Christmas has always been my favorite time of year. I know
that might surprise some of youâI donât always come across as someone whoâs
reveling in the holiday spirit⌠but believe me, I love this season. Thereâs a
certain magic that only this time of year can bring, and being able to serve
our community through the work we do makes it all the more meaningful to me.
The holidays, as wonderful as they are, can bring a mix of
emotions. They remind us of what we have to be grateful for, and for me, that
list is long. Iâm thankful for my incredible team, whose dedication and talent
never cease to amaze me. Iâm thankful for you, our customers, who trust us with
some of lifeâs most meaningful momentsâbirthdays, weddings, anniversaries, new
babies, and even farewells. Your trust humbles me every day. And, of course,
Iâm thankful for my family and friends, who have been my greatest support
through every twist and turn.
Christmas has always been close to my heart, mostly because
of my grandmother. She adored this season and shared it with us grandkids in a
way that made it unforgettable. Along with my grandfather, she put so much love
and care into making every Christmas special. They both had a way of making us feel
valued, cherished and loved â which was no small feat there are a lot of us! Itâs
something that has always stuck with me and its in that same spirit I approach
what we do at Sunnyside. We do many things, create beautiful arrangements but what I want most is for people to feel welcome, heard, and feel better when they
leave then they may have when they arrived. Thatâs it â its that simple.
This year, our team has worked hard to create something
truly magical, and I couldnât be prouder of what weâve accomplished together.
Sunnyside Florist has a legacy built by its former owner, and Iâve done my best
to honor that legacy while making it my own. What hasnât changed is the heart
of what we offer: a warm welcome, a staff that genuinely cares, and service
that always goes the extra mile.
If you havenât been by yet, Iâd like to personally invite
you to visit. The shop is brimming with the spirit of the seasonâgorgeous fresh
floral arrangements, stunning wreaths, and poinsettias that are as perfect as
they come. Youâll also find unique gifts like air plant Christmas trees and
plenty of holiday treasures. Whether youâre looking to brighten your home or
celebrate someone special, weâd love to help make your holidays a little
brighter.
I donât often write posts like this, but it felt right to
share my heart this season. So, if youâre nearby, please stop in and say hello
and visit with familiar faces and new alike! Of course, we love to show folks
what we have been up to and working on and always have something new in store!
And if you do love what weâre doing, it
would mean a lot â not to mention be very helpful - if you could help spread
the word. Many people still think weâre closed, but weâve been thriving for
over a year now thanks in no small part to our loyal customers like you!
Thank you for being a part of our story and thank you for
letting us be a small part of yours. Iâm
looking forward to seeing you soon.
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year,
