Page 14A The Kings Mountain Herald | www.kmherald.com Wednesday, November 26, 2014 At new downtown store, focus is on ‘handcrafted, one of a kind’ items DAVE BLANTON dave.kmherald@gmail.com Local business owners and Mayor Rick Murphrey joined members of the Cleveland County Chamber of Commerce in welcoming a little royalty to downtown Saturday. The Queen of Everything, a spe- cialty store that showcases the work of local artists as well as offering customized, one of a kind gifts and party accessories held its grand opening at its lo- cation at the corner of Battle- ground Ave. and E. Gold St. Owner Heather Queen says her store is mainly geared to- ward children, but does offer a wide range of art and collect- ibles for adults too. The main focus of The Queen of Everything is custom- ized gifts and costumes. Queen said she’s set up to supply, say, a dance academy that’s gearing up for a show with specialized + 12 Months/ 12K Miles Additional Bumper to Bumper Coverage tutus that are made to order. She provides an order form where customers can dictate what they need, whether it’s for one item or many dozens of them. She can also supply all the things needed for a unique birthday party or wedding re- ception. She also says that cus- tom gift baskets — complete with candy, wine or champagne, or other goodies, will be a big part of her business. Queen, who has been in the specialty acces- sories business for years out of her home, said she’s decided to put her ideas to work in a store. And she’s getting a lot of help from her two daughters, Kayla, 22, and 12-year-old Teresa who made most of the tutus on dis- play. “They’re both amazing artists — they can do almost any- thing,” Queen said. “This is all family run, me and my daugh- ters.” At the ribbon-cutting Sat- urday, Queen served pizza and cupcakes and was already busy Above & Beyond The Factory Warranty _eeses * 5Yr/100K Miles PowerTrain Warranty + 2Yr/ 24K Miles of Free Maintenance : Including Oil Changes, Tire Rotations & Multi-Point Inspection + $0 Deductible "24 Hour Roadside Assistance 2013 NISSAN TITAN taking orders. “It was a great time and I really loved the turnout,” said Queen, a West Virginia native who has recently lived in Myrtle Beach, S.C. “I felt that the city has really welcomed us.” Queen has a special treat lined up for the holiday season, too. She’ll be serving coffee and hot cocoa for the Kings Mountain Christ- mas Parade on Dec. 6 and for the downtown Christmas light show that kicks off in the next few weeks. “I’ve had a lot of jobs, in- cluding a country-western DJ and managing a radio station. I’ve also worked as a licensed therapist,” Queen said. “But art is more a passion for me. I just like to make things pretty.” Queen has also made contact with a handful of local artists, whose work will be available for purchase in her store. Coming soon at The Queen of Everything?
