Clutter My World: Clutter My World...with an Award!

======Hi everyone! Well, the Clutter gals had quite a nice day today! I received a phone call/phone message last week from Downtown Boulder asking me to attend the Annual Awards Banquet because Clutter was receiving an award. Actually, Diana listened to the message and excitedly told me that we were getting an award and that I needed to call Downtown Boulder, Inc. right away! If you have had the pleasure to meet Diana, you would know that sometimes she pulls your leg, so of course, I thought that she was doing just that! How, after only 5 months in business, could we be getting an award?! Soooo, I listened to the message, called DBI (www.boulderdowntown.com), and sure enough, we were receiving the "Rising Star" award! I am quite proud because they only give out 6 awards and we are thrilled that we received one of them!

Opening a business is quite a journey...first you have the stress of finding the right location, then the stress of negotiating a lease. Then you have the stress of figuring out a name, spending what little money you have to purchase store fixtures, computers, awnings, advertising, and supplies...then you have the stress of getting the inventory and of hiring employees! Boy, did I luck out in that area...I have the most amazing people in the world working at Clutter and the Rising Star award is a testament to their dedication to making this store work on the stretch of 9th Street that so sorely needed a vibrant, successful store. I know that it's only been 5+ months, but the energy is so good, our consignors and customers are so wonderful, that I have to believe that Clutter will be a success for years to come.

There's one more thing....it takes a village to have a successful business and a vibrant community. Many of my customers are the owners of local stores/restaurants....Sherpa's, Chelsea, Savory Spice Shop...to name a few. Speaking of Savory Spice Shop...Dan Hayward ( the owner) also received an award today: Business of the Year! Kudos to Dan and his wonderful store..check it out, it's on Broadway, just south of Spruce. www.savoryspiceshop.com
