Penny Wolla, a long time standing certified Woman-Owned Business has just renewed for her 4th year! Owner of Blush Boutique in Downtown Valley City, known as the woman who \u201cshook the rug\u201d downtown Valley City as she was able to bring her dream to a reality after a full remodel creating her dream space!<\/p>\n
It all started with her and her sisters side hustle called Project Paper Co. They started online creating greeting cards with fun sayings and bringing inspiration to others! They started what they called Project 15 where every week out of the blue you would write a letter to someone and journal about it! It couldn\u2019t be for a birthday or anniversary it truly was to spread kindness and inspiration through the mail letting them know you were thinking of them! She still sells cards in her boutique but has expanded to a gorgeous store front offering affordable trendy clothing, accessories, and her claim to fame and exclusive Lake Ashtabula swag! Penny shared that she certifies every year for the benefits and connections of the state certification! Penny enjoys coming to work every day and shares that it\u2019s a powerful title to be a Woman Business Owner and we couldn\u2019t agree more! Congrats Penny to 4 years and many more!<\/p>\n
The statement went on to say, Meeting with these two women was absolutely refreshing as they advocate and inspire each other but also other women business owners in their community!
