Grace Bonney, the woman behind the massively successful blog Design*Sponge emailed me to tell me about a great event she's hosting in Seattle on Feb 28th at Design Within Reach.
Grace runs a national series of meet-ups designed to connect women running their own design-based businesses. Her series aims to provide womens with free advice on public relations, marketing, legal and business issues, wholesaling advice and tips on the day-to-day aspects of running their own businesses.
At the Seattle event this month, she will showcase local experts John Tusher of Velocity Art & Design and Fumi Watanabe of Alkemie Design as well as a local business and legal adviser who will speak about those aspects of running your own company. Grace will speak about PR and marketing.
If you're in Seattle and you've even *thought* about breaking out on your own, this sounds like a great event to attend and rub elbows with other like minded design-y and entrepreneurial sorts. Your pal Decorno will most definitely be there.
Here are the deets:

This will be a great evening, I'm really looking forward to it. See you there!
Coco - you should come! And didn't I read on your blog that you are pals with Kelley L Moore? Bring her! I would love to meet both of you. We might need to organize a coctail event right after for all the bloggerheads...
Kelie - glad you're coming, too. I sent a link to Grace about you and your store. You're a perfect person for people to connect with at this event since you have had such a successful start with your store.
