Last Christmas I gave the Finders KeyPurse key hooks to several family members and they just loved them! These clever little hooks are practical, useful and inexpensive - plus they are just too cute.

While they last, we have marked down all of our Summer styles to $5.00 each. There are 9 styles from which to choose that are in limited supply.
We just got a shipment of 5 new styles that are now available on-line at $7.00/each.
JUST ARRIVED:
Green Artistree, Serenity Butterfly, Pink Angel, Dolphin Dance and Orange Blossom.

The Hang ‘em High Purse Hooks have been incredibly popular with our customers who don’t like to set their purse on the floor while away from the office or home.
Our most popular style is Asian Garden – simply lovely. Shown also is our newest style that was just released: Red Ruby Heart. You can also see how these work in the picture on the right.



These make great little gifts!

Personally I love decorating with table runners, placemats and fabric napkins. We already offer the Bella Taylor line of quilted purses in great fabric prints that are similar to Vera Bradley. The same company who makes Bella Taylor also offers quilted and woven table linens by Nancy’s Nook from Victorian Heart.
This year we are trying to diversify outside of my home fragrance comfort zone. I do tend to offer products that I myself would personally buy; so it wasn’t much of a stretch for us to try adding a few new table linens to see if our customers like them as much as I do.
In keeping with an eye toward value for 2009, I have chosen items that are reasonably priced. We now have available: Table Runners, Placemats, Napkins and Aprons in gorgeous traditional prints. There are also some gorgeous new quilted fabric tote bags and cute Faith Backpacks for students.

Summer is almost here and who doesn’t need a new tote bag for trips to the beach? Our new line by JoAnn Marie Designs is so pretty!
We are starting out with 3 long handled large tote bags in marvelous animal and floral prints that sell for only $14.95.



There are 3 mini-totes that are perfect for around town and casual outings. We have giraffe, zebra and black w/lime dots. These cuties sell for just $9.95.


For our brown-baggers who now enjoy carrying lunch from home to the work; consider our new lunch bags at $9.95. You can go green by eliminating all those little plastic bags and storing sandwiches, etc in reusable plastic Rubbermaid style storage pieces. Each lunch tote has a thermal insulation liner to keep your food cool and you’ll be very stylish while saving money!


I have been using canvas cloth type shopping bags now for over a year when we grocery shop. Consider doing your part for the environment by leaving the plastic and paper bags at the store. Invest in reusable tote bags and Go Green!
Fresh Bet’s retail store switched over to all paper bags last year and we no longer use plastic bags. We have been using biodegradable corn starch packing peanuts for at least 5 years and we recycle all of our inbound boxes and packing materials. The Fresh Bet store is saving green with CFL bulbs and timers for lighting and lots of re-purposing of displays, etc.

Last year we offered a lovely key and purse holder gift set by Finders KeyPurse in the Fleur de Lis pattern. It has been well received by our customers. This year the same company is offering the same type set in two brand new designs for winter and holiday gift-giving. These are only available for the winter season.
We have the Angel set done in pink and silver and the Silver Teardrop done in black & silver:


The cost per set is $21.00 and they are beautifully gift boxed and include a black velvet carrying pouch. Each set includes one Finders KeyPurse key hook to hang your keys over the top of your purse so they don’t get lost in the bottom and one Hang ‘em High Purse Hanger to keep your handbag off the floor when you are dining out. These clever hangers enable you to hang your purse from your table or a counter where you can keep your eye on it and it doesn’t sit on the floor picking up germs.
We also added the brand new Asian Garden & Jungle Safari Hang ‘em High Purse Hangers recently, shown below:
