On May 1, 1980, Pamela and Samir Chehade purchased the current building to operate Chehade Imports
   International, a wholesale jewelry business.  The back entrance of the building was used as a pizza and 
   sandwich establishment called Pizza Alley.  In 1986, Pamela became sole owner and started a joint venture
   called Marie's Teeter Toddlers, a retail children's clothing store.  One half of the store was used as the
   children's store, the other half was used as a retail jewelry store.

   Currently the building is owned and operated by Pamela Chehade as Pamela's Fine Jewelry, a retail
   jewelry store with on premise design and repair shop.  Along with that, Pamela operates Dream Day
   Essentials, a business that focuses on wedding planning and tuxedo rentals.

   meet you!

   business and can still be found at the store helping out from time to time.  Her daughter has been one of
   the best assets in keeping Pamela's growing with fresh new ideas and the latest fashion jewelry pieces. 

   Pamela started in the wedding business with Dream Day Essentials when the local men's store, Hottmann's 
   Clothing store, closed.  It has been an amazing addition to Pamela's Fine Jewelry as Pamela enjoys
   helping to plan a wedding just as much as she loves designing and making a new piece of jewelry. 
   Pamela has expanded the service to renting and altering tuxedos, wedding invitations, stationary, attendant
   gifts, and design jewelry for the wedding party.

   Pamela is also a big believer in giving back to the community that she loves and lives in.  She has been a

   positions to help keep Spring Green businesses vital.  Pamela is also the first female member of the
   Spring Green Lions Club and works with Sister City Student Exchange Program with Rivas, Nicaragua.  This
   way she gets a chance to use her Spanish and help both communities.  She has the best customers a
   business owner could want!  Being in Spring Green is a joy.  Providing her customers with the best she can
   offer today and in the future, will always be her goal.
