Well, this was a pretty wonderful surprise. 💛
**Lepa Jewelry has been nominated in THREE categories in the West Kentucky Star 2027 People’s Choice Awards!**
✨ Locally Owned Retail
✨ Women’s Fashion Boutique
✨ Local Visual Artist
Three nominations that somehow capture three different pieces of what Lepa Jewelry has become: a locally owned business, a boutique, and a design studio where every piece begins with an idea and a pair of hands.
Now we need your help making it to the final ballot.
The nomination round is open through **September 6, and you can nominate once each day.** So if you’re willing to come back and give us another nomination tomorrow (and maybe the next day, and so on 😉), every single one helps us get closer to that final ballot.
If Lepa Jewelry has earned your support, I would be so grateful for your nomination in one, two or all three categories.
I’ll put the direct nomination links in the comments to make it easy.
Thank you, Paducah. Being included among so many wonderful local businesses and artists already means a lot.
Now let’s make the ballot. 💛
