DEAR LOYAL CUSTOMERS, FREINDS AND COLLEAGUES,
It is with as sad yet grateful heart that I write this letter to you to say that as of February 17, 2018, Life's So Sweet Chocolates will be closing its retail doors.
As many of you know, we celebrated our 10 year business anniversary this month which may prompt the question - Why is the business closing?
There is no one direct answer to this question - its a culmination of circumstances, many of which beyond my control, that have lead to this decision. Please know that this decision was not easy and I truly wish that a different solution could have been found.
The Passionate Pairings event is now our way of celebrating ten years of the sweet life - if you haven't purchased a ticket, now is the time to do so - come celebrate with us!
The next question you may ask is - What will happen to Wizarding Weekend?
Wizarding Weekend will continue under my leadership as Festival Director and I, along with its many dedicated volunteers, will be dedicated its continued success.
Beyond answering these questions, I wanted to take a minute to say Thank You. Thank you for all your smiles and stories, for making my labor of love part of your celebrations and gift giving.
Moreover, a special thank you goes to my family for all their love, understanding and support. A special thank you to Jim and Hazel Kaiser and Olympia of the Andrews Confectionery Family - your wisdom and insights have been immeasurably inspirational and helpful through the years.
Thank you to all the various business partners that we have had over the years that have helped to spread the sweetness around the Finger Lakes including but not limited to:
Bool's Flower Shop, Experience the Finger Lakes, Ithacamade, Ithaca Coffee Company, Hazlitt 1852 Vineyards, Hosmer Winery, Ithaca Flower Shop, The Cornell Store and Orchards, Bully Hill Vineyards, Finger Lakes Gift Lounge, French Lavender, Hangar Theatre, Kitchen Theatre, Hilton Garden Inn, Hotel Ithaca, Ithaca Downtown Marriott, How Sweet it Is, La Tourelle Inn, Muranda Cheese, The Piggery, Seneca Shore Winery, Shtayburne Farm, Standing Stone Winery, Sunny Days, Purity Ice Cream, and Starkey's Lookout.
Sweetest Regards,
Darlynne Overbaugh
