inside this grand showroom, you will find nothing less than the finest quality furnishings, magnificent dĂŠcor and down to earth service. Owner Julie Ludtke is a native of Montana and has called Helena home for forty years. Prior to starting Boxwoods eight years ago, Julie was a well-known design consultant here in town and her experience in the industry has certainly paid off. When you walk through the store, you find that there is so much more than just furnishings. Beyond the hand carved armoires and the magnificent upholstery, you see that there are also hostess gifts, candles, diffusers, unique picture frames, botanicals, throws, decorative pillows, lamps, glassware, rugs and even robes! The most unique thing about Boxwoods is the staff. Brittany is the manager and

why be local? As small business owners, we understand how hard it is to stand out in a crowd. This publication was created with the idea that there is power in numbers. If we work together as small, local businesses, we can all afford a high-quality, alternative advertising option that is both created and distributed by local businesses. Be Local/Shop Local is all about promoting and supporting locally-owned, independent businesses. It’s about making your hard-earned money go further, fueling the local economy, and helping to preserve the unique character of our community. Make a difference. Shop local.
