Sorry about that unannounced hiatus! I'm back and ready to go! Just in time for La Petite Pearls' first birthday! I started this little business in my living room one year ago Saturday, February 1, 2013. I had just left a job where I constructed pearl jewelry for a shop in Chicago. I was a little sad to be going, as I wanted to continue making jewelry, but a little research told me that I could get my own raw pearls for a fraction of what I thought they would cost. With some Christmas money I bought all the tools, supplies, and a few strands of pearls that I needed to get started. In my living room, in my tiny apartment in Wrigleyville, I became an entrepreneur. Something I never though I would be, and to be honest, I didn't really ever want to own my own business, but here I am, doing it and loving it!
This is me, after receiving a rather large package of pearls purchased on ebay, the vast majority of the designs I have, are made with these pearls!
I'd like to say I've come a long way from this manic looking girl, but I don't really think I have, I still get this excited! I no longer run La Petite Pearls in my tiny living room in Wrigleyville, I now run it in my slightly larger but still very small living room in Andersonville! I've had the immense pleasure of doing 2 weddings, as seen here:
I absolutely loved going to the Kentucky Music Weekend, my home state!
To celebrate La Petite Pearls' very first birthday I'm offering some pretty sweet coupons for you, any purchase up to $75 is $5 off and anything over $75 is $10 off, on Etsy, using these coupons: BDAY5OFF, and BDAY10OFF. This special sale will only last until Saturday at midnight!
And here's the link to the store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/LaPetitePearlsandArt?ref=si_shop
To avoid making 2 posts in one day, remember my post a while ago about cleaning silver and pearl jewelry? I am now going to include a small packet of cleaner with every purchase, so you don't have to worry about the silver tarnishing, this stuff will do the trick!
Keep an eye out, more is yet to come!
