The Cotillion was well represented with nominations for <a href="http://www.sweetstelladesigns.com/">Sweet Stella Designs</a>, <a href="http://stinkybombsoap.com/">Stinkybomb Soap</a>, and <a href="http://www.poshtadesign.com">Poshta Design </a>in the Best Brand without a Storefront category, <a href="http://www.whollycraft.com/">Wholly Craft</a> in the Best Gift Shop and Best Place for Accessories categories, and <a href="http://rivetart.com/rivet.jsp">Rivet</a> in the Best Art Gallery category. We're proud of our ladies for their hard work and recognition!<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://bit.ly/wGMYtS">Best of Columbus voting</a> continues until March 1st at Noon, so you have plenty of time to cast your votes. And remember, you can also use the write-in option to show your support for the folks you believe deserve a little recognition.

This has been a great week in the press for the Crafty Cotillion!<br /><br />It's refreshing to see that publications such as the Dispatch take note of the independent stuff happening around our city and really see the value in it.
