Our Story
Family is everything to owners and sisters-in-law, Judy Tabuena and Laura Bull. A love for fashion and gifts that make people smile is a close second! Opening a boutique in 2008 in the Clear Lake area of Houston was an ideal way to enjoy precious time with their families, as well as sharing their love for people and fashion! They strive to find the latest trends and companies that share a passion for giving back and the most unique gifts for your loved ones. Adelaide's has become a local favorite and they hope you will share their dream with your family and friends!
Both ladies share their lives with their high school sweethearts and kids! Judy has been married for 40 years to Bob and together they have 5 grown children and 3 daughters in law. Her first grand baby is due Sept 2024! Judy has a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from the University of Houston and she taught 5th grade in Pasadena ISD before deciding to stay home to work as a stay-at-home mom to twins, Nathan & Travis, Steven, Trevor and Grace. After 13 years, Judy got her Texas Real Estate license and sold residential real estate in the Pasadena/Deer Park area until 2008. At that time, she approached her sister-in-law, Laura, about the possibility of opening a boutique together. Working together to research brands and store layouts, Adelaide's was born! Since then, the store has grown from 1,500 square feet and 2 employees to 4,300 square feet and 10 employees. In October 2015, a second 3,600 square foot location was opened in League City/Friendswood housing all your favorite brands and employing another 6 associates.
Laura, and her husband, David, are parents to Leah and Cara and have been married for 23 years. Laura holds a Bachelor's of Interdisciplinary Studies from Texas A&M University and a Master's in Educational Administration from the University of Houston/Clear Lake. She taught Elementary School for Pasadena ISD for 7 years before opening Adelaide's with Judy in 2008. Life is busy with 2 active girls! Leah is in the 9th grade and loves dancing with the Starsteppers in Friendswood. Cara is in 6th grade and enjoys competitive dance as well.
