Thank You

Last night we enjoyed a special treat. We are honored to be chosen as one of ten winners of the 2006 Mayor's Small Business Awards here in Seattle. All of the honorees attended a swank party at Town Hall, were given a lovely crystal trophy (see above), and schmoozed with Mayor Nickels and various business owners at a reception. For me, the highlight of the evening was watching the short videos about each business. I was truly inspired by the passion and drive displayed by each owner.

Thank you to the City of Seattle for recognizing the hard work and perseverance that it takes to start and run a small business. Thanks to the judges who chose Laura Bee Designs from a terrific pool of nominees, and to our customer Jill who nominated us. And thanks to you, dear customers, for shopping at our store, telling your friends about us, and for supporting our work! I feel so blessed to be among such creative stars - customers, employees, and vendors!
