events

posted by eric

Yes, it has been far too long since I've posted, I know. But I'm glad you're here and checking it out! We are fortunate to say it has been a very hectic season for the staff at Telly's, and a year well worth experiencing. Getting our new growing facility up and running was a huge undertaking, as was the opening of our new location in Shelby Township. This has kept us all very busy indeed!

FAREWELLS:
After all this time, some staff updates are sorely in order . . .

We were all very much saddened by the loss of Hector, our Bonsai expert this past July. It is under his tutelage that our Bonsai department was delveloped and nurtured, and he was a major contributor to the Four Seasons Bonsai Club of Michigan. He is fondly remembered, and the seeds he planted & shared with us continue to grow.


In August, we congregated one last time at The Gathering Place for mass reflections with our friend, co-worker, and designer extraordinaire, Sara. Off to Iowa to begin a new act in her life adventure, we all wish her well in this, the newest part of her journey. We will miss both her presence and her spirit, as well as her unstoppable inspirations & jaw-dropping botanical creations.
- Our loss is Iowa's gain - far more than they could yet know . . .


FLAHSLIGHTS:
Our 6TH Annual Flashlight Sale was an absolute blast! Perhaps singularly, the most fun shopping event of the year, we always look forward to it & really enjoy the flashlit ambiance of the hundreds of guests who attended this exclusive event! - Thanks to everyone who participated! (If you missed it, look for it to roll around again - next September!)

FALL EVENTS:
Our Fall Class Schedule is on-line, and, although these events are free, we always appretiate those who take the time to "pre-register" (it gives us a fighting chance to plan for your attendance). I've added a new page to the website which should make it easier to browse the class list, and quick-links to pre-register on-line in mere seconds! CLICK HERE to check it out!
