I’m so incredibly grateful to be nominated as one of the Top 3 in Customer Service in Gig Harbor for the second year in a row. 🤍

Of all the ways CURATED could be recognized, this one feels especially personal because I truly pour my heart into making every person who walks through our door feel seen, welcomed, and cared for whether you’re shopping or simply stopping in to say hello.

There’s a lot of love behind this little corner of Gig Harbor, and customer service is at the center of it all.

🗳️ Voting is October 2–19, and you can vote every day! Link in bio

If I’ve ever helped you find a gift that feels just right. Introduced you to a wine from a small vineyard. Offered an idea when you’re simply not sure what you’re looking for. Or simply made you feel seen, I would be so grateful for your vote.

Thank you for supporting me and my little labor of love. It truly means the world. 🤍 taken in Curated Gig Harbor by @curated_ballard

As many of you may know, one year ago my lovely momma and I expanded @curatedgigharbor into the beautiful Ballard neighborhood. When I first moved to Seattle four whole years ago (wow, I know), Ballard was where I moved. I lived above the QFC and walked to work every single day. I loved it, it was the catalyst for me falling in love with Seattle. I always craved that sense of community, where the barista at the coffee shop knows your order and your name, you pass friends on the street and they stop to say hello. Since moving here I’ve bounced around jobs, staying within the retail world, until November when I officially took over Curated Ballard full time. What started as an idea for curated gifting, soon began to evolve. At the same time our store began to shift, and we began to understand our audience a little better, I fell head over heels in love with the wine world. It marries things that I have always been drawn to in a beautifully cohesive way - community, art, history, food, travel, and nature. I can attribute this love to a lot of different things, but the biggest thing is the people in my life who encouraged, taught and guided me - from friends and family, to my wine reps and winemakers, to fellow wine lovers and people in the industry.

So, here we are. 1 whole year later, celebrating everything we have accomplished in the last 365 days. Though it has been difficult at times ( a roller coaster to say the least) I have never been happier and prouder of what I do. I wake up every day excited to start work, see my favorite regulars, meet new people, try new product and explore!!!!! As we celebrate this achievement, we have worked very hard to assemble a celebration that feels authentic, celebratory and community driven. All of this to say, please join us this coming Saturday, August 29th, for a day filled with amazing wine, amazing music (we finally got a record player and some awesome records from @sonicboomrecords ), amazing people, amazing snacks, AND @ramcellars pouring with us. The celebration will be from 2-9pm, with Vivianne here from 5-8.
