MY Advice
Shop for you Mom at Encore this Mother's Day!!

It's HER day, show her how much you care with some of our great gifts!
Here are my Top 10 favorite Mom's Day gifts:

1. Garden in a Bag
Make gardening simple... as simple as a brown paper bag. Shop from Parsley, Oregano and Chives.

Every Mom loves to be pampered! Give your mom yummy smelling body treats from Me! Bath. We have Body Ice Cream, Shower Sherbet and Body Icing in flavors like Cucumber Melon, Peaches and Creme and Lavender Lullaby.

3. Coffee
How about treating your Mom to some of our gourmet coffee! We have 9 different delicious flavors including Hazelnut Creme, Snickerdoodle, Coconut Creme and a special Encore Blend.

4. Spring Door Mats
For a woman that loves a visitor, why not brighten her doorstep with you and a bright spring door Mat from our favorite company, TAG!

5. Jewelry
What woman does not love jewelry? At Encore we carry a wide collection of different jewelry and styles.

6. Garden Apron
She loves to garden in style! To go with your Garden in a Bag, get your Mom a Garden Apron!

Great Gifts for Grads!

It's that time again! We are sad to be losing a longtime member of our Encore Family,

Katie Kestle

She has been a great employee, supply manager, life saver and friend. Katie... you will be missed!

Also a special thanks and good-bye to Amanda Stansbury our Spring Intern!

When we aren't sobbing we are discussing the best graduation gifts to give and get!

Check out Katie and Amanda's Top 10

10. A photo album- Graduates want to keep there memories close by. Can't go wrong

with photo albums or boxes.

9. Stationary- Graduates have lots of thank yous to give as well as people to keep up with. Don't think that just because we are the duigital generation that we won't use paper and pen. Shop from the fun styles at Encore or GET US PERSONALIZED NOTECARDS!!!!

8. Nice Writing Pen- Again, to go along with the PERSONALIZED NOTECARDS

7. Fun Home Decor- We are leaving our college apartments and are ready for things that match... big girl decor to go along with big girl jobs!

6. Picture Frames- Again, big girl decor and memories close by... nice frames solve two of our needs

5. Serenity Angels- These are great keepsakes and also are inspiring!

4. New Tokoyo Bay Watch- We need to be ontime to our big girl job and look good while we do it. Check out our new styles by Tokyo Bay!!!

3. Something RU (or whatever school your gift recepient went to)- Check out the pictures of Muse Fountain or the Fused Glass in the store. Both are great!

2. Jewelry- This is something we can wear on graduation day, to our new job and hang onto for a while. Choose something unique and timeless. We are sure to think of you each time we wear it.

1. Money- The gift that always fits... We could use it to buy our graduation dress we have on hold at Encore :)

Knitting for Peace?

Peace or Procrastination? Jill says procrastination

but our latest yarn company knits for peace!
Why Knot do both?

Not only are the yarns SUPER YUMMY but the needles are AMAZINGLY
BEAUTIFUL! Oh and they have a social conscience...
Many of the people with whom Peace Fleece works overseas are in the midst of political, social or economic crisis and some are living in a war zone. Knitting is essential to the economic and emotional survival of these people. The Palestinian and Israeli shepherds from whose sheep come the Mid-East yarn, face terrorism on a daily basis. The Russian farmers and craftspeople with whom we work confront a daily dose of chaos and despair as well. By buying from this company you are making a diffence! It feels good to give back, right?

New Jewelry Lines Makes Great Gifts!

At the NY Accessories Show we found LOTS of new jewelry.

We have two three new lines in... J Elaine (long, vintage pieces),

Cocobelle (fun beaded pieces) and Nakamol (silver and gold artistic pieces).
All VERY different but equally as cool! Price points from $17.99-$89.99.

You're Invited!

As you plan events this Spring make sure to think of us for
invitations. Party invites run anywhere from $1 to $2.25 each.

No party is too big or small!

Also, do not forget our classic and contemporary
WEDDING INVITATIONS!!!!

Get in the Swing of Things!

Who Knew Glass was So Cool????

Give the Gift of Green!
Empty beer and coke bottles are reborn as adornments with polish & color!
Using a combination of vibrantly colored glass, silver solder and sterling silver, Kathleen makes every single piece by hand. So, while Smart Glass styles are simple and easy-to-wear and use, each piece is also a unique piece of handcrafted art. Kathleen designs all Smart Glass items and either makes or directly supervises the assembly of each piece, assuring optimal product quality.
