Like many young children brought up on books of fantasy and lore, I often dreamed of discovering in far flung places the booty of pirates in caves and sunken ships - chests spilling over with rich, glowing rubies, diamonds and emeralds - gleaming earrings and burnished necklaces - creamy ropes and ropes of pearls. My dreams came true the day I walked into the pearl markets in Manila, and that is the day The Purl Gurl was born! I hope you love these treasures as much as I've loved making them for you - add them to the bounty of your own jewelry chest!
