Check out these new fabric necklaces which just arrived! They are perfect for the scarf jewelry for that gal who doesn't like to wear scarves or for summer use when it's too hot to wear a scarf but you still want to wear your scarf jewelry. Lots of colors to pick from!

Above are a few of the new scarf jewelry (charms) which we have received the past few weeks. We now have over 70 styles for you to choose from!

The above pictures show just a few of the new scarf jewelry which we now carry at the store. There are over 50 different styles to choose from along with lots of scarves for you to buy to go along with the jewelry. We will be adding new scarf jewelry (also called scarf charms) during the coming months as new shipments are received. Stop in and check them out!

Pictured above is one of the new battery wreaths which just arrived in the store. These wreaths come in both 6 inch and 12 inch sizes and run on AA batteries so you can display them on a dining room table or on the wall without having to find an electrical outlet. They also have a 6 hour timer so you can set them to come on the same time everyday and shut off by themselves after 6 hours. Display them with a candle ring or wreath of your choice and enjoy the new look you get from the battery lights.

On Thursday, June 9th, we will be hosting a special "Fun After 5 Party" here at Creative Touch Gallery. The party will be a "mystery hostess" party which means that one of our lucky guests that night will qualify to receive free merchandise equal to 15% of the sales total that night. The party will start at 5:00PM and end at 8:00PM on Thursday, June 9th. It is an open house party so you can come and go as you please, but you need to be here at 6:00 for the drawing if you want to qualify as our mystery hostess.

Everyone who comes to the store on June 9th between 5-8:00 will receive a 45% off coupon to be used on any one regular priced item (excludes consignment items). (This is the only time we will give out 45% off coupons. The coupon given out at all other parties will be 40% off coupons.) We will also have lots of gourmet food sampling and many other sales specials going on that night only. You are welcome to come alone or invite as many of your friends to come along with you as you'd like. This will be a good chance for any of you who have been thinking about hosting a "Fun after 5" to attend one and see what actually goes on at the parties.

To qualify as the mystery hostess, you need to email us at creativetouch@embarqmail.com and tell us your name and verify that you are planning to attend the party on June 9th. We will then put your name in for the drawing which will be held at 6:00PM. You have to be present at the time of the drawing in order to win. The mystery hostess could easily win over $100.00 of free merchandise that night! Also, anyone who signs up that night to host a future "Fun After 5" party will receive a free $25.00 gift certificate to be received the night of their party. Hoping to see many of you on June 9th!

Pictured here are the new indoor/outdoor pillows which are now available from our sign company. We just received a large shipment with various lake names on them. You can also order your own design and put your favorite lake's name on it. There are over a dozen designs to pick from. You can even order a matching sign to go with it! Stop in and check them out.

Above you will find some pictures from our most recent "Fun After 5" party. There were about 30 gals in attendance and I'm told that they all had a great time! They enjoyed an evening of food sampling, hand massages, decorating demo's and lots of discounts! Contact us at 320-762-8786 if you'd like to host a party of your own. There is no cost to the hostess.

We are announcing the start of a fun new way for you and your friends to get together and enjoy some time together while shopping at Creative Touch Gallery. We are calling it "Fun After 5". These parties will be similar to the home parties that many of you have already attended, however, they will be held at our store, and we'll even do the cooking for you! During the party, we will offer food sampling, free mini hand massages, as well as free demonstrations and decorating tips for your guests. We will establish a starting time with each hostess, but the earliest start time would need to be after 6:00 PM.

The party hostess will be responsible for sending out invitations (which we will provide), along with choosing a selection of our food items which we will prepare for the party. There is no cost for the food. We will provide and prepare the food for free! Each guest to the party will receive one 40% off coupon which can only be used the night of the party. There will also be other featured items which will only be on sale during the night of the party. If the total sales for the evening exceed $125.00, the hostess will receive 15% of the total sales amount in free merchandise. For example, if total sales are $600.00, the hostess would receive $90.00 in free merchandise that she is able to select from anything in the store!

Just give us a call to schedule your "Fun After 5" party. Our phone number is 320-762-8786. We will provide you with all the information that you need along with postcards to mail to your guests. We would ask you to invite a minimum of 15-20 guests with no maximum number. The featured item for parties held during February will be the lighted twig branches at 25% off. Give us a call today!

Purses, jewelry, and scarves, OH MY!

Above you can see some pictures of the new purses that just arrived in the store yesterday. We have made a decision to greatly expand our selection of jewelry and scarves, and also decided to start carrying purses as well. Most of purses will be one of a kind so if you see one you like, you need to buy it then because we will probably not be able to reorder it for you. We have tripled the size of our jewelry and scarf section. Most of our new jewelry, scarves, and purses should arrive next week so stop in and check out the new section!

The lighted twig branches that you see below are now in stock! We have received shipments from all our companies in the past 2 weeks and now have a huge selection for you to choose from. The lights come in several different sizes and you can choose from either electric or battery styles. Also, one of the companies offers lighted branches that can be used outdoors as well as indoors. Stop in and check them out soon!

Pictured above are some of the new vases for floral displays which have a small hole in the back so that you can put an electric cord through them and use some of our electric twig light branches to light up your display! We also have battery twig light branches which could be used in regular vases for table displays where you don't have access to electricity.

Pictured above are some of the new displays showing some new items which have just arrived for spring. There are some stackable glass containers in both a round and square shape. Also lots of new pottery and spring florals!
