To our clients, friends and family,
As a preface for the following statement, we would like to thank you in advance for your continued support, understanding and grace at this time as we take the first excited steps in our newest adventure.
As many have experienced over the past few months, our availability has been limited and our doors open one moment, yet closed the next. These absences have been due to my ill health and I want to take the time to thank all those who have surrounded me with love, support and grace during a really difficult time.
However, it now feels like we might finally be on the other side of things and we are looking at life a little differently.
At this time, Crown Heritage Flowers is no longer your average flower shop.
Providing βby the stemβ offerings is by far the smallest segment of our business model and having standard hours does not facilitate our passions with weddings, events and other floral-based endeavors or give us time to invest in the sides of our business that better suits our talents, as well as our ever-evolving dreams.
The greatness that is in store for Crown Heritage and the heights we are capable of reaching are confined by these four walls!
Please consider this notice that I am now a florist for hire and that my time, talents, florals and other products will be on offer β first come, first served. I will be continuing to work out of the studio at this time and would still love to see your faces, but to best ensure your access to me, I highly recommend giving us a call at 828-526-8671 to see what the latest update is! Timeslot bookings and ordering in advance is the only surefire way to ensure your floral needs are met at this time. Same day orders and walk-in purchases of ready-made arrangements will be available when the lights are on and the sign is up.
Every item in our storefront is on sale for the best offer, minus several operationally necessary items until our last booked event is complete.
Our 2023 event roster is robust and I am looking forward to every single wedding, party and showcase we are so honored to be a part of. We will continue to provide wedding and event services as reserved.
To those with questions on the future of the shop, we want to continue to support the beauty in and of Highlands as much as possible. As our community, you all have been the lifeforce of Crown Heritage and there can never be enough words to say how much we love you. We would love to help someone get their shot at the American Dream and support them in every way necessary as the new steward of the best flower shop in town!
If there are any entrepreneurs looking for a 6-figure turnkey floral business, we would like to offer the shop at $30,000 or best offer, owner-financed. We have contracts with several area businesses, including restaurants, hotels and golf courses, and are the recommended vendor for some of the most popular area wedding venues booking years out. We will provide you everything you need to get started next day minus the computer hardware, as well as training, consultation and contractor services if requested.
My only goal is to make sure local Highlanders and those who have joined in our fellowship are taken care of, because it has been an honor and a blessing to know and serve this community for the last 6 years.
I have put this off until the last possible moment because there is great sorrow and vulnerability in this time of change. However, I am choosing to be joyful and to have hope and to be as strong as I have been thus far. I built a business that brings me great pride and satisfaction. I survived 2020 and 2021 at the helm of this ship and we have thrived every quarter. I grew a human! Together with my husband and our families, we have built a beautiful life full of color.
Be present in and be thankful for every moment. Life is unexpected and far too short, tomorrow is not promised to any of us. Do the things that fulfill you, because those are the gifts that sustain you and above all else, trust your gut.
Plant trees, save the bees and take a moment to stop and smell the flowers!
We will be ceasing operations October 31st, 2023.
Joyfully and Ephemerally Yours,
Danielle Hartsfield Chambers
