Annie Moss did not start out trying to create a business. She began making jewelry with Scripture and encouraging messages at her kitchen table in 2014 to raise money for a missions trip. When women in the community continued asking Moss where they could find her jewelry, she recognized the desire for products that were meaningful, encouraging and offered hope.
The idea grew to meet the needs of those around her, eventually becoming The Vintage Sparrow. From a kitchen table to becoming a nationally recognized brand featured on QVC, Annie Moss retains the same heart for her customers.
Moss says, “While the reach has grown, the mission has never changed — to encourage women and point them toward the hope found in Christ.”
To Moss, wearing pieces of encouragement can center anyone during moments they need those reminders most.
She says, “There's something powerful about wearing a reminder of Scripture or an encouraging word throughout the day. Whether someone glances down at a bracelet during a difficult meeting or puts on a t-shirt before heading out the door, those small reminders can quietly point their hearts back to God's promises. It's an everyday way to carry truth with you wherever life takes you.”
While The Vintage Sparrow has taken flight throughout the nation, Moss’s heart holds a special place for the community that built her. She says, “This community believed in The Vintage Sparrow long before anyone else did. From our very first wholesale account on the Gallatin Square to the relationships we've built over the years, Gallatin will always be part of our story. No matter how much we grow, it's important to me that we continue investing in the women, families, and community that helped shape who we are.”
For Moss, the growth has been nothing short of miraculous.
She says, “It's been a journey that only God could have written.”
