PROFILE |
 |
If silk flowers and sconces are your thing, Home Interiors & Gifts wants in your house. The company makes or purchases decorating accessories, which about 60,000 independent "displayers" then sell through home parties, mainly in the US but also in Mexico and Puerto Rico. Its products (framed artwork, candles, plaques, artificial flowers) are geared toward women on a budget; most items sell for $7-$30. The company was founded in 1957 by Mary Crowley, sister-in-law of makeup maven Mary Kay Ash. Executives led by Joey Carter (Crowley's grandson) and buyout firm Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst recapitalized Home Interiors & Gifts in 1998 in an intermediate step toward taking it public. Hicks, Muse owns 66% of the firm.
