Susan Huenefeld of Accents et cetera Gift Baskets www.accentsetc.com was honored with the Women Business Owners Excellence Award. The awards were announced at a gala awards banquet on Thursday, October 14, 2010 at the Fairmont Olympic Hotel. Huenefeld bought Accents et cetera, a ten-year-old gift basket business and retail store two weeks before September 11, and was abruptly thrown into a host of challenges. With the help of friends, she put together a part-time staff and weathered her first holiday season with the best results the business had ever seen. Now she revels in the synergy of ideas bouncing around her staff, in the challenge of coming up with new ideas every holiday - and in the joy on the faces of the recipients of her gift baskets, which she loves to deliver in person. It constantly amazes her that the gifts she makes can have such an effect. "Huenefeld impressed us with her trajectory from stay-at-home mom and philanthropist to business owner in a short period of time," said Debbie Levitron, president of WBO and Nellie judge. "She is committed to the community and both she and the company donates a significant amount of money, time, gift baskets, and food to local charities."
