We know, we\u2019re a day late, but..<\/span>
\n<\/span> *que the bells and whistles* <\/span>
\n<\/span>The Hub team was launching The 2018 Boutique Awards!! And holy cow, our boutique members rallied their customers. We\u2019ve had 100,000+ votes in less than 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

The timing couldn\u2019t be better this week, then to have on the show the reining 2017 Global Boutique of the Year – The Lace Cactus, and founder Kelsey Darby of Hico, Texas. This episode is near and dear to our hearts. Kelsey Darby started as a 19-year-old single mom, blew up the boutique world, and hit rock bottom. She went from The top of the world to wanting to completely give up, selling nearly everything she had, to back again and winning The 2017 Global Boutique in the same year. <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>She is a woman on a mission, and her authenticity speaks for itself. Get the tissues ready, girl. She is speaking to us all. <\/span><\/p>\n
