It was June 2009, in the midst of a once-in-a-lifetime economic downturn that Susan Henry and her daughter Cortney Hood found themselves out of the design business and looking for “new careers fast.” With storage trailers full of furniture and Susan’s husband Tommy having empty units in his Miramar Plaza shopping center, the mother and daughter duo decided to take the leap and open Ava’s Attic Consignment boutique. If you’ve been around a while, you know the rest of the story! Susan and Courtney quickly established themselves as a premier Consignment Boutique, combining impeccable design elements in a Consignment atmosphere. On June 22nd Ava’s will be commemorating their 10th year in business with an Open House celebration from 4-7 p.m. with food and beverages provided by the local Thai Onion beginning at 5 p.m. and live music from 5 -7 p.m. In addition, there will be a number of door prizes and a chance to win a $100 gift basket provided by local chocolatier Pecan Jack’s. “Our customers are what made Ava’s what it is today,” said Susan. “This is our small way of saying thanks to our friends and loyal customers we have been so blessed to have gotten to know.” All day, Saturday June 22nd, customers will enjoy 10% off all purchases.
In collaboration with Ava’s, South Walton Life and Destin Life newspapers will be co-hosting and co-sponsoring the food and music. South Walton Life is celebrating its 3rd year anniversary and Destin Life is coming up on its one-year anniversary. Many of the newspapers’ regular columnists will be making special appearances throughout the day.
