Our Ashley has been called up to the big leagues of domestic manufacturing. Next month she's off to work at Boeing, after more than six and a half years at Laura Bee Designs. Instead of ordering zippers and faux leather, she'll be purchasing airplane parts.
We're lucky to have her humor and expertise with us for a few more weeks; her last day is February 10th. Stay tuned for information on Farewell Ashley open house we'll host early next month.
Those of you who know our shop know what a key player Ashley has been in the evolution of the company since she started here in 2004. Not only is she a production and customer service rock star, but she also worked behind the scenes on systems, design, procurement, invoicing, and myriad other tasks that have helped us grow and improve.
The thing I will miss the most, however, is talking with and seeing Ashley every day. Whether analyzing Project Runway or sharing funny stories about random retail interactions, her constant presence has enriched my life immeasurably.
I know there are many Ashley fans out there who will miss her too. Please stop by the shop to congratulate her on the next phase of her life. Boeing is lucky to get her!

Ashley: Thanks for adding your expertise and good cheer to help Laura create her dream: her own shop with upbeat employees and happy customers. It is quite amusing that I, Laura's mother, often identified your voice incorrectly as Laura's. How many times did I say, "This is Mommy Bee," to you? Best of luck. At such a young age, you certainly made your mark. Sincerely, Laura's MOM
I wish you all the luck in the world!!! You will be very missed! Kamm
