T-Shirt Shoppe

Yes, the T-Shirt Shoppe is still in business and this time we want to give you some
ideas on Keepsake Embroidery. Keepsake embroidery with your family names are always a popular for the holidays.
Here is a few to get you started:
Towels: Get low pile or the ones with the band on the bottom. I had one lady who wanted her grandkids names on their own towels when they came for a visit. It was a hit!
Aprons: Clever sayings can be stitched or heat pressed on for your favorite cook.
Table Linen: The family name can be placed in the center of a tablecloth with individual names on each napkin.
Blankets: Kids (and adults) just love to see their names in the corner.
Totes and Duffle Bags: A great way to personalize for the teens. We have a great selection in our online catalog. Make sure these can be hooped onto the machine.
Scarves: Make sure they have a very tight knit. Our supplier has some real nice ones starting at $5.90ea.
Baby Items: Onesies, knit beanies, bibs all look cute with their names on them.
Quilt swatches: We can transfer pictures, embroidery sayings or stock designs on your swatch. Make sure you bring in more fabric than you need for us to hoop properly.
Applique: Have your favorite printed fabric stitched on sweatshirts in geometric or animal shapes. Examples of these are posted online through the Embroidery page.
We are happy to announce that our online catalog items no longer has a minimum order requirement except for full same cases. We can get 1 or many for a lower price. The supplier does charge extra for pulling 1 item out than they do for more, but the price of the item remains the same. Ordered items take 2-3 DAYS to arrive.
You can come to us if you want to bring me your item or I can pick them up, then deliver. Remember our new address at 213 N 500 W.
Special discounts and sales are always posted on our website at www.tshirtshop.com
Call us for any questions you might have.

An Exclusive Break through Anti-Aging Miracle! From Shaklee!
Researchers have been looking for a longevity formula for as long as scientific inquiry has existed as a discipline. And…they’ve made great strides. The discovery of bacteria as a source of infection, the development of antibiotics, cutting-edge surgery, and research into the process of aging, have all helped extend lives beyond what they were just a century ago.
Imagine what could happen…if your cells actually became younger, if you could dramatically slow down the aging process!
1997 Dr. Meishiang Jang, Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacognosy, College of Pharmacy, University of Illinois at Chicago, reported that topical resveratrol application prevented the skin cancer development in mice treated with a carcinogen,was not yet known to have anti-aging properties. Later studies would indicate that resveratrol could possibly be effective in the treatment and prevention of diseases such as Huntington’s and Alzheimer’s, cardiovascular disease, lung disorders, and as reported in a recent article in U.S. News, exciting new resveratrol research may also lead to better treatments for type 2 diabetes, cataracts, and obesity.
In recent interview with Barbara Walters, Dr.David Sinclair talked about his discovery of the genes in the body that scientists believe actually control the aging process and play a key role in the speed at which our bodies age.
Dr. Sinclair has made resveratrol 1000 times more potent than the concentration in red wine to dramatically intensify its effectiveness at the cellular level.
This discovery…that resveratrol has the power to reverse the aging process is the most important breakthrough in wellness in the last 100 years.
The Science team at Shaklee took this exciting research to the next level to create Vivix Cellular Anti-Aging Tonic..by sourcing the purest and the most potent reservation on the market. Shaklee identified a natural resveratrol source that is the purest available.
Vivix turns back the clock…So are you ready to…live 25 years longer and feel 25 years longer? Don’t waste a minute starting your new, healthier life.

Hoffman Concrete
340 Sonny St.
785-2775

Hoffman Concrete has added concrete countertops to their specialty business. These countertops are so beautiful and unique that the Hoffman’s have recently installed them in their own home. The form and function of the countertop blend together seamlessly. The main reason for this was that using concrete as the finished material allowed for complete freedom in the design and construction process.

Depth and thickness can be created in the front apron of the countertops. This stands in contrast to the typical one inch thick slab nature of granite. With concrete you are able to show off the mass of the material. Practically speaking, adding depth and thickness to the countertop surface allows for the creation of landscapes in the surface area. This includes the addition of drain board relief’s, cutting board reliefs, or areas for potted plants.
Concrete is an ideal material for countertops, benches, vanities, bathroom countertops, or fireplaces. This material allows for customization and creation of unique surfaces.
Cast concrete countertops have become the favorite of designers and architects because concrete can give warmth and color depth not available in granite, marble or Corian. Hand finishing gives our counters a finish as smooth as glass with a patina that improves over the years. Concrete countertops are the most unique, personal countertop option because they are made from scratch for each client. To determine whether concrete is right for you, contact Hoffman Concrete for more information.
