leaps, bounds and a necklace

The Vintage Pearl has been growing by leaps and bounds!

It's so fun and exciting, yet a little overwhelming... we can't seem to hire and train fast enough :) In Jaunary our wait to ship time was about a week, definately less than 2 weeks... and right now it's 3-4 weeks. We are working extra hard and extra hours to get all caught up, thank you to all who have been so patient and understanding during this growing season!

If you are planning to order for Mother's Day, the earlier the better! Not sure of the exact cutoff date but right now it looks like early April, so please plan accordingly!

Today Ryan went up to the studio to work on a few things- we needed a bigger stamping table so more of us could stamp all at once. Caleb (my almost 9 year old) went with him and returned with a necklace for me he had made all by himself!

Caleb made me a necklace!

Isn't he a sweetie?

It's my new favorite necklace :)

Sweet necklace! The simple words, "I love you", aren't really "simple" are they:) They are like a mother's kiss to a childs boo-boo!

Great job!
