Aaah...the possibilities!

As you've seen in one of our recent blog entries, we have a new addition to our studio - a brand-new commercial embroidery machine.  Like every proud 'parent', we must share a picture.  So here she is, meet Harleigh.  (Pronounced Har-lee) Harleigh
For those of you whose interest is piqued by her unusual name, please check out our blog for the explanation!

This addition is very exciting as it opens up so many possibilities for us...and for you.  We are thrilled about the ability to expand on our custom orders.

We recently placed an order for soft, cuddly throws that can be customized for any event (wedding, retirement, etc.) or personalized just to show that special person that you care.

We are also working on custom-framed monogrammed initials.  These make another great wedding gift or a special touch for a young or preteen girl's bedroom. 

Other customized ideas include:

  • Baby items - a perfect gift from Grandma!

  • Monogrammed towels - to capture the recipient's decor colors.

  • Kitchen aprons - a great gift for the avid baker or chef!

  • Table linens - placemats, napkins, runners and bun warmers to accent your table (see our entertaining ideas below).

  • Handbag or tote - who doesn't need a special bag to tote around their papers, books or whatever runs their life?

Do you have another idea?  Simply contact us and we'll be happy to discuss your project with you.

A Very Diva Christmas!

Accessory Shoppe is participating in another exciting local holiday event - the St. Boniface "A Very Diva Christmas" shopping night.

We hope our local followers can stop by and visit with us.  There is FREE babysitting while you shop.

It's another great chance for a Girl's Night Out to shop and support our local businesses while taking care of some of those special people in your lives.

Closeouts

Be sure to visit our Closeout page for drastically marked down items! 

Take advantage of our need to clear out some merchandise to make room for the new Thanksgiving and Christmas items.  There are plenty of bargains available and we add new items often...so check back frequently!

Entertaining Ideas

With the holiday rapidly approaching, many of us will find family and friends gathered around our dining table.  It's a time that our families look forward to as we share stories and visit while we partake of very tasty meals and sweet treats!

Personalized Napkin 'Place Card' One of our favorite table dressings is linen napkins embroidered with our guest's name.  Lay it across the dinner plate and you have an elegant and functional 'place card' for your guest.  Once laundered, tuck them in your drawer and they're ready for the next visit from your special guests.  It's a personal touch that is a big hit!

Pilgrim Placemat Of course, we realize that you may want table linens that you can use no matter which guests you entertain.  In that case, here are a few pictures of some of our other holiday table accents. Burgandy Holiday Napkin

Happy Thanksgiving!
