The above photo features Elizabeth Leggett, selling at the Corner Market at Elam and Walker Avenue on Saturday. Elizabeth, a Lindley Park local, sets up most weeks selling her handmade, birchwood earrings.  The colors are lovely and some styles are actually quite large, but they are so lightweight, it is as if you are not even wearing earrings.* Her company is called Julika Pear, inspired by Bart Simpson’s prank calls (“Julika” as in “would you like a…”). Recently, Elizabeth has added bees-waxed cloth wraps to her booth. They are a sustainable alternative to plastic bags for packing lunches and storing food.

When she isn’t parenting and being artistic and creative, Elizabeth is busy teaching English to English language learners at Durham Tech. Somehow, we’re betting she incorporates a lot of creativity into her English lessons. Elizabeth has a degree from UNCG, where she studied English and Russian.

While Greensboro Daily Photo doesn’t quite have the readership of Humans of New York, which exceeds four million fans, Greensboro does have some pretty fabulous humans and Elizabeth is one of them!

* Elizabeth’s earrings are also available at Design Archives downtown on Elm Street and, for our out of town readers, on Etsy.
