About
THE SOUL BEHIND VINTAGE PEARLS
I'm Tonya Michelle,
​
a proud US Army Veteran and the founder of Vintage Pearls. With a firm belief that every polished manner leads to unimagined accomplishments, I dedicate myself to nurturing grace, discipline, and social decorum in every young mind I encounter.
​
At Vintage Pearls, my mission is to provide comprehensive etiquette workshops and boot camps tailored for toddlers, children, and young adults. My hands-on approach and genuine passion for manners and etiquette ensure that each participant not only learns but embraces these essential life skills. Through engaging, interactive sessions, I foster an environment where conscious decisions and polished manners become second nature.
