Throw Blankets

You'll find it difficult to resist the soft warmth of our luxurious throw blankets, .

Bella Says...

"There's nothing like taking a nap wrapped
up in a toasty warm throw blanket from
The Village Shoppes."

Ear Warmers

Keep warm & cozy in chilly weather with
ear warmers from Britt's Knits.

The stretchy construction of these chunky-stitched ear warmers make them super comfortable to wear.

The Village Shoppes are always looking for ways to make you look "cool"...

for some, the look just comes naturally!

metal-studded, metallic-look wallet
from Mad Style.

Available in multiple color options,
the shiny, metal studs on the wallet accentuate the soft, man-made
leather, giving it a classy look.

cutting edge with a chic wallet from
The Village Shoppes!

Pizza Cutter/Server

Rotopinza is a kitchen accessory
that combines the functionality of a
pizza cutter with the practicality of serving tongs.

Two tools in one, the stainless steel Rotopinza is a genius gadget that is a "must-have" for every pizza lover!

Don't plan your next pizza party without a Rotopinza from The Village Shoppes!

Bella Says...

"Did someone mention pizza?!"

Wine Pourer & Stopper

The Charles Viancin grape pourer/stopper set
is a great way to enhance your evening routine
of enjoying a glass of wine.

Simply slide the pourer over your opened bottle
of wine and, after pouring, reseal for a water-
and air-tight fit.

The set includes the leaf pourer, making serving wine spill-free, and the stem stopper, creating a water-tight seal that prevents oxidation.

Gourmet Seasonings

Our line of Dean Jacob's seasonings
make an exceptional blend for seafood, poultry, vegetables, and more!

Each refillable glass jar features a durable grinder top that releases a savory, aromatic experience.

Explore the entire line of Dean Jacob's
gourmet seasonings at The Village Shoppes.

Bella Says...

"Dean Jacob's gourmet seasonings make me sneeze, but they sure do taste good!"

January Decorating Tip

~Hanging Wall Art Off-Center Hits the Mark~

The days of symmetrical hanging of wall art
are long past, and in their place is a more
imaginative way of thinking.

Wall art that is not traditionally centered on
the wall can invigorate a room, giving it an engaging atmosphere.

When mounting wall art, take into consideration the integration of complementing wall decor to create an impressive display.

Asymmetrical placement of the decor in your
wall design can give you countless possibilities
to achieve a "balanced" look.

The Village Shoppes has everything you need
to implement this idea for a fresh new look
in your home.
