You Wear My Heart

Every bead I paint carries a piece of my heart — and when I see someone wearing Sarahfide out in the world, that heart comes right back to me.

Creating, for me, starts in my heart and pours out in the form of hand-painted wood bead jewelry. I send out pieces of my heart every day in hopes that the love I pour into each small bead will shine in a big way, bringing joy to the woman who wears it.

When I meet women wearing my jewelry, it's like reconnecting with a dear friend. Every creation, every single one, holds a special place in my heart.

A few weeks ago, I met a beautiful stranger wearing Sarahfide. John and I were in a store about 30 minutes from home, shopping for shoes for our middle child. I heard my name — "Sarah?" I turned to see a warm, welcoming face with the most sincere smile. I didn't know her. Then her eyes went down to her wrists, and she raised them to show me her Sarahfide bracelets.

I'd like to say I responded like Grace Kelly, but I was more like Katharine Hepburn. I broke code, with her permission, and hugged her. We stood in the aisle talking — about jewelry, of course — and her beautiful southern name, Ella Jean. I'm horrible with names, but that's one I'll remember forever.

Her bracelets had been custom ordered for her by her daughter. So special.

If you're thinking about purchasing jewelry to keep or to gift, I would be honored if you'd consider Sarahfide. Your comments, likes, shares, purchases, and wearing my jewelry literally makes my heart smile. Let me share a piece of my heart with you.

You wear my heart. Every single bead.
