We've got some new scarf jewelry! It is different from our other scarf jewelry in the fact that this jewelry pictured has three rings on the back of the jewelry instead of one. This gives it the look created in the first picture. Perfect gift idea for those who do not like tying scarves, but love to wear them!

This scarf is perfect for those who don't like scarves due to their need to be tied or the long length of other scarves. Enhanced with a built-in tying system, this scarf will never need to be tied! Just slip one end through the built-in hole located in opposite end to keep scarf tied together. This is a very warm scarf-perfect for Minnesota weather!

These scarves are unlike any other! They are composed of material woven in a circle, therefore creating a tube. When wearing these scarves, you can wear it as a full circle or tie it like you would any other scarf! We have two different styles of this circular scarf through the weave of the material. Come in and pick your favorite today! We have the first style of circular scarf available in these colors: Dark Grey, Light Tan, Light Grey, White, Two-Toned Brown and Black. The second style of circular scarf is available in: Light Grey, White, Purple, Blue, Tan and Black.

Here is a look at our bendable necklaces. They come in six different colors but no matter what color you get they are sure to please! The bendable necklaces can be utilized as necklaces, bracelets, scarf jewelry and even hair accessories! Create your own personal style through bending the necklace any which way you like. Stop in to get your bendable necklace and customize your wardrobe!

A look at a new product we are carrying! They are organic spices that come individually wrapped in 1 tsp. packages. This eliminates the exposure to sun and air that can otherwise tamper with the taste of the spice. It also eliminates the need to find the small measuring spoons to measure out the spices-here, they are all packaged in 1 tsp measurements! The packages we carry hold a combination of spices; that way you are getting the spices you use the most whether you are a griller, pie-maker or chili enthusiast! These spices are sure to add flavor that you have never tasted before! Stop in to see what your tastebuds have been missing or to add something to the stockings at Christmas!

Today, we not only have the scarves shown in previous blogs with magnetic clasps but also decorative scarves as well. Along with the large floral print and scroll-like print we have scarves with fringes or scarves that look like fish net. Whatever your style or taste, you are sure to find a scarf that brings more "you" to your outfit.

First of all, the Creative Touch Staff would like to apologize for the unfullfilled promise to add more pictures when we recieved new fabric scarves in March. Now, it being eight months later, do we have scarves! We now have thirty colors in the magnetic clasp fabric necklaces! Even though we have had fabric scarves for almost a year, they are still in fashion and are flying off the shelves! Stop in today to add a touch of color to your wardrobe that shows off your fashion-sense and style or buy them as gifts for the hard-to-buy gals on your Christmas list!

Here is a picture of the fabric necklaces (scarflets) which are very popular right now. They currently come in 13 colors starting from the left the colors are: purple, beige, red, mauve, rose, turquoise, black, light gray, dark gray, lime, brown, tan, rusty red.
We will be receiving 12 new colors starting in early March and will post pictures when they arrive.

Here are a couple new pictures of some new additions to the collection of scarf jewelry which we carry. Some of these pictures make the jewelry look more gold colored than it really is. Most of the jewelry comes in a silver color only but we do have about a dozen styles that also come in a gold color. Altogether, we now carry over 65 different styles of the jewelry for you to pick from. Give us a call at 320-762-8786 if you wish to order by phone and have it shipped to you!

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!

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.

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!
