"𝙂𝙪𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙙𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙩 𝙞𝙨?!? It's the 15th which means for all of my Painted Pearl watercolor calendar friends, it's time to ! This is the fun part of creating a double-sided watercolor calendar so YOU can choose which side you want to view, 𝙤𝙧 enjoy both sides by flipping it half way through the month! xoxo - C"

"A couple of weeks ago, I shared Part 1 of our play therapy journey in a blog post and it resonated with several of you who are also on this journey or about to start the journey with a little one. I've just published Part 2 which talks about how we navigated the awkward and abrupt break up with therapist no. 1 and the light at the end of the tunnel we began to see with therapist no. 2 + where we are on our jouney now with occupational thearpy. Tap the link in my profile then the ""Over On The Blog"" tab for instant access. It's a whole process and journey but for those also on this bench, I see you! xoxo - Courtney"

Mother's Day is less than a week a way which means there's still time to place an order and have it shipped (or ready for porch pick-up) as long as you order by EOD Tuesday! So for all the leading ladies in your life (mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters, nieces and basically ANY WOMAN who has been part of your village) treat them to some Spring studs or floral earrings because jewelry always fits and every woman, regardless of their role in your life, deserves a little pick-me-up!

April showers 🌦 bring May flowers! 🌷 Like these cute petite flower studs in coral, lavender and fuchsia. Shop them in the All Earrings collection on the website by tapping the link in my profile! xoxo - C

:: These 3️⃣ Things :: 𝑵𝒆𝒆𝒅𝒍𝒆𝒑𝒐𝒊𝒏𝒕 𝑬𝒅𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 🪡 Why needlepoint and why now? I'm sharing 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒆 𝟑 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈𝒔 about my current needlepoint obsession... 1️⃣ I've always admired the needlepoint look - from the textured textiles to the creative craftsmanship. Plus, ! 2️⃣ It is not a budget-friendly hobby. But the finished products are priceless. And offers a great rewards program so you can earn savings as you spend. 3️⃣ It keeps my hands busy, espcially at night when we're binge watching a show or when I'm sitting on the sidelines of a flag football practice. There's a host of needlepoint accounts to follow for inspiration but a few of my favorites include: , & .

Adios, April! It's the first day of May so for all of my calendar peeps, it's time to flip your watercolor calendar to the next month! Tell me in the comments below if you're 🍓 or 👒? xoxo - C

It's a happy fri-yay for me as I head home to see my niece perform in her Spring ballet! She lives, eats and breathes dance and she's so darn good at it! (swipe to see a profesh pic which is truly perfection!) . 📸: Anywho - I'm not a fan of "Friday introductions" and instead prefer to share These 3 Things about me, with you. So without further adieu... 1) I love to pair a good Wal-mart/Shein dress with an expensive/designer shoe. It's all about you guys! 2) Every Spring, I toss out a packet, or ✌🏻, of wildflower seeds from the Dollar Tree. It's always a surprise to see what pops up and many are perennials that come back year after year. And 3) I don't know about you but I'm already sweating about the heat that will surely grace the South this summer! 🥵 With the mild Winter and warmer Spring, Summer is going to be like standing on the front porch of Hell this year. Buckle up, buttercup, it's going to be a warm ride! xoxo - Courtney

I'm working behind the scenes to revamp my oyster ring dish packaging to make them more giftable. It's a whole process and I've been dragging my feet on it for a while but I have some fun ideas up my sleeve! In the meantime, I'm here to remind you you're 𝑠𝑖𝑚𝑝𝑙𝑦 𝑡𝘩𝑒 𝑧𝑒𝑠𝑡t!! 🍋 xoxo - Courtney

Musings from a mother: part one of our therapy journey with Anderson! I've shared here and there a little bit about our journey of helping my seven year old deal with big feelings, lots of emotions and more. Now that we're one year into the process, I finally feel like we've made great headway. We don't often talk about the hard things in life so for all the other mama's out there that feel like they're on the same bench and need a little encouragement, click the link in my profile to read the latest post over on the blog! xoxo - C

🚨Restock Alert 🚨 What sold out that you wanted?!? The debut of my pressed petals collection was wildly successful you guys! So THANK YOU from the bottom of my 💗. A lot of the collection sold out on day one and while I've been busy making pieces to fulfill wholesale orders with retail partners, I've slowly been building up my inventory for a restock! Best way to get dibs on the second release is to get on my email list. Use the link in my profile to become my inbox bff for this next re-release.

Today's the day!!! My email subscribers always get first dibs and this collection of precious pressed petals landed in their inbox bright and early this morning! Some pieces have sold out but plenty of pretty petal earrings still remain! Shop the collection here: https://thepaintedpearl.com/collections/pressed-petals-collections?page=2

𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐅𝐫𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐲! I'm not a big fan of Friday Intros for "all the new faces around here" because honestly, my Insta followers grow at the pace of molasses and idk if some of you are old, new or 🤖's. 𝐁𝐔𝐓, I 100% believe in knowing the person behind the business you choose to support. So I'm sharing 𝐓𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐞 𝟑 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬 about little ole me...

1️⃣ I sometimes listen to police scanners as background noise. It's equal parts silence and brain games trying to decode what they're saying, plus I'm 💯% that nosey person. 🚨

2️⃣ 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐞 - I got my very first speeding ticket this week. 🥴 Picture this: A frazzled mom running late to her son's therapy appointment, 90 lb. dog riding shot gun, 7 year old in the back, doing 45 in a 30. Help a sister out: do I just pay the $201 fine or show up on my court date? IDK what to do other than to drive around town on cruise control. 🚔

3️⃣ I make my boys buy the school lunch on Fridays because by then I am over packing lunches and I feel like eating square shaped pizza with orange cheese is a right of passage. 🍕

Happy Friday, friends!
xoxo - Courtney

The more I create the more excited I get! Last week I posted a teaser of some pressed petal acrylic earrings I had made and typically, when I 𝒍𝒐𝒗𝒆 something, it usually falls flat with my followers and customers.
