A nice surprise

We got a nice little surprise yesterday. It turns out Blend Creations was featured in the yesterday's Ottawa Citizen. We were mentioned in "The Ottawa 100-mile gift guide", under the heading "For the glitterati".

Basically, the gift guide promotes the idea of "local shopping for global change" -- shopping locally as a small way of reducing your carbon footprint on the planet. Now, I realize that most of our customers are not actually local, and we really, really appreciate each and every customer who has purchased from us, and enjoyed our products. It is nice to get some local recognition though :)

So, if you're from Ottawa and found us through the Citizen, "hi!".
If you're not from Ottawa and reading this, why not try "local shopping for global change" in your area -- support your local artists and independant, small businesses. (That being said, I think we'll have to get a "Rim Roller" the next time we're at Lee Valley...).

You can read part of the 100-mile gift guide here. The "For the glitterati" section is here.

(Note: I'm not sure how long the Citizen actually keeps stories active in their online archive).
