Garnish, my newest favorite shopping (and idea) website, mentioned me in their idea blog. I tagged them in my post below, but I have more to say about them. Their customer service couldn't be better. I emailed a question about a party favor idea I had, and Suzanne not only wrote back the nicest letter full of ideas, but attached a picture of my idea. She went to the trouble to make one to show me! How many companies do that for their customers?
Garnish is all about presentation. I love a good presentation. I like shopping at the stores in my little hometown because they wrap things up nice and pretty, with tissue paper and lots of ribbon. I can buy a 50 cent shell at The Vintage Flea for {p} and they still take the time to make the bag look pretty. My friend Betsy (hello, Betsy! Time to get a blog.. or a website!) at Paper Appointments does the same thing... cute little bags tied up with cute little ribbon. It feels good knowing that someone takes the time to make something look nice, just for you. And that is what Garnish is all about. Taking something, and giving it a little piece of you before you give it to someone else.
This comes from straight from their website, and sums it up perfectly:
"Garnish is much more than a product, it is the emotion that surrounds what you create with our products. It is running through the grass barefoot or using your good china every day "just because."
Go ahead and check out their site. They aren't paying me or giving me a discount to write any of this. I'm writing it because I believe in sharing when a company goes above and beyond for customer service. And, because I like sharing good ideas and they have a million (well, almost!)of them to share with you.

Well I like people who care about PEOPLE.
I will check them out. THANKS [j}
Wow...I'm blushing! Like I always say, it doesn't seem like work when you're having so much fun. I had a great time taking your ideas and running with them. I love to hear what all our customers conjure up...they're all so creative (even if they didn't think it!). I often find myself saying 'that's so fun!', like I did with you.
Thank you for the kind words! Have fun at your son's birthday and we wish him a happy day. Enjoy the moment you created!
Happy Garnishes!

Aren't you creative! I checked out their site...neat stuff. I need to check out The Vintage Flea next time I am over that way. I've heard about it, but never been.
I've checked out there site and they are in my actual neck of the woods (central ma), really cool and creative!
