Perennial Peaces – “Each of Us is a Flower, Growing in God’s Garden”

Crafted to reflect both your inner and outer beauty, Perennial Peaces reflects the inspiration of nature, faith and guiding others to feel their worth – all deeply personal to Founder and Designer Sheridan Watkins.

That authentic inspiration, blended with her love for handcrafted artistry, is a winning combination that Sheridan launched in 2022, after changing her previous small business name (Shairpins) to Perennial Peaces. And yes, there is meaning behind the signature name!

“Perennial represents plants and resilience, symbolizing strength and renewal, and I spelled ‘Peaces’ to reflect my mission of spreading peace through my jewelry,” she shares, noting that her creative process is intuitive. Perennial Peaces offers handcrafted textile jewelry for fashion and flower lovers who love to express their individuality – with what Sheridan describes as wearable art. You may also recognize her name as the writer of Forsyth Woman’s Purpose Push column, where she relies on her own divine gifts to empower women of all ages.

“With jewelry, I start with an idea and see if I can bring it to life. Originally, I began using fabric for its affordability and vibrant colors; and now, it’s a staple, showing that anything – even simple materials – can lead to success,” Sheridan explains. “Being able to repurpose fabric so its longevity is extended is the coolest thing about what I create. Most of my textile inventory is donated.”

Always with thought and intention, she loves creating jewelry and fashion accents that carry a deeper meaning and admits to getting completely immersed in each new “peace.”

“My favorite design is always the newest collection, and the newest collection I have now is the Mosaic Collection,” she adds. “One customer asked me to make a wedding hair clip using fabric from her grandmother’s shirt. It was a special and meaningful project, and we formed a great friendship through it.”

As her unique business continues to grow, Sheridan loves offering words of wisdom to budding entrepreneurs.

“You were created with purpose, and your ideas are meant to be shared! Start small – use craft shows and social media to test the market and get feedback from those who already resonate with your work, and communicate with other entrepreneurs doing similar things.”
