GraphX Design and La Belle Maison in the Little Pink House on the main street in Overton have opened up a seasonal Christmas Shop to add holiday design elements to valley homes. The selection of merchandise is limited and ever-changing, much like the stock of La Belle Maison.

“We want everyone to feel that their Christmas décor is as unique as their home décor,” stated Roxanne LaBeau, owner of the shop. “We order a limited décor so that people don’t find ‘their’ fabric or decorations gracing someone else’s home.”

Color selections are traditional, contemporary, or modern, and of course is even a Pink Tree. New styles of ornaments will be presented every seven to ten days. Once an item sells out, an entirely new style will replace it.

There will also be a service for custom tree skirts and stockings. In addition, customers can bring in their holiday wreaths for an update, or they can purchase a new wreath. Customers are encouraged to bring in their vases, coffee pots, wine glasses, etc, and Roxanne will help them design a holiday centerpiece or mantle piece using their existing treasures.

In addition to holiday décor, GraphX is offering printing services for holiday cards, newsletters, and calendars. Most orders need at least a week’s notice. There is also a line of Christmas cards in stock with poinsettia and pine tree seeds embedded directly into the paper of the card. Once the season is over, card recipients need only plant the card to enjoy these beautiful plants.

The Christmas Shop is offering six free Children’s Holiday Craft Classes every Saturday beginning on November 3. The first class was so popular that the shop is considering offering a second class as well. Each class is designed so that the participant takes home a finished craft project that day.

Another offering is the 25 Days of Holidays Activities Book. The book is over 250 pages, divided into activities for each of the 25 days of December. The book can be personalized with a week’s notice.

For more information, stop in the shop at 240 S. Moapa Valley Blvd. The Christmas Shop is open Monday through Friday the same hours as GraphX, and on Saturdays from 8am until noon.
