ATTENTION! All Lexie’s Trading Post Fans!

Lexie’s Family Skin Care is NOW Lexie’s of Louisville!

We’ll we’ve done it again… We’re making changes again to our skin care line. THIS time however, we’re only tweaking the name – and for a VERY good reason!

In the daily operations of our store here at 2224 Frankfort Ave. we’ve noticed a BIG interest over the holidays in buying local. People in Louisville are VERY inteterested and committed to buying local and interested in keeping their hard earned dollars in Louisville. When we inform them that our products are COMPLETELY manufactured right here in Louisville (Fern Creek, to be exact) – we’ll that combined with the high quality of our Superior Quality Family Skin Care’s results, that pretty much seals the deal!

So here’s the change. Instead of just having the Lexie’s logo on ALL our family skin care line, we’ve now added “of Louisville” to the label. We are VERY proud to now have the “Lexie’s of Louisville” logo on all our skin care line.

Again, ALL our Family Skin Care lines have been made right here in Louisville, Kentucky.

Owner, Karen Crook had this to say about the new Lexie’s of Louisville Logo on their Family Skin Care line sold exclusively at Lexie’s Trading Post:

“Gary and I are recent transplants in the Louisville area. Five years in February to be exact. Being in the Air Force, we’ve moved around the country A LOT and have been a part of many different communities. We’ve definitely found our home here. We LOVE Louisville! And we love to show that pride right on our labels of our locally manufactured family skin care line. We think it’s a GREAT fit and we’re proud to show that connection! And our customers really like the local identity they get from using our products knowing that their hard earned dollars stay right here in Louisville.”

Who: Hats by Adorably Audrey

“I recall receiving my first sewing machine when I was 12 years old. A gift from my Grandmother. I spent many Saturday afternoons with her and she taught me many of her sewing skills. I dedicate my hat business to my Grandma who always encouraged me to follow my dreams. Even on a bad hair day, I just grab a hat and go! I'm always stopped and asked . . .Where did you get that hat?" Check out more items at http://www.adorablyaudrey.com/

Hats by Adorably Audrey is operated by Audrey Forst, who grew up in Chicago, so she knows cold weather. My first career job was a flight attendant for a major airline and I was initially based in New York before moving back to Chicago. I loved exploring different cities which my job allowed me to do. I modeled clothing part-time which gave me the opportunity to experience the world of fashion. In my spare time I enjoy playing tennis, reading novels and old cook books. My most rewarding and challenging job is being a full-time Mom who has raised three amazing boys with my husband; all who are the love of my life!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Lexie’s Trading Post is Back and Better than Ever!

2011-07-20T13:00:00.001-07:00

ATTENTION! All Lexie’s Trading Post Fans!

Lexie’s Trading Post is Back and Better than Ever!

The NEW! Lexie's Trading Post located at 2224 Frankfort Ave.
Louisville, KY 40205

In case the name sounds familiar, the original Lexie’s Trading Post at the intersection of Bardstown Road and Speed Avenue in The Highlands’ opened in September 2008….

That’s right Karen and Gary Crook managed to open their first large-scale retail establishment right at the very beginning of the 2008-09 Credit Meltdown. Talk about bad timing!

In June of 2009, their local bank stated that they would NOT be accepting government money (from the TARP program) and was also not renewing their line of credit portfolio forcing the couple to liquidate the old store and close their doors at the end of September 2009, exactly ONE year to the day!

The following year-and-a-half, Karen and Gary focused on The Giggles Program Family Skin Care line, manufactured right here in Kentucky, by expanding their family skin care line that is sold online and at arts and crafts fairs.

Now they’ve opened Lexie’s again! This time in the Crescent Hill/Clifton neighborhood on 2224 Frankfort Avenue. We are now a Family Skin Care with Whimsical and Unique gift store.

Karen Crook had this to say about their new location: “We thought initially about going back to Bardstown road, but decided that if we were going to start over again – we were going to start over again! – and that included our location and Business Plan as well. Besides, Frankfort Avenue is and always has been where a large part of our family skin care buying demographic has resided because of all the Crescent Hill 4^th of July events we’ve exhibited in over the years. It just seemed like a natural fit!...”

So what’s new with the new Lexie’s Trading Post?:

1) First, they’ve dropped the Apparel and Footwear sections of their store offerings and are concentrating solely on their own family skin care lines and whimsical & unique gift selections.

2) Now the famous Lexie’s and The Giggles Program’s Family Skin Care line! This is also new to the NEW! Lexie’s Trading Post. They have split the Giggle’s Program into also a Lexie’s Skin Care line. The new Lexie’s line will target adults with expanded product offerings and The Giggle’s Program will continue to target Tweens, kids and babies with this proven extra mild skin care products. They will be offering in this new location a Bulk Buying Opportunity for the skin care aficionado! Devoted purchasers and Green Movement adherents are now able to buy our quality Giggle’s Program and Lexie’s Lotion Family Skin Care line by the ounce (or pound)! Bring in your own containers (or buy a new set from Lexie’s!) and have them filled - at a discount - by the ounce with your favorite, Shea Butter Lotions, Olive Oil based Bath Salts, Succulent Sugar Scrubs, Extra Sudsy Shower Gels and Body Creams and our new Pet Shampoo!   All will be available July 2011 for Bulk Purchase and, of course, our bottled offerings are still available as well.

Karen said this about this new bulk buying concept: “We’re really jazzed about splitting The Giggle’s Program’s Family Skin Care line into also a Lexie’s Skin Care line for adults. It’s really opened up A LOT of awesome product possibilities. Plus, both products will still contribute to our Bear’s to ER’s Program. As for the bulk sales idea, Louisville is very environmentally conscious – especially the Crescent Hill/Clifton areas where we are now located. We have so many regulars that don’t want to simply throw away yet another container, and of course, we cannot reuse the containers – but they can have them refilled! So we now offer that service and are very happy to do so.”

3) Also, they’re concentrating approximately half of their retail gift floor space for the local Kentucky crafter. Karen and Gary have developed some wonderful friendships with crafters in all their years of selling their skin care line at Arts and Craft Fairs throughout the commonwealth – Louisville, in particular. So local craftsperson’s please feel free to call Lexie’s Trading Post to schedule an appointment for a showing and possible consideration in the new store. They are currently especially looking for jewelry, woodworking, greeting cards, pottery and pet accessories crafters.

4) In the spirit of the “Green Movement” and their commitment to the Whimsical & Unique gift ideas that is the theme of their store, they are also offering recycled (as they like to call them – “Previously Loved!”) gifts in immaculate condition to their patrons. This has actually been a HUGE hit! People seem to really enjoy the unique offerings of Lexie’s “Previously Loved” gift selections and appreciate the reduced price they carry. It’s truly become a “win-win!”

Gary said it best on this subject: “At first we were a little skeptical on the idea of mixing brand new with ‘Previously Loved’ gift selections. These previously loved items are – because of the age in some case – truly one-of-a-kind! Also they make awesome conversation starters because, in some cases, people really identify with some of these objects from their earlier days.   We keep our quality standards VERY high and are VERY PICKY on what we choose to carry. We have something for everyone!

Hi Lexie's Followers,

If you are from the Louisville area, then you have already heard this news. It will change how we tell people where we are located but we still have Clifton's Pizza right next door, so that is a GOOD landmark. Anyway, what you see here is Ginny's Diner- it is GONE, and getting ready for the Comfy Cow coming in....yummy ice cream across the street.

Fathers Day is right around the corner

2011-06-03T11:35:00.000-07:00

Hello Lexie Followers,

As you know Fathers Day is right around the corner. I had a friend ask, "What can I get for my husband, from the kids?" Ah, there are so many items for that question. I have narrowed it down to item to give you an idea of what we have. A YardBird business card holder, made right there in Louisville, KY. Come in and get yours today.

It's Wine Time

2011-05-28T14:30:00.000-07:00

With the weather getting better it's getting time to hang in the back yard and drink some spirits with your friends....some it is Wine Time. Need a "Good Friend" gift? We have one that will be perfect for the occasion. Just arrived: blown glass wine stoppers, wine rings (so you don't drink someone else's wine--unless you want the more without having to get up).

Need somehting above your couch?

2011-05-19T13:13:00.000-07:00

Have you been looking for that something to go above your couch, in the bathroom or at the top of the staircase? We have options for you. Look at these paintings-all are original oils or mixed medias that could compliment any room in your house or office. We have several others. Stop by and take a look.
