Introduced 18 months ago, God's Girlz recently saw the addition of Imani, a black fashion doll, joining Abigail, Sarah and Hannah.

Formerly located on Harvest Time's Sanford property, the boutique serves as a fund-raising tool to provide relief to disaster, hunger and refugee victims. It also supports the homeless and local youth and children's organizations.

Highlighting Prov. 4:23-"Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life."-the bracelet features Swarovski crystals and sparkling white beads and hearts to remind the wearer to live a life of purity. All of Me retails for $89.

Andrea Hawkins, manager of Harvest Christian Bookstore in Watauga, Texas, said that with the new display unit, her store has "sold four times as many kids' T-shirts in just two months compared to the entire past two years."

What's new and in style in home decor today?
"We are seeing the evolution of a trend that supports subtly multi-functional home decor. There's pressure or demand to create lovely decorative accessories that push the envelope on their 'purpose' for existence. For example, we have a cross, figural item for decorating a child's room that on its own is aesthetically appealing, yet we have added three core elements to the product: it is also a photo frame, a piggy bank, and it has a dedicated area for personalization. The real trick is designing home decor products is to increase value by subtly enhancing functionality without diminishing the visual appeal."
