SPRING UPDATE
THIS IS NOT THE ANNOUNCEMENT I THOUGHT I’D BE SHARING.
I FOUND A LUMP AT THE BASE OF MY THROAT JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS. I’VE NOT BEEN FEELING WELL FOR A WHILE, SO THIS HELPED EXPLAIN WHY— BUT ONCE BIOPSIED, IT CAME BACK AS CANCEROUS. I HAVE SURGERY ON VALENTINES DAY, AND WON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS UNTIL AFTER THAT. I JUMPED INTO PLANNING THE FALL PEAR WHEN LIFE WAS STILL PRETTY CHAOTIC AND IT TOOK A LOT OUT OF ME. WE ARE TAKING THIS AS SIGN, WHILE IT FEELS SO FLAKY, TO CANCEL THE SPRING SALE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT SO FAR, IT MEANS THE WORLD.
Alexa w/ my family

Hey!
I’m Alexa, mom of 5— 3 boys, 2 girls. Our last baby, Maren, was born Nov 8th 2023. She was medically complex, and she has changed me as a mom for the better. This was the toughest year of our lives, but we came out as a stronger family unit.
I grew up near Portland, OR, and have always loved thrifting and shopping, especially with small shops. Community and working with local businesses are also near to my heart. When I had the idea for Pear, I knew I wanted to combine all of my favorite elements.
I brought the idea to my friend Josie in 2022, who’s lived here all her life, she was on board pretty much instantly. I’m so thankful for her support in getting this started, this would not have been possible without her as a founding partner.
I’ve been in a variety of industries— baby, videography, construction, retail to name a few + I’ve consulted with an array of businesses. My favorite aspect to improve or figure out, and tied all of my business forrays together, is the customer experience.
It sounds cheesy, but I want Pear to be more than just a resale event. I want it to be fun as a consigner, volunteer and shopper! They are the best part, and the reason I look forward to this event each season. They are the reason I reach out for feedback, and strive to improve each event.
Our goal is to have this event each Spring + Fall, if life allows. Thank you for your interest and support of Pear, I’m honored to even have you reading this!
Alexa Johnston | Owner of Pear Pop Up
