Friends! Neighbors! Community!

Hi! It's Nina Towne. Many of you know me from my business, Proud Flower in Waterbury.

I have some news! I'm starting a new business!

It's called Favorite Daughter. I'm a companion to elders.

I will continue to own and run Proud Flower! I might decide to staff Tuesdays, or I might change my weekly schedule. I will keep you posted on my hours at Proud Flower.

I opened Proud Flower on June 13, 2009! 15 years ago!!! During that 15 years I have been no stranger to reinvention. I have changed up my business so many times. Thanks to all of you for sticking by me as a customer and friend…so many friends!

I am so very excited to begin this next adventure! I must credit my beautiful friend Vera Resnik, who said, after I told her about my "future" idea, "What are you waiting for Nina, you must just begin!"
