Company: Fuchsia Frog, 320 E. Maple, Birmingham.

Owner: Meg Ferron of Bloomfield Hills.

Background: The store opened in May 2003.

Ferron's mother came up with the name. ""We both loved the sound of it,"" Ferron said.

Ferron had periodically worked in retail, and she wanted a creative environment.

""I grew up surrounded by beautiful things,"" Ferron said.

Its niche: The store carries a range of gift items, from home accents to baby clothes. Some of its most popular items are Marye-Kelley decoupage frames that can be personalized for any occasion. The Marye-Kelley line also offers monogrammed wine coasters.

The store has a baby registry and carries the Zutano line of baby clothing, which is popular because the soft cotton pieces come in a wide variety of prints and colors that can be continually mixed and matched.

Items for the home include scented candles by Seda France, Sabre knives and serving pieces, and unique message pillows.

Gift wrapping is available for an additional cost.

Hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. Saturday, closed Sunday.

For more information: Call 248-203-6550.
