Happy Thanksgiving!

Maxine's Pearls would like to wish you all a blessed Thanksgiving!!! I have SO much to be thankful for ... my amazing family and my incredible customers!

It isn't too late to place your Christmas order either. If you would like to give a gift certificate, Maxine's Pearls has those too! Be sure to check us out on facebook (I've posted many new designs) as well as our web site (www.maxinespearls.com)!

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Fall Beauties!

These are 2 of the first Pearls I ever made.

Still my favorite designs ... and the girls are pretty amazing too!

Christmas Fabrics are in!

I just received a beautiful shipment of Christmas fabrics. Now is the time to order your Christmas Pearl!

Hearts-A-Flutter

Here is a new design that has been added to the MP line. It looks great layered too! Pair it with ruffle pants or leggings for an adorable look! Can be made in any of the fabrics on our web site.

First Day

I have to admit that I am feeling a little nervous about the first day of school. Yes, teachers get nervous too! Will it be a good year? Can I balance everything in my life?

THANK YOU to many of you have ordered Pearls for your child's first day of school ... that makes me smile!!! My kids have also picked out their 1st day outfits. Here's Lilly's choice ... she calls it "Pearl of the Ocean." Now to figure out what bottoms to make to go with it???? I have a week to figure that out.

For your information, once school starts, my turnaround time will increase. I cherish every moment with my children and don't want to spend all their awake time at the sewing machine. :) Currently, I am able to turn around an order in about 1 week. Once school starts on September 6th, my "wait time" will be 2-3 weeks. If you are thinking Holiday gifts, the earlier you order, the better. Things will once again get very busy in November!

Once again, it is truly an honor to sew for you!

School's out for the summer ...

 ... and I've been busy sewing! My mind seems to always be spinning with new ideas. I'm having a ball putting fabrics together and creating beautiful pieces. Please stay tuned as I'm planning an open house sometime in late July/ early August to get ready for the Fall and Holiday season. I'll have new designs, new fabrics and ready made garments available. Pictures coming soon!

Enjoy the beautiful weather!
