Dear Friends and Valued Clients,

As we wrap up our gratitude series, we find ourselves at the most bittersweet note of all—our final goodbye. After much reflection, we’ve decided to close our small business. This decision doesn’t stem from a lack of support; in fact, it’s quite the opposite. Your encouragement, loyalty, and kindness have lifted us higher than we ever imagined and carried us through every season.
The truth is that life is leading each of us into new chapters—ones filled with personal growth, family focus, and yes… even a return to school. These changes are exciting, hopeful, and deeply personal, and they’ve inspired us to make space for what’s ahead.

We want to thank each and every one of you for being such an important part of our journey. Thank you for supporting our vision, cheering for our success, sharing your love for our work, and choosing us time and time again. We have been honored to serve you, to celebrate moments with you, and to be welcomed into your lives and homes.
While this door is closing, it may not be the last you hear from us. With the paths we’re taking—and the new skills we’ll be gaining—a future business just might bloom when the time is right. Consider this a “see you later,” not a permanent farewell.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
For everything.
For all of it.

With gratitude and warmest wishes for your future,
The Flower Cafe team -
Alyssa, Brooke, and Kelli

✨ Last but definitely not least — we’re thankful for our little community. ✨
As we wrap up our gratitude series, we want to take a moment to appreciate the people who have been at the center of everything: our small, close-knit circle of friends.
The past five years have brought their share of trials, changes, and challenges — but through all of it, we always had each other to lean on. This little community has been a constant source of support, encouragement, honesty, and laughter.
We truly couldn’t have made it through the highs and lows without this group by our side. We’re stronger, closer, and better because of what we’ve weathered together.
Thank you for being our people.
Here’s to our tiny but mighty community — and to the next chapter, whatever it brings. 💛

P.S. we got permanent bracelets at . She was absolutely amazing with all of us, including the kids! We would highly recommend her!

🍁 Month of Gratitude 🍁

This season, we’re feeling extra grateful — not just for the wins, but for the lessons that came with the challenges.
Running a business with friends isn’t always easy — it takes patience, trust, and a whole lot of communication. But every late-night brainstorm, every hard decision, and every shared success has made this journey so worth it.
We’re thankful for how far we’ve come together, for the laughter that carried us through the tough days, and for the shared belief that growth happens when we don’t give up.
Here’s to celebrating the ups and downs, and to everyone out there building something meaningful with people they care about. 🤍

🥂Here’s to the people behind the scenes🥂
If “making things happen” were a person — it would be Kelli 🙌
