2017 - A Grand Opening

2017 – A GRAND OPENING
Hi Friends!  This is going to be an amazing year; can you feel it?!  We are having the time of our lives building this business.  We just discussed yesterday that we certainly do not have it made nor do we know it all but rather we are enjoying our own growth.  Actually we are just beginning on our way down this new path and we have a lot to learn ourselves. 

Our mindset is:  what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?  Our goal is to help as many folks as we can to make their homes and families a top priority.  We believe that we are doing just that with bringing families back around the dinner table.
 

What are your goals for 2017?  How will you push yourself to rise to the level of your talent?  You look back and list those things that you have accomplished so far; see?  That list is a splendid indication of what you can do!  Close your eyes and see the person you want to be.  How will you get there?  Make the list of action items that will take you to that scene.  You can do it. 



Yesterday we made a commercial!!!
Oh my word, we did.  We really did.  Now, neither of us believed that this would be the commercial of all commercials but we knew it would be okay as our very first video.  Could we just lose 15 pounds before we filmed?  Please?  We follow bloggers who seem almost like personal friends and to watch them look back and laugh at their own first videos actually gave us more confidence to push the record and publish buttons!  Belly laughs for all of our family who have watched it!  But, ya know what….we did it!  And that feels great!  Here ya go: 



New Motto:  Drink Coffee – Do the Work!

We are beyond excited to be able to partner with Boston Stoker Coffee Company and bring you what we believe is the best coffee available.  Being just a tad bit on the coffee-snobbery side it is a pleasure to work with this company.  Boston Stoker gave us the grand tour of their roasting facility and I don’t know, maybe it was the aroma of the roasting Costa Rican coffee beans but we swooned!  We purchase coffee that is roasted the very day we pick it up and are able to ship to you within hours.  That’s fresh.  Boston Stoker is mighty picky about the coffee plantations they purchase from and we could not ask for more than that.  We offer free shipping on our 12oz bags of Boston Stoker to anywhere in the continental U.S.  We end all of our cooking classes with a classic cup of Boston Stoker as well!


Cooking Classes
Just what are these cooking classes and why are we hosting them?  Well, it all started about a decade ago when the two of us would leave our husbands for an evening of wining and dining at the Dorothy Lane Market School of Cooking.  It really was a special treat just a couple of times a year until the grandson arrived.  It became hard to justify a $150 evening when “baby needs a new pair of shoes”!  So, last year we formed the bright idea of hosting our own cooking class.  Okay, so our first class was a little like an episode of “I Love Lucy” but it was so much fun!  Our classes consist of recipes that are easy to duplicate at home (never going to serve braised fennel…what is braised fennel anyway?!).  Each course is served with appropriately paired wines and dessert is served with Boston Stoker coffee.  Cost is $25 per guest and online registration is required (purchase under Shop).  Our guests earn a “pearl punch” for each paid class and after five classes they earn a $10 coupon towards another cooking class or for shopping at www.theclassypearl.com .  You can find our schedule of February cooking classes under the Cooking Classes tab on our website! Frankly, I wouldn’t want to miss the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese class –February 9th at 6pm!

Thank You!
Thank you all for being a part of our grand opening!  Even as we begin our new adventure on a small scale and the phrase, “humble beginnings” comes to mind, we are truly grateful for each of you and the support you have shown to us.  Thank you.


A  Costly Pearl
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant seeking fine pearls,  and upon finding one pearl of great value, he went and sold all that he had and bought it.”
Matthew 13:45-46
