Hello friends,

It’s that time of year! Summer, yes… but also… The Georgia Straight’s 2010 Best of Vancouver Poll is here once again. And guess what? With your help, Pebble can be ranked tops in the Best Toy Store and Best Baby/Toddler Store categories.

Voting is easy:

1) Go to www.straight.com/bov and sign up.

2) Write ‘Pebble’ in the Best Toy Store and Best Baby/Toddler Store categories. (Best Toy Store is under the ‘Living’ Section; Best Baby/Toddler Store is under the ‘Style Section’.)

Of course, if you don’t think we belong in the Top 3, please let us know what you think we could do to improve! If you vote in a minimum of 25 categories, you will be entered in a draw for a $3000 travel voucher for a dream vacation!

But hurry, because your window of opportunity is almost as short as a Vancouver summer… Voting ends July 29 at 5pm.

Favourite local blog Kitsilano.ca has posted another of their regular ‘most followed Kits businesses on Twitter‘ listings, with Pebble steadfastly holding on to the #4 spot for retail businesses. That’s if you actually count Lulu Lemon, who tops the list, as a Kitsilano business. Which we don’t. Their head office is in East Van, they have stores all over the world and it’s not like the Kits LlL store is their flagship or anything.



So that actually makes us the #3 most-followed Kitsilano-based retail business on Twitter. Hooray! Bring on the bronze! This must be how the fourth place athlete feels when the gold medal winner gets disqualified for banned substances. Or bribing the judges. Or… never mind.

With all the horrendous stories in the news every day, I ‘m very thankful that at least once in a while you get a happy ending.
