Hey everyone, it’s been a while since I last posted. Recently I stumbled upon something pretty cool, and I just had to share it with you all. So, I was digging around, trying to find some interesting stories to share, when I came across this lady named Cathy Calhoun. You won’t believe what she did!
Getting Started
First off, I started by looking up who this Cathy Calhoun is. Turns out, she’s quite the entrepreneur. She owns a jewelry store called Calhoun Jewelers, which I found out is located in a renovated bank. How cool is that? It got me thinking, so I dug a bit deeper.
Diving Deeper
I found out that her store is about 30 miles west of Philadelphia. But that’s not all – her home is in a renovated bank too! This woman really loves banks, I guess. I was getting more and more intrigued. I read that she bought this bank, which was built way back in 1872, for about $52,000. And get this, it’s huge – around 5,200 square feet of living space. Can you imagine living in a place that big?

- Details: Found out she bought the bank for $52,000, and it’s about 5,200 square feet.
Finding More
As I kept searching, I came across some articles about her. One mentioned that during the slow summer days, she gets over 2,000 estate jewelry pieces ready for her annual estate sale. Now, that’s a lot of jewelry! It made me think about how busy she must be, preparing all those pieces. I also stumbled upon an article about her being inducted into the National Jeweler’s Retailer Hall of Fame in 2019. That’s a pretty big deal!
Connecting the Dots
I even found her on Facebook. I love how social media can connect people. It’s like a window into someone’s life, you know? It mentioned that Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more connected. I thought that was pretty neat.
Inspiring Story
There was another story about how she changed her life through education. She mentioned that Blackburne House was the catalyst for igniting her love for teaching. I think it’s amazing how education can have such a profound impact on someone’s life. It inspired me to think about my own education and how it has shaped me.
