The pearl is my favorite jewel. It is part of the name White Purls - a play on words - White Purls for the techniques I employ in my hat-making... Hand-knitting stitches... The reverse knit stitch... The first half of my passion.
Simultaneously (I love Puns!), White Purls also stands for White Pearls, the pearl necklace... The perennial expression of the pillbox hat... The other half of my passion... Finally, the love I have for everything vintage and the years gone by.
Today's blog post is dedicated to every woman. We all need pearls in our lives. Splurge! Wield the essence of your femininity through the feel of delicate pearls. Reach for the goddess within you! Below is a collection of 6 Pearl related quotes to think about while looking at the Royal Darla Pillbox hat. You're a Queen!
Pearl, the precious prize of a Queen,
Chastely set in cherished gold,
In all the East none equalling,
No peer to her could I behold.
So round, so rare, a radiant thing,
So smooth she was, so small of mold,
Wherever I judged gems glimmering
I set her apart, her price untold...
-Excerpt from the Poem "Pearl"
