About PauleyK

I have a degree in fashion design and have a passion for being creative and working with my hands. I jumped in and started this business after I retired. PauleyK is a dream come true after all these years. Why did I choose to name the company PauleyK? I lost two siblings at a young age, the business name and logo are in their memory. Our youngest sibling was Paul, who always seemed to have a smile on his face. My father had nicknamed him “PauleyK” from the time he was a baby. We could not understand that since his middle name was Allen. Dad, why PauleyK? He explained he had affectionate memories of a teacher when he was young named Kay Pauley. Okay, now we understood and PauleyK it was! Janie was number 4 in the sibling pecking order. We just adored our beautiful little sister. We all thought she would grow up to be a veterinarian or a botanist. She loved the outdoors and nature. And mother nature was attracted to her. In our backyard, little Janie would stand still and stiffen her body and a monarch butterfly inevitably would land on her nose. My mother would look in joyful amazement. After Janie’s passing, every time my mother would see a monarch she would say, there’s Janie! The butterfly in our logo is in honor of our sister. We hope you enjoy all of our unique hand-crafted fashion accessory products. And, when you see a monarch butterfly, it is our sister Janie coming by to say hello! Read their story
