Earstrings? Sees Exponential Growth of Jewelry Line: Debra Shepard, LLC Acquires and Relocates Company to Meet Market Demand
BOULDER, CO (ContentDesk) March 14, 2006 -- Debra Shepard, the exclusive manufacturer and distributor of Earstrings? earrings, the worlds most popular brand of threader earrings, announced today its third successful week of shipping from new company offices in Boulder, Colo. The three-year old business, formerly Earstrings, LLC of Santa Rosa, Calif., relocated to Colorado in February, re-launching under the umbrella group, Debra Shepard, LLC. Earstrings?, as well as the other five brands in the line, will continue to sell by the same name.
Over the last three years, we have seen consistent triple figure growth of Earstrings? on an annualized basis, said Debra Shepard president Ryan J. Hurst.
Our lines are so unique that they are not as dependent on the constant fluctuations in the fashion and jewelry industries. For this reason, combined with the expansion of our operations in Colorado, we intend to keep and increase the growth pattern that has made Earstrings? earrings a fashion icon across the country and around the world. Earstrings? earrings, which use a thin strand of sterling silver or gold chain to create an alluring and glamorous look without uncomfortable post backings, have appeared in more than 30 fashion magazines since the inception of the business in 2003. Top-name celebrities such as Paris Hilton, Beyonc?, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson have all worn their favorite pairs of Earstrings? earrings to prominent public events, and the distinctive jewelry has become a hot must-have in VIP gift bags at many high profile occasions, including the MTV Movie Awards, Zootopia, Jingle Ball and Fashion Rocks in NYC. Debra Shepard brands are now available in over 700 specialty boutiques and gift stores across the US and in Canada and Japan, and separate private label designs are sold in large retailers nationwide. Earstrings?, with more than 20 million hits to date on www.earstrings.com, is pursuing new channels for distribution in the UK, South Africa and the Middle East to meet increasing market interest.
Currently, Debra Shepard, LLC works with a wide ranging network of international sales representatives to promote and distribute the earrings.
In addition, artist Debra Shepard, the creative genius behind the brand, will continue to design for the business, telling media members this February that she is excited to produce more original designs for the fashion forward company..
Friendship- Do You Value?
Friendship is a gift of God. Some of us are blessed with good friends. But as it happens, these friendships are taken for granted in some cases and not valued. It is similar to a case of two couples. Say one has no child even after many years of marriage and the other has many children, more than they can manage.
What do you think? Will the couple with many children value the children as much as the couple which has none? Everything is relative in life. We value what we don't have and give less value to what is freely available with us. Friendship is one such relationship. Please view some friendship screensavers and friendship wallpapers and then let us continue with our discussion. Why should we value friendships? What qualities doe a good friend bring in our relationship that makes the friendship so valuable?...

Buying A Romantic Gift For Him
Buying gifts for a man is easy if you know what his interests are. And while many of the gifts that men like won't necessarily qualify as 'romantic' - at least from a woman's point of view - this is the time to be a little flexible in your approach.What's the point of buying him a designer bath set when he'd rather have a new pair of running shoes?After all, the idea behind gift giving is that you give the person something they'll treasure, or at least appreciate. And while it might not be what you'd want for yourself, this is about him. So maybe it's time to expand the definition of a romantic gift.So what do men want?We once overheard a male friend complaining, "Just once I'd like to open a Christmas gift and find a great set of wrenches instead of socks and a silk bathrobe!" Another man we read about lamented, "Wouldn't it be great to have my girlfriend say to me, 'I love it when you turn up for dinner with grease under your fingernails after working in your garage. And I hope you...

The Gift Shopping Blues
When it comes to great gift ideas, I have about as much imagination as a hamster. (If they were imaginative, hamsters wouldn't run endlessly in those little wheels). It's odd, really. I'm what you'd call a "natural" when it comes to shopping. I LOVE to shop. Give me an entire day at Filene's Basement and I'm in Heaven.For the uninitiated, Filene's Basement is one of the most famous bargain basements in the United States.
Lurking beneath Filene's Department store in Downtown Boston, "The Basement" is a place where merchandise is continually marked down and competition for the best buys is fierce. There's even a day each Spring when wedding dresses sell so cheaply that scuffles break out in the aisles.I prefer my shopping nonviolent. But still, the prospect of a great big store full of unexplored "stuff" is more exciting to me than a giant Easter Egg hunt is to the average five year old. I know I'm going to find Easter Eggs (i.e., "hidden treasures"). I just have to uncover...
