Dear Baker City friends,
This is a post we never imagined having to write, and it comes with a very full and tender heart.
Over the last almost five years, Baker Floral & Botanicals has been so much more to us than a business. It has been a place to meet you, celebrate with you, grieve with you, laugh with you, and create beauty for the moments that matter most. You welcomed us into this community and into your lives, and we will forever be grateful for that gift.
As time marches on, our lives have grown in the sweetest ways. We now have two darling grandbabies and more family in Boise, and it has become increasingly difficult to be as present with them as our hearts want us to be while living and working here in Baker City.
We have found ourselves torn between two great loves: this shop and community we cherish so deeply, and our family who needs more of our time just down the road. After many tears, long talks, and soul searching, we have made one of the hardest decisions of our lives. In the coming months, we will be putting our beloved business up for sale.
Our greatest hope is to find another florist who will wow your socks off, care for you well, and fill this sweet downtown space with just the right gifts and flowers for every occasion. Baker City deserves this, and we are committed to finding the right person to carry that torch forward.
We feel incredibly blessed for every bouquet ordered, every workshop attended, every kind word spoken, and every friendship formed. Thank you for trusting us with your weddings, your holidays, your condolences, your celebrations, and your everyday “just because” moments.
This isn’t goodbye just yet. We will still be here serving you while we look for the right next chapter for the business. But we wanted to share this news with the honesty and gratitude you deserve.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Baker City, for letting us be a small part of your stories. It has truly been one of the greatest honors of our lives.
~Shelley & Mollie.
