I am excited to highlight the exuberant jewelry by Karryn Mahle -- from her own line called "Part of the Heart." The first time I saw “Part of the Heart” jewelry in another charming Michigan boutique, I was fascinated. The jewelry was striking and it was so lovingly packaged and presented. We are delighted to add “Part of the Heart” jewelry to Just So!'s collection of Michigan artists. Read on for Karryn's deeply moving personal story of inspiration:
"A moment lasts forever when you are able to do what you love. This I know to be true for my life has been enriched in ways I never could have imagined since I began “Part of the Heart.”
While working in Radiation Oncology, I met incredible people who were bravely fighting, surviving & overcoming an unsolicited disease. The patients' courage touched me to my core and I embarked on a journey of self. I began creating wearable art in 1995. My art is created with the finest baubles from all over the world. I now have over 25 lines of jewelry! My passion is unending and my desire to create is ALWAYS present! What an amazing turn of events that the patients who inspired me to start one journey have now helped me find vigor for another. I was diagnosed with cancer in August '01. Talk about coming full circle! I am forever changed. Don't wait for a diagnosis to open your eye to the beauty of each moment. Cherish those close to you. Allow your chest to breathe in life. Embrace & Delight in the now! DEVOUR LIFE! ... Karryn"
Wow. Celebrate the Day, indeed.
Welcome Karryn, welcome “Part of the Heart.” We're proud you hail from Michigan and you are truly gifts!

I met Karryn through another gallery environment and was immediately intrigued by her vivacious personality. We have become close friends since then and she is still the same caring and dynamic person I met years ago. Not only is she a talented individual, but she puts others before herself. Even though she's been through many struggles with health, she continues to stand strong, hold her head up high and encourage others to do the same. My life has been truly touched by her.
Lovingly, Susan
