The EPH story began with a baby in my belly and a bow in my hands. I never set out to an entrepreneur, I just wanted to create beautiful things for my tiny love-Evie Pearl.

Fast forward 6 years, and a dream I had never realized started to materialize right in front of me. Fresh from a Type One Diabetes diagnosis for Evie, and the amusing daily life with little ones (one incident involved blue nail polish in places that can't be mentioned), I needed to channel my anxiety into positive, therapeutic energy. So, one night in 2018, I dragged out my faithful 1960's Montgomery Ward sewing machine, sat down at my dining room table, chose a charming purple scrap of fabric, and worked late into the night. Before long, I had my first "Little Bloom with Me" bow collection and an Etsy shop filled with photos of my little 6-year-old sassy model that accepted more bribes than I'm proud to admit.

In the 6 years since, that little collection evolved into a bow subscription service, website, nation-wide boutqiue wholesaling, and placement in several local stores. EPH now has a team of 3 local seamstresses, a virtual assistant and several part-time employees including, you guessed it, Mr. Evie Pearl, this business's biggest chearleader. There has been blood, sweat and SO many prayers put into this business of mine that has afforded me this beautiful life of supporting my family, creating my own schedule, & raising our 4 kids!

And that's our story. Now, we can't wait for Evie Pearl Handmade to be a part of yours!
