For Jessica Fairbrother, creator of Sacred Heart Antiques, each piece is special. “I look for things with meaning, things that touch my heart, things that stop me in my tracks. I have to fall a little bit in love with it,” Jessica says. “I never know for whom I’m buying it, but my things always seem to find where they are meant to be.”
Jessica shares with us a sampling of items you can find exclusively at Market Hill at Sacred Heart Antiques.
