We're just slipping in under the wire this month - February is almost over!

It's been a very busy month for the Accessory Shoppe Gals from both a business and personal perspective.  We've spent the month working on special orders and enjoying the opportunity to create special items for our customers.  We also all three managed to get away for a short vacation.  Michelle and her family spent a week at Disney World in early February.  Betty and Shirley visited Tulsa in mid-February to spend time with family and scour the shops of Tulsa for creative inspiration to bring back to Accessory Shoppe and our customers.

 Fun February Favorites

Shirley wanted to share a couple of her favorite items with you this month.

Although grocery shopping or running errands can be quite the chores, she has stitched a fun bag to help lighten the burden - all while 'going green'.

Shirley was our birthday gal this month.  Her niece created an apron for her and she wanted to share it with you.  It was a 'limited edition' creation made just for her - but it certainly gives you an idea of the neat things we can make for you and those special people in your life.  Simply drop us an email with your request.

Our Feature Items

Since we are now on the flip-side of Valentine's Day, our feature items focus on St. Patrick's Day - the day we all have fun being Irish (even if we don't have a bit of Irish ancestry in our family!).

Betty has been busy stitching beautiful finger tip towels with a variety of Irish-themed designs.  Please take a minute to visit our St. Patrick's Day page and browse all of her creations.

These little treasures make great gifts for your Irish friends and family and also a perfect hostess gift for any St. Paddy's parties you may attend.  Don't forget to pick up one or two for yourself too!

Here's a look at just some of her treasures:

Any of the designs shown above can be stitched on fingertip towels, hand towels, kitchen towels or aprons.  Simply contact Betty with your request.

What's Next?

Easter arrives on April 4th this year - the first Sunday of the month.  As a result, we are already busy working on Easter items.  They will be featured in next month's newsletter.  Some items have already made their way onto the website.  You can catch a peek by visiting our Easter page.  As you plan your Easter dinner with family and friends, think about how Accessory Shoppe can help you create some fantastic linens for your dinner table and your home.  If you have something unique in mind, please contact us and we'll see what we can create for you!

We are still working on our new blog platform and our soap web pages.  With our recent travels and our special orders, we haven't been able to dedicate as much time as we had hoped to these two activities this month.  We'll keep moving along and we hope to introduce one or both of them real soon!

Until next issue, may the luck of the Irish and the blessings of health, family and friends be with you...
