Sweet Violets Flowers

09/02/2024

Hello friends,

I wanted to thank everyone for the amazing support and love over the past month. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I must say my heart is completely full after spending a month connecting and being with my family. I feel very fortunate and loved.

Brenna, Anna and Emma are the backbone of this business and work so very hard every day of the year making beauty at Sweet Violets. And I thank them from the bottom of my heart for everything they do, making Sweet Violets a special place. I sincerely hope they also enjoyed this month with their family and friends as much as I did.

I am looking forward to reconnecting with my SV family this week feeling grounded and rejuvenated. I’m excited to see everyone’s smiling face in the season to come.

See you Tuesday. Love Kelli ###xx

Sweet Violets - the name💗

My beautiful nanny grew African violets as a side hustle (before that was a thing) in her condo (before that was a thing) she sold her violets to florists all around Toronto to make an extra income.

My nanny’s name was Madeline and she was such a beauty. She taught my sister and I about beautiful things. We loved going to visit her condo in Toronto from our small town and trying on her high heels and dangly earrings and wigs (it was the 80s).

She loved us with all of her heart, and we loved her right back. Those were special times we spent up high in her condo looking at the Toronto lights, clicking around her condo in high heals.

When she passed away, she left me a small inheritance, and I took the leap and emptied my coin jars, pockets and took 100% of her inheritance and opened this wee little flower shop.

I wished to honour my nanny, her beauty, her generosity and all she taught my sister and I, therefore i named the shop in her honor, and that my friends is how this wee little corner in Guelph became known as Sweet Violets🥰

…And more feels❤️

This November marks the 20th Anniversary of the wee little shop, Sweet Violets. Wait, what? How did that happen? Am I not 32 anymore?

So so much has happened in the past 20 years, and I couldn’t be more grateful for this beautiful business that you have all helped to build.

I have poured my heart and soul into this tiny space and along with the most amazing team of coworkers, we have had a wonderfully successful 20 years. We have evolved into a beautiful little family on this beautiful corner in Guelph.

I am so full of gratitude for the love and support that this community has shown our shop over the years that we wanted to offer something special back.

Starting Tuesday, November 28th EVERYTHING in the store will be 30% off, (excluding fresh product: flowers, plants and fresh seasonal items) until the weekend.

Sweet Violets is full of love and life and we wanted to thank you all for making this possible for us💖

I truly feel so blessed with this
wonderful little business that has become such a massive part of my life. None of this would be possible without the dedicated, talented, extremely hard-working and amazing team of coworkers, who I have had the privilege of considering family for these past 20 years.

Sweet Violet wouldn’t be what it is today without the love and support that you all show us, so we wanted to say thank you so very much for loving us! 💞

Please stop by this week to say hello and enjoy 30% off, we would love to see you.
My heart is full!💗
Love,
Kelli
