Netty tries to get onto my laptop

As some of you may know, I found a fast friend in Netty last year, my Belua Designs companion. I haven’t been as vigilant about capturing photos for the “Netty Series” over the past few months, but I almost feel there isn’t a need to do so with Sarah Bourque’s great blog to refer to.

Fremly, the unabashed star of her blog, has an uncanny ability to make me smile. I look forward to seeing what Fremly is up to every week (photos of him poking around Sarah’s garden were too cute), but more than that, I love that Sarah also uses her blog to showcase the work of other local designers (such as Sarah Jackson’s Jam). While it isn’t uncommon for small businesses to cross-promote, I think Belua is an exemplar in undertaking it on such a regular basis.

Mack sent Sarah a questionnaire asking her some questions about how she is using her blog to promote her products and generate an online profile for her business. I can only hope more local businesses (including restaurants and retail shops) start effectively using these online tools to connect, engage and interact with the public. Keep up the great work, Sarah!
