"Last month was an awesome event," said Williams. "It's all about women business owners helping other women-owned businesses.

The collaboration between The Little Shoppes of Winthrop began Feb. 19 with a fashion show at the Winthrop Barn Theatre.

"That opened the flood gates," said Williams. The event was so successful that the businesses decided to follow up with the first Ladies Night Out March 5.

That event featured a variety of women vendors including Swarovski and Murano glass jewelry, Scentsy candles, Arbonne International and  handmade cards and gift bags. "This event supports so many women businesses in the area," Williams said. "Everybody had such a great time, they didn't want to leave."
