A Heartfelt Christmas Message of Gratitude and Reflection

As the year draws to a close, Christmas is a time for reflection, gratitude, and love. It’s a season where we pause amidst the busy moments of life to appreciate the blessings we’ve received and to acknowledge the lessons we’ve learned, even in challenging times.

This year, I find myself deeply grateful for so many things. To my incredible designers who have worked tirelessly, your dedication, creativity, and unwavering support have been a beacon of inspiration. You’ve poured your hearts into creating beautiful collections, providing exceptional service, and supporting not only me but the buyers who depend on us for fresh, exciting designs. Thank you for making this journey so fulfilling.

To my wonderful buyers, your trust in my knowledge and experience humbles me. Together, we’ve worked to bring new collections to life, to curate styles that inspire and delight, and to ensure boutiques across Western Canada and the Northwest USA shine with unique, high-quality fashion. Your faith in me motivates me every single day.

I am also deeply grateful for the love and support of my family, friends, and chosen family. Their encouragement and presence have been my anchor, reminding me of the strength found in connection and the beauty of shared moments.

This year, I cherish the memories of two dear friends who have passed: Tony Caravetta, a fellow agent, and Barry Flynn, a valued buyer and a friend. Their wisdom, laughter, and camaraderie have left an indelible mark on my heart. Though they are no longer with us, the knowledge they shared and the moments we spent together will always be treasures I hold close.

I also want to send special love and prayers to sweet little Rosy, the six-year-old granddaughter of a dear customer and friend,Pat, who is courageously undergoing chemotherapy. Her resilience and spirit are a reminder of hope and strength, even in the hardest of battles. May the good Lord continue to bless and comfort her and her family in the year ahead.

As we celebrate this season, let us embrace the good that has come into our lives and find gratitude for the lessons learned from hardships. Let us cherish the memories we’ve made with those we love and hold onto the hope that brighter days are always ahead.

May your Christmas be filled with warmth, joy, and peace, and may 2025 bring blessings in abundance. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of my journey.

With love and gratitude,

Cheri Grimwood
