Goodbye. Oh, Hello!

Goodbye 2010! 

Phew. What a year this has been for Blushing Pearl! A lot of changes took place last year {1}  a BIG move from sunny California to the very wet and green Washington (we even experienced our first White Christmas!). Exploring Seattle has been fun and never a let down. {2}  a new look and a wonderful year of growth for the Blushing Pearl Studio. Not that saying goodbye to 201o is going to be easy...We left so much behind us such as bosom friends, family, and a lifetime of memories made in our native City of Angels. 2010 had its rough spots, but in the end we can see things happen for a reason and we are truly blessed to be where we are with the people that support us!

Hello 2011. 

I am not one to make resolutions for the new year, but I am welcoming the new year with a a few goals I hope to accomplish with Blushing Pearl including- the expansion of Bliss, the studio's wedding guide and line of pre-designed invitation suites, adding more ready-made paper goods to the shop, continue to work on my business skills (such as marketing and social networking), increasing options by offering flat printing services along with letterpress services without sacrificing design, experimenting with letterpress techniques, continue to expand our paper goods into brick and mortar retailers (we've got one already. Locally, too!), and setting up an online website solely for wholesale inquiries. The list can go on, and on...I think this should do for now :-)

To top off the start of a new year, the studio is expecting a "Little Pearl" making her debut  in March. With that said, there is so much to look forward to this upcoming new year! We hope you'll stick around to see what we've got up our sleeves.

Happy new year, friends!
