Bonjour,
La Petite Boutique de Perles is the French translation for The Little Shop of
Pearls, my new online shop.
Currently, I am working to bring French
inspired handmade items as well as other second hand accessories that have been
stored away and ready for new homes. The history of pearls is an
interesting one and in part explains why I decided to use the word pearls in
the name of my new shop.
Perles
are formed within the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk and is made up of
calcium carbonate in minute crystalline form, which has been deposited in
concentric layers. It is hard to find a perfect pearl and no one pearl has
exactly the same form, just as each item that is handmade is not the same.
There is something perfect in things that are not perfect, with each item being
unique, and surprisingly different each time it is made.
Interestingly
enough, the word pearl was borrowed from the French word perle and my love for
all things French is why I choose the name La petite boutique de perles.
