Blooming for 30 Years: Flowerthyme Floral Studio

Tucked away on 135 Main Street in Wakefield is Flowerthyme Floral Studio, a floral shop that has been brightening South County with its vibrant arrangements for over 30 years. Owner Joy Rich first opened the doors of her cheery floral studio in June of 1993 after graduating from URI with degrees in plant science and business. Three decades later, Joy and her talented team of floral designers continue to be the go-to florist for floral deliveries, funeral arrangements, romantic weddings, and special events across Rhode Island.

Flowerthyme sets itself apart through its exceptional customer service and ability to bring any floral vision to life. The shop has a long history of giving back to the local community, whether by providing flowers to beautify church altars, hiring high school interns to teach the craft of floral design, or donating arrangements to various fundraisers and nonprofits. They actively participate in local celebrations as a way to connect with customers and spread cheer.

Even after 30 years, Joy still looks forward to continuing Flowerthyme's legacy by playing a special part in the meaningful occasions of customers for years to come. Brides can continue to count on Flowerthyme's team of devoted floral artists to create picture-perfect wedding flowers for their big day.

To learn more about Flowerthyme Floral Studio and see examples of their breathtaking floral work, visit their website at www.flowerthyme.com or follow them on Facebook and Instagram. Joy and her team look forward to continuing to bloom and grow within the South Kingstown community for years to come!

Rhode Island Home Prices Set to Continue Upward Trend in 2024, Report Suggests

A Realtor.com report forecasts continued growth in Rhode Island's home prices in 2024, particularly in the Providence-Warwick area, with an expected 3.9% sales increase and 3.1% price hike. This is in contrast to the national trend, where home prices are predicted to fall by 1.7%.

Flamingo Fun: Wakefield’s Holiday Stroll and Scavenger Hunt

Join in the festive fun at the Wakefield Holiday Stroll on December 9th from 11 am to 2 pm along Main Street, Wakefield, RI. Embark on a merry quest with our Flamingo Scavenger Hunt—find hidden flamingos in local stores, snap a photo, and share it on social media. Tag the business and Wakefield Village Association to enter a draw for a chance to win one of four $50 gift cards to a participating business of your choice.

While wandering through Wakefield’s winter wonderland, don't miss out on the chance to visit Santa and join in with the carolers. Bring an unwrapped gift or make a donation to the toy drive at designated locations like Arnold Lumber, South County Bread, or The Contemporary Theater.

And for a sprinkle of extra holiday spirit, make sure to meet Boom Box Santa! He'll be at the corner of Main and Robinson Street from 12 pm to 2 pm, handing out treats and spreading cheer.
