We just started posting Christmas items over there, and we will be doing two market fairs (one on November 16 and one on December 7th) to establish The Pink Shovel as a local community business. For Christmas, we will be offering handmade Christmas stockings, ornaments, aprons, earrings, shirts, and other home goods. Everything is coming up Christmas!

Yesterday, the new printer arrived and I’m so excited about what happens next. I plan to offer more than just designs on white shirts. We are going to do designs on dark shirts. We are going to offer personalized license plates, keychains (no more not being able to find your unique name), and more. In fact, we’re even going to have jewelry! I cannot wait to begin. In fact, I will be starting to upload many things soon!

I also found some adorable fabric with the help of my grandchildren and they have insisted that this fabric will be a part of my next collection for kids. Stay tuned for what I do with said fabric!

I am also in the process of uploading our selection of gift wrap and inputting what can and cannot be gift wrapped. Some of the items are not offered through our store, but through a 3rd party that ships their items independently from ours. Those items cannot be gift wrapped, although I’m certain you can send a gift message with the item.

Also, because I’ve been asked multiple times over the last two years, I’m going to be including personalized memory bears and t-shirt quilts. I am still working out the pricing of the items, so this is a work in progress, but I expect to have them ready by next week or so.

I have made my own shorts, dresses, shirts, and hats, but I want to offer those things to my customers as well. Not everyone can afford my custom sewing services (we go from pattern, to design, to fitting, to it is now yours). It is why I want to offer some RTW clothing pieces that can be purchased and worn. While custom made is best, it’s not always in someone’s budget. RTW is the next best thing.

We have the solution!

Keep your favorite tube of lip balm or lipstick with you at all times and handy on your keychain. We have holders that can attach to keychains, purses, phone holders, or wallets with ease. Keep everything handy.

These Chapstick® holders are sturdy and come with a magnetic closure. Holds whatever you insert in it securely. Plus, they are reasonably priced.

The biggest change is incorporating all three websites. That means merging items from K and R Expressions and K and R Styles Darkside to this website. I have thought about this for a week or more. It was time. If I wanted to sell my items in one physical store, I would need to do that, right? It only makes sense to go ahead and begin to broaden my reach through this one site. Then I am not trying to juggle multiple sales and blogs, and when things go awry, I am only working on 1 website, and not 3.

My goal is to get things organized as quickly as possible. There will be adult clothing and children’s clothing. I think this is fantastic because I can’t wait to include Embroidered shirts for adults! I had planned to do this for some time now, and with it all on one site, I can now do so without trying to do everything at once. In fact, look for some new embroidered adult shirts this coming week.

I hope that everyone will enjoy this change.

The post Changes in our store appeared first on K and R Styles LLC.

We have about 3 more loads to empty up the large storage building, plus taking things to the small storage building that we don’t use but occasionally. I didn’t realize how much stuff has still been sitting in storage since August until we opened the storage building and started pulling out items that have been in there for some time.

My goal is to have it ready by next week. All of it. My sewing area, my printing area, my heat press area, and my cutting area. All of it. I promise I will be adding new stuff on our YouTube channel starting this week. I’m ready to grow. That is to be the new normal.

I know that I have been hinting at major changes coming for K and R Styles for some time now, but I am now exiting the planning stage, and I’m ready to begin the implementation stage.

One of the biggest changes for us has been to incorporate the business. Prior to this year, it was a sole proprietorship; however, I wanted to do more, and that meant that I needed to find a way to expand and maintain individual brands. I will actually be talking about this at a future date on a blog, but for now, just know that branding to me is a big deal!

Currently, you can find some of our newest and our most popular items for sale on Etsy in our Rose Needle Co shop. I really wanted to focus on our designs and embroidered/sewn items, and this was a great way to do so.

As for changes, you will soon see us phase out many of our items as the focus for those types of items shift to our Etsy shop. As for K and R Styles LLC, we will begin to sell blanks at wholesale prices. Unfortunately, at this time, we cannot offer Net30 or Net60, etc. accounts. This is not for embroidered items. This will only be blanks. Items that those who embroider, HTV, DTG, or Sublimate, can use to create their items. Over the last year, I have struggled with finding just the right products, and I realized that creating products for others who are struggling would be great, too.

Being able to expand into the blanks business gives K and R Styles a chance to grow and expand our market reach. Just know that this is something that will also be addressed on my YouTube channel as well. I’m truly hoping that I will be able to start creating videos that are geared more toward our product use rather than just vlogs. It’s difficult to vlog all the time because I do try to keep my grandchildren out of the videos as my vlogs are more business vlogs rather than family vlogs. Just know that this is the direction that I will soon be taking. Items will start to disappear soon from our catalog. Just don’t be alarmed. If you are looking for something that was in our shop here, but it isn’t on our Etsy shop, then just contact us. We will gladly create a custom order for you and sell it to you.

Recently we were able to add shoes, shorts (just in time for the upcoming Spring season), Anime inspired products, and a few toys that fit with our brand. (I’m sorry, I’m just so in love with the little robot from Star Wars!)

We even found some lunch bags and eco-friendly water bottles that you may like.

We will continue to build up our store and brand as we scour the internet to find you items that complement our handmade products. Plus, we will still continue to offer you the fabulous customer service that you have come to expect from us.

The post New Items Available appeared first on K and R Styles LLC.

Last weekend we spent some time working on personalized Christmas ornaments to add to both our Etsy shop and our website store. The ornaments will be ready to photograph this weekend, which means that we will have about 20 new items being added to Etsy and the website.

We also have several new pieces of clothing that will be added to the website this evening. It is our goal to have everything caught up this weekend. We wouldn’t be behind with everything; however, sometimes we end up creating a multitude of products and posting everything takes time. Creativity is a strong suit of ours and sometimes we are caught up in the production of everything and forget that we still have to do something with all of our lovely creations.

Now that the glitter has settled (on everything, unfortunately), we are going to clear off last week’s project and make room for something new. Why? We say, Why not?
