It is with immense gratitude and love that we say goodbye to our beloved shop, Jarita's Florist.
As your neighborhood florist for nearly fifty years, it has been our incredible privilege to bring beauty to countless weddings, proms, funerals, holidays and daily affirmations of love. It has been the honor of a lifetime to share in these precious moments and milestones.
We opened our shop doors in the heart of Woodstock, NY on July 7, 1977. The years that followed were filled with an enthusiasm and dedication to celebrating life through flowers. We enter this next chapter with pride and fulfillment.
The outpouring of love we have received, since announcing the closure, has been overwhelming and deeply felt.
To our community and customers: thank you for your loyal support and enduring appreciation. We will keep you in our hearts always.
To our staff past and present: We could have never done it without you. Your talent and hard work was unmatched. You made the long hours, inclement weather, big events, and day-to-day effort both possible and joyous.
We want to extend a special thank you to our current team. Sarah, words cannot fully express our gratitude. You have been our rock for more than two decades, bringing light and warmth to everything and everyone along the way. Sharon, you are an absolute joy to work alongside and your gorgeous floral designs have brought happiness to so many people’s lives. Caitlin, it has been amazing to see your creativity shine and we can’t wait to see where it takes you. Angelina, we are grateful for the determination and enthusiasm you bring to Jarita's.
Jarita's has been the backbone to our lives for so many years, as we raised our children, watched our grandchildren grow, and formed lifelong friendships.
As we close our shop doors, we look ahead to a bright future and back on a beautiful past.
Love,
Jay and Rita
