We’ve mentioned that a huge announcement is coming a couple of times now (we couldn’t help it because we’re so excited!) . . .

 It’s here!

Announcing our First Communion Portrait Drawing!

We plan on selecting 2 winners - a boy and a girl - from this drawing.  Their families will win a GORGEOUS - HAND PAINTED - PORTRAIT OF THAT CHILD.

No sitting time or traveling necessary - this AMAZING ARTIST works from photographs.

See all the info here:  Communion Portrait Drawing

• What’s the catch?  NONE!
• What do you have to do?  Share your photos (videos too!) on line and then just tell us about it!
• Does the outfit have to be purchased from us?  Yes, at least something the child is wearing in the photo has to have been purchased from us (that includes headpieces, gloves, shoes if you can see them . . . ).
• Did you have to purchase it this year?  No!  It could have been purchased any time since we opened in 1993!
• How?  Right here!

Enter as often as you’d like!

We give you plenty of time to get photos and/or video from First Communions this Spring, too.

We ask you to tell a little story with the posting.  It can be short or long - your choice!

Enter - EARLY & OFTEN!

There is NO limit to the # of times you can enter!  Just keep it fresh by using a new photo, a different story, etc.

 WISHING YOU AND YOURS A TRULY BLESSED EASTER

We’re preparing a HUGE announcement coming in the next day or two . . . .

. . . . how YOU can enter a drawing to win a beautiful, hand-painted portrait of your child (or grandchild or godchild)!

Please keep watching!  Feel free to ask any questions too!

There’s absolutely no doubt about it - dress #ALG-DR1141 is a FAVORITE this year for First Communion dresses!

And it’s easy to see why . . . . It is not the “typical” dress in any way, and yet it has features that make it very special.

The simple a-line silhouette is VERY flattering on all figure types.  The raised bodice too. The square neckline sets it apart, and the beautiful embroidery trim is just the right detail.

What’s more - it comes with a matching jacket.  So whether you need a dress with sleeves for her First Communion or not — this dress can meet your needs in a lovely way.

And — at a GREAT price!

Did we mention that it is also made in the USA????  And it’s because of that - we can still offer it.  Why?  Because they’re scurring to cut many more than originally planned to meet the demand.

A great dress  - from a great company - at a great price - made right here in the USA.

Definitely a top pick!

Did you know that we offer shoes?

And did you know that your shoes can be dyed to just about any color in the rainbow?  An EXTENSIVE color chart is shown with the dyeable shoes.

Or, if you allow enough time, you can have your dress arrive here and then have us select the closest color match for your shoes too.

And, of course, we have the clear and rainbow shoes too - flat shoes, tall shoes, girls’ shoes, women’s shoes . . . . we have wonderful shoes for everybody!  And white ones to go with absolutely everything.

Yes, we have boys’ shoes too for his suit or tuxedo!

Why no news?

Simply - because I (the writer) have been off sick.  One of those things going around that won’t go away. 

I just thought I’d drop a note to let you know that.

On February 14 we announced a whole new dress line has arrived - and you’ve shown us you love it from Day 1!

 But we forgot to mention something REALLY important . . . .

. . . . this line is MADE IN THE USA!

Yes, the Angels Collection is made in the USA (except for one gorgeous style we haven’t added to our store yet).

Thought you would love to know!

You have probably noticed that we haven’t been posting as much news here lately.  Why is that?

Actually, it’s because there’s SO MUCH news about to happen that we’re swamped.  We actually haven’t had time to stop, take a breath and talk about it!

Here are some sneak peeks:

1. Would you like a custom painted portrait of your child?  Would you like it FREE?  It could happen!  Stay tuned and watch our newsletter for the announcement (if you don’t subscribe - better get on the list right away at http://www.theperfectpear.com/newsletter.html

3. Do you have a portrait or video of your child that’s absolutely adorable?  Would you like to win something FABULOUS just for letting us see it?
