A very big thanks and a $20 Starbucks gift card will also be sent to Lynne Mulroy (owner of Li’l Bits) who submitted the winning photo for her store. Mallori and Makinley (Lynne’s granddaughters) are modeling le•top’s coats and muff from our Soft as Snow Collection. Stop by Li’l Bits to feel this…yes, it looks incredibly soft in the photo, but it’s even softer than it looks! If you’re not near Holton, go to our store locator to find a le•top store near you!

Li’l Bits can be found within Jan’s Apparel and is located at 426 Pennsylvania Avenue, Holton, KS  66436. Their phone number is 785. 364. 3633. They carry le•top’s must-see collection of baby and children’s fashions in newborn to 6X. And just like Yellow Turtle’s Lisa and J, Li’l Bits has some of nicest people you’ll ever want to meet, waiting to help you find the perfect le•top and rabbit moon clothing you’re shopping for.

Congratulations to both our winners, and keep up the hard work on the wonderfully creative window displays throughout the year!
