Suzie Couraud was sitting in her shop when she received probably one of the most surreal surprises of her life.
“I’d just gotten back from a couple weeks in London and was experiencing jet lag,” Couraud said. “I was sitting in the shop and in came this group of people carrying a bunch of balloons. It was kind of like Publishers Clearing House.”
When Pomegranate owner Suzie Couraud was asked to decorate the Oregon Garden Resort lobby, she pounced on the opportunity to bring wider exposure to her business.
With the economy chugging along, Suzie Couraud, owner of Silverton’s downtown boutique Pomegranate, said the biggest difference she notices in her customers is they are not spending as readily as they once did.
When Suzie and John Wayland of Pomegranate heard about the work of Mike and Lori Salley of Albany through their nonprofit agency, Show Mercy International, they were inspired to do something to help.
