Leesburg, VA (November 2, 2011) – At

Town of Leesburg officials will hold a
ribbon cutting ceremony for the grand
opening of L Gifts & Home Furnishings at
11 West Market Street in Leesburg.
Leesburg Mayor Kristen C. Umstattd will
officiate.
L Gifts & Home Furnishings features a
collection of unique and eclectic finds in
furniture, home accessories and décor,
gourmet foods and wine. Owner JoAnn
Schimmel carries quality product lines including Hancock & Moore, Mixture USA, Votivo, The
Gracious Gourmet, Harney & Sons Tea, Savannah Bee Company, L’Epicurean, Taza Chocolates
and more.
Scheduled to coincide with November’s First Friday event in Historic Downtown Leesburg, the
grand opening event for L Gifts & Home Furnishings will feature a tasting of wine and Italian
gourmet food selections offered in the store.
“I’m drawn to things that are different and products you are not likely to find in many other
places. I also look for unique items with a great story, like the pieces made from hand-carved
reclaimed lumber, said Schimmel.
“I am very excited to share these really great finds,” she continued. “I am grateful for the warm
response from those who have visited the shop since September. I look forward to a successful
future in the Town of Leesburg and am thrilled to be a part of it!”
“JoAnn’s passion for what she admires in good design is evident in her shop. L Gifts & Home
Furnishings is warm and inviting. It’s a perfect addition to Historic Downtown Leesburg,”
commented Leesburg Economic Development Manager Marantha Edwards.
