Barbara McNaughton, owner of Bluefish Designs on 5th Avenue, recently provided a notice celebrating her time as a shop owner:
“After eight plus years I have decided to close my store, Bluefish Designs, on June 1, 2013. I have thoroughly enjoyed being an integral part of the Edmonds retail community, and I will truly miss the daily interaction, however I am excited for my next chapter.
“To all of you, I would like to give a heartfelt thank you for your support. Over the years I have met many wonderful people and developed great friendships, and I will certainly miss seeing all of you on a regular basis. As most of you know, making jewelry is a passion of mine and I plan on offering it online in the future. I will send out an email with that web address when the time comes.
“Again, thank you so much for your friendships and support of Bluefish Designs. Anni the shop dog and I will be seeing you around town!”
Thank you, Barbara, for being a fantastic Edmonds shop owner. We look forward to your ongoing success.
Your shop will be missed!
Thank You, Barb! I will cherish all of the pieces you have made for me!
I for one will miss you and your unique items that you always have and always make wonderful gifts. Good luck to you in your new adventure and if that means relaxing more, so be it!!
Your shop will be greatly missed. Best of luck on your new adventure and enjoy some well deserved time off.
Hi Barb!! What a great picture and another really outstanding letter. I am so impressed with you, my dear!!!!
Boy, you really deserve some time off and we are both glad to see you taking this BIG step~~~
Love you,

Barb, I’m sorry you’re deciding to close the shop. Your ‘neighbor’ will miss you and I think Annie will miss your ‘neighbor’ also. You’re a wonderful person. Take Care.
