Owners
We are beyond honored and deeply grateful to have been voted Best Boutique, Best Gift Shop, Best Clothing Store, and Best Customer Service. These recognitions mean the world to us— not just as business owners, but as members of this incredible community. From the very beginning, our mission has been about more than just offering beautiful products; it’s been about creating a space where everyone feels welcome, appreciated, and at home. These awards are a re ection of the relationships we’ve built, and we thank each of you for believing in us, shopping with us, and cheering us on every step of the way.
This past year, like many before it, came with its share of challenges, through all the challenges we continued to lean on our faith in this community—and you showed up. The continued support of our loyal customers, friends, and the extended OBD Family has been nothing short of amazing. Your words of encouragement, your visits—whether to shop or simply check in—and your unwavering loyalty reminded us of the strength that exists when people rally behind local dreams. We continue to make it through each challenge because of each of you.
Shopping local is powerful. Every time you choose to support a small business like ours, you’re investing directly in your neighbors and your neighborhood. You’re helping us create jobs, provide personalized service, and keep the heart of our community thriving. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of this journey and for continuing to believe in the importance of supporting local.
