“I think being a creative person and being an entrepreneur, there's always this leap you have to make,” says Pearcy of coming to this decision, one that surprised a lot of her customers. Holiday shopping procrastinators this is your warning: once they run out, there will be no more. The goal is to keep the physical shop open through most of December, but Pearcy says if they have a run on items they might close earlier than that since it’s the extent of their inventory. To make sure the production team can fill all orders before year-end, they’re rolling out “Last Chance” orders every few days in a special online collection and once those are done, they’re done. And I think at the heart of my creative vision is a love for pattern and print and color and, and just fabric.”Īs Pearcy closes up shop (literally) on one chapter and prepares for another, rabid Queen Bee fans have one last chance to get their hands on their beloved bags. I love doing the screen-printing onto the fabrics. That's just so fun for me. "People still want it, still respond to it and it's this beloved brand, but I'm ready to move on and put my focus on what I'm really excited about. At this point in my life, I wanted to focus on the aspects of my business that I'm truly inspired about," says Pearcy. “I started doing my Rebecca Pearcy line years ago, but it was always sort of the little sister to Queen Bee who was the dominant force. More specifically her eponymous line of fun screen-printed items like printed cat pillows, winding serpent blouses, and yes, even printed canvas totes. But after two and a half decades, exactly half of Pearcy’s life, and thousands upon thousands of bags, she’s ready to focus on a new chapter.
QUEEN BEE GAME FULL
From the first days in her Produce Row studios to the East Burnside location, and then for the past 10 years on North Williams Avenue in both their manufacturing space and a retail shop chock full of bags, tea towels, and kitchen goods, Queen Bee reigned. My best performance was I was one word short of Queen Bee, and I never would have come up with that last word.Īt the end of day, that is how the New York Times Spelling Bee Works.And we embraced her. It usually involved finding really archaic and low-frequency words. This is incredibly difficult to do, for the reasons I mentioned. If you get every word, you earn the title of Queen Bee. You can usually get to Solid or Nice without too much extra effort. The jump from Amazing to Genius is by far the hardest to make.
On the road to becoming a Spelling Bee Genius, players work their way through several levels: Beginner, Good Start, Moving Up, Good, Solid, Nice, Great, and Amazing. Words that are primarily not English words seem to also be excluded. In addition, offensive words tend to not be included. I’ve found words that are only proper nouns, tend to not be included. The most disturbing is when you type something in, and you swear up and down it is not a word. Some of them are how you spell out different sounds. Some words are lesser-known variations of words you may already know. If a player users all seven letters to form a word, then that word is known as a Pangram and you will get an extra seven points for finding that word. So a seven-letter word earns you seven points. Players earn one point for finding a four-letter word, and one point per letter for words with five letters or more. You can use any of the letters as often as you like in the word. The only requirement in making words is you must use the center letter in the word. You earn points by making words only with the seven letters presented. The number of points changes each day and can vary wildly, from low 50s to high 200s. The point of the New York Times spelling bee is to collect enough points to earn the title of Genius for the day. Seven simple letters can cause so much grief.
