PEARLS DON’T JUST LIE ON THE BEACH. IF YOU WANT ONE, YOU MUST DIVE FOR IT.
A PEARL IS WORTHLESS AS LONG AS IT IS IN ITS SHELL.
NO GRIT, NO PEARL
THE WORLD IS THE OYSTER, YOU ARE THE PEARL.
It is funny how we are often misled as to which oyster houses a pearl – we must stop judging a soul on its vessel.
THERE ARE TREASURES IN PAIN … AN OYSTER WHO WAS NOT INJURED WILL NEVER PRODUCE PEARLS BECAUSE THE PEARL IS A HEALED WOUND.
A strand of pearls are not white. It is a warm beige color with little knots in between. So if they break you only lose one. I wish my life could be like that, knotted up so that even if something breaks the whole thing wouldn’t fall apart.
GOD CHANGES CATERPILLARS INTO BUTTERFLIES, SAND INTO PEARLS AND COAL INTO DIAMONDS USING TIME AND PRESSURE. IMAGINE WHAT HE CAN DO FOR YOU.
In 1958 Shasta added the iconic wings to the rear of the trailer. They were added to symbolize freedom and flight.
YOU ARE A PEARL, YOU’RE UNIQUE, SPECIAL AND PRECIOUS, YOU’RE PERFECT.
If a diver were to think like the jaws of a shark, he would never lay hands on a precious pearl.
Life is made up of a few moments all strung together like pearls. Each moment is a pearl and it is up to us to pick the ones with the highest luster.
As a pearl is formed and its layers grow, a rich iridescence begins to glow. The oyster has taken what was at first an irritation and intrusion and used it to enrich its value. How can you coat or frame the changes in your life to harvest beauty, brilliance and wisdom?
“A poor man wants the oyster; a rich man wants the pearl.” Elvis Presley
Life is like a precious pearl.
Our heart is very much like the sea, it has its storms, it has its tides and in its depths it has its pearls too.
THE WORLD IS YOUR OYSTER AND IT IS UP TO YOU TO FIND THE PEARLS.
For memory, we use our imagination. We take a few strands of real time and carry them with us. Then like an oyster, we create a pearl around them.
SAND IRRITATES THE OYSTER AND THE OYSTER RESPONDS BY MAKING A PEARL.
“And the twelve gates were twelve pearls; every gate was of one pearl: and the street of the city was pure gold, as if it were transparent glass.” Rev. 21:21

No, those are brooches that are inside Pearl. But, that is a very good question. Her bouquet was such a fun and bonding project and this is a collection and a project that I WAS doing for several years just for Pearl. Her inside is nothing like you think, you will definitely be invited to the next “Pearls Girls” get together and it will all make since. Thank you for all your sweet comments you are the best.
Pearl is lovely, but my favorite part was watching the transformation occur through the progressive photos. One question – I didn’t see any dates. Is that part of Jaden’s wedding bouquet laid out on those fabric squares?
So happy to have a chance to get to meet your family and friends.
Amazing work! Love it so much!
PEARL …what a special thing you are. I say thing because I don’t really know what to call you since you are many things…..someone’s dream….
a treasure…..an inspiration…..an escape…..
a glamorous lady….a jewelry box…..a girl’s
Gathering place…..and so much more. I love you.
What an unexpected friend!! I went to Janice’s house to buy some Scrapbooking items. Little did I know that this would create a very special friendship. I could not believe her home home, or her “pearl”. This should be in a magazine or featured on television. It is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever seen. Not only that, but this is the sweetest most giving lady I have ever met. Little did I know that buying a few scrapbook items would result in a friendship that would last forever
How did you get the couch inside?
