I want to be the first to welcome you to the new home of PYP Arts & Designs. Those who have have been the friends and customers who make PYP possible (say that fast 10 times:)) will notice a new look and feel to the site. I have decided to convert my shop from an e-commerce site to a blog. Partly to take a new and more proactive approach to marketing my products, and partly as a manner to let you see more of my personality in the site. I am certain that you will see more personality in my words and topics of conversation than you could ever tell from simply taking in the design choices, pictures or the information on the “about” page.

Like most things that we invest our passions and enthusiasm in, my journey to creating jewelry, dresses, hair accessories and so on began almost by accident. Had you asked me years ago if I thought one day I would be sewing, wielding a glue gun or obsessing over beads, I would have said, “um, not likely.” But, alas, here we are in the home of my business based on those very impulses to create. And I have to say, I LOVE it! I had no idea that the hobby I picked up based on the necessity that lack of spending money brings would become something that has grown so important to me as a forum of expression. It truly amazes me that life’s twists and turns produce the unexpected kismet that makes life magical in small but steady ways.

So, there you have it, the short story of how this site came to be. I hope you will check back regularly for new posts, products and, possibly, a random thought or two. I can’t promise genius, but I can promise some fashionable products and fun thoughts. I hope to see you back here again soon– oh, and often!
