Pretty Pineapple Bead

06/01/2026

Summer market season is HERE and Pretty Pineapple Bead is coming to you. 🌈

Two events this week. Two chances to shop colorful, handcrafted jewelry in person, find your color, and even make something yourself.

Here's where to find me:

📍 Eagan Market Fest Wednesday, June 3 | 4:00pm - 8:00pm
1501 Central Parkway, Eagan, MN

📍 WestFest Saturday, June 6 | 11:30am - 2:30pm
230 Bernard St. W., West St. Paul, MN

I'll have a full selection of colorful pieces with me, including the Essential Color Collection. Bracelets, necklaces, earrings, all in those rich saturated colors you love.

And the DIY Bead Bar will be set up at both events. You can create your own beaded keychain or pen on the spot. It's a fun little moment just for you.

Come say hi. Try something on. Pick the color that feels like you right now.

Market season is my favorite for a reason.

There's something about setting up the booth, arranging all the color, and watching people light up when they walk over. The Big Red Barn event is the perfect way to kick things off.

If you've never shopped in person, this is what you're missing. You get to see every piece up close, try things on, mix and match, and find exactly what feels like you.

Markets are where the magic happens. It's not just about the jewelry. It's about the conversations, the connections, and watching you walk away feeling more confident and expressive.

My husband probably didn't expect "help spray paint jewelry displays" to be on the to-do list... but here we are. 😂

Summer market season is coming, which means it's time to refresh everything. Fresh paint. Clean setups. Displays that make the jewelry shine.

This is one of my favorite parts of prep because it's hands-on, grounding, and gets me excited for what's ahead. Markets are where I get to meet you face-to-face, watch you try on pieces, and see your whole vibe light up when you find the one.

It's not just about selling jewelry. It's about connection, color, and creating a space where you feel seen and welcomed.

If you've been to one of my markets, drop a 💛 below. If you haven't yet, tell me your city and I'll let you know when I'm nearby!

Yellow is the color of sunshine and possibility.

It's that instant mood lift when you need a reminder that good things are coming. The burst of optimism that helps you show up brighter. The confidence that says, "I'm here and I'm not apologizing for it."

Color psychology shows us that yellow stimulates mental activity, boosts energy, and encourages positivity. It's the happiest color on the spectrum. Bold, cheerful, and impossible to ignore.

These Essential Color Earrings were designed for the woman who wants to feel energized, optimistic, and unapologetically vibrant. Lightweight, expressive, and full of sunshine.

If you're ready to wear your happiness out loud, these are for you.

Comment YELLOW and I'll send you the link to shop.

What color matches my vibe? It's a question I ask myself constantly.

Color is more than just aesthetic. It's emotional. It's energy. The colors you're drawn to say something about who you are, how you feel, and how you want to show up in the world.

Are you bold and confident? Calm and creative? Joyful and expressive? Your color personality reveals more than you think.

I created a quick Color Personality Quiz to help you discover which shades match your vibe. It's fun, it's insightful, and you'll get personalized product recommendations based on your results.
