Meaningful jewelry, accessories and t-shirts that speak life, bring joy, and ultimately spark conversations to share Jesus.

Starting a business has always been part of our everyday lives in our house. We are the Alfords. I’m Pam and I’ve been married to Jack for twenty three years. We have two beautiful, teenage daughters in Decatur, Alabama. When the girls were younger, you could find a new venture in our home any day of the week. From lemonade stands in the

driveway to making commercials with stuffed animals for a pet store, my graphic design background was often used to set up these play shops for the girls. When my oldest daughter turned sixteen and really wanted a car, we suggested that she either get a job or start a business. Well, she opted to start a business selling cookies. I helped her build a website while she made DIY baking kits and freshly baked cookies. She was successful in her venture and learned so many life lessons along the way. Around the same time, my youngest daughter was chomping at the bit to start an online store. She loves hair, makeup, and all things fashion. Her idea was to start an online boutique, so Sadie+Jane was born! We named our shop after my beautiful mom, Sadie Jane, and created it to be a bright light in this world. We love offering meaningful jewelry and t-shirts that speak life, bring joy, and ultimately spark conversations to share Jesus. Our very first shirt read “Kind Words are Like Honey” and it’s still our best seller!
