Early in 2004, while administering a music theory test to her students, Melissa Stock, a college professor of music in Oregon, dreamed up what was to become the very first Pearlie Girlie design. That initial sketch, which she created upon an old sheet of music paper, has grown into a collection of classy greeting cards and stationery, with a little something for everyone.

In 2011, Pearlie Girlie evolved into the Sandal & Stiletto brand, featuring two divisions of cards:

• Sandal - inspirational, faith-based cards that feature scriptures of hope and encouragement.
• Stiletto - stylish, sassy, and feminine cards with the original Pearlie Girlie designs.

The Sandal & Stiletto collection of whimsical note card contains a style that is perfect for just about every occasion. The front of each card provides ample space to compose your own greeting. As well, by special order, you can request that any of our designs, colorings, and captions be personalized to your individual needs and tastes.

Originally from Southern California, Melissa spent the past ten years in Eugene, Oregon as an adjunct Professor and Music Director at Northwest Christian University.

In her spare time, Melissa was an advocate for victims of human trafficking, participated for 4 years in the Junior League of Eugene, and directed a yearly inspirational concert for American Cancer Society's Relay for Life, averaging 120 volunteer singers. If that wasn't all, she owned the Eugene based Sassy Cupcake. 

She, and her husband Matthew, moved to Cambodia in February of 2013 after working there short term the two previous years. They are currently serving as General Managers of the Siem Reap location for BloomAsia.
