Big News for 2009!

A little change in our name...
but a HUGE step for us!!!

Three little initials but boy do they mean a lot...LLC!  We recently pursued this business venture and are happy to report that we are now formally a limited liability company (LLC).

Look for our new designation -
Accessory Shoppe, LLC
 - in future correspondence shortly.

Trade Show Treasures

WOW...what a weekend!  We had a great time at the Atlanta Trade Show in early January.  There was SO much to see - we shopped for three days straight!!!

Betty hunted down several new items for her linens and many new accents to create unique gift packages.  Look for beaded coasters, napkin rings and tea light holders to appear on the website with coordinating embroidered linens.

Shirley searched out the hot style trends for 2009.  She was thrilled to find that her favorite - animal prints - are still big for the new year!  Bold, bright colors are all the rage, too - HOT PINK, LIME GREEN, RED and ORANGE.  She's now busy in her studio creating all kinds of new tote and bag designs and she warns -
"It's going to be a bright and sassy spring and summer!!!"

Still in the Works...

Our product line just keeps growing!

In the very near future we will be introducing our handcrafted glycerin soap products.

More details to come in the next issue of our newsletter!

Remember... "It's All About You"

We proudly offer customization on most of our products and really enjoy creating unique items for you or the special people in your lives.  Allow us to monogram an item for you - we have many fonts available - or incorporate a special interest or theme into your selection.

It seems your gift means even more when you personalize it for your recipient.  Simply contact us at contact@accessoryshoppe.biz and we'll be happy to help you add that "WOW factor" to your gifts.

A recent custom favorite is our pet lover's tote/bag.  We stitch a design of a dog breed and personalize it with your pet's name.  How fun!
