One of the most important reminders that spending time with PAGE SARGISSON has bopped me on the head with: Don’t Believe in Images! I know this, of course. Of COURSE I know this, right?
We all know that you can’t know a person just by what you see on the surface and yet, I obviously needed to learn that lesson once more as Page delivered it in spades. I will admit, I assigned ‘meaning’ to so much of what you see when you first meet Page:
- She’s a physically beautiful woman with the warmest smile and a honey-whiskey voice.
- She creates the most gorgeous sexy jewelry that is sold worldwide, worn by rock stars — just check out her press page if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
- She lives with her husband and two sons in a renovated brownstone in Brooklyn.
Too cool for school, right?
I could not be more wrong. She’s a GOOFBALL! A totally adorable, silly, goofball. Below is what Page posted on Instagram the last night of September Squam 2015 and pretty much sums up her sweet, open spirit that is all about fun, creativity and connection.
Over the past year I have gotten to hang out with Page, learn more of her story and discover that she is one of the most genuine, down-to-earth, loving people I have ever met.
I now understand why she is crazy about Squam: she loves getting her creative on in a big way and could not believe there was a place dedicated to just making stuff – morning to night – just because it is fun to make stuff
We are super lucky to have her teaching here again in September as her work takes her around the world including a recent trip to Japan. For the first time, she was able to bring her 8-year old son along with her and he got to see his mama in action and understand better what she does in the world.

Not sure what we are talking about in this chat today– but I can share with you one more observation about this remarkable woman I am so happy to have in my life: in trying to find a photo of her, I realized she is always encircled by friends and family.
This is a woman who makes connections in life, deep friendships and I find it so interesting as that love and true sentiment is what I feel when I see her jewlery.
It all comes from the heart. This is a woman who lives from her heart.
bisous, Elizabeth
