Hi, I'm Jamie — the heart behind Stumbled Upon! I'm a wife, mom of four, and a teacher who somehow finds time to do what I love most: shop! There's nothing quite like the thrill of stumbling upon a unique treasure or finding that perfect something that makes someone smile. That feeling is exactly what inspired this little shop of mine.
As a teacher, I have a soft spot for my "school kiddos" — and yes, I absolutely spoil them. 🍎 I'm also chasing a dream of writing a children's picture book one day, because I believe in the magic of stories and the joy they bring.
Stumbled Upon was born from my love of the hunt — scouring thrift stores far and wide, and everywhere in between to find items that are too good to pass up. Whether it's a one-of-a-kind piece of home décor, a beloved toy, or a hidden gem, I handpick everything in this shop with care and excitement.
A Little More About My Thrifting Adventures
My favorite thrift stores are the mom and pop shops — there's something so special about those hidden gems! I do visit the occasional Goodwill and Peddler Malls too, and I'm looking forward to adventuring out to yard sales this summer. 🌱
I'm an introvert at heart, but thrifting has a magical way of getting me out and talking to others about the "Treasures." My favorite picks when I'm out thrifting are books and shoes — and I absolutely love the surprise of finding something brand new or with character in great condition. That's the magic of the hunt!
My hope is that something here finds its way to you and brings a little joy to your day — just like it did for me when I found it. Happy shopping! 🛍️
— Jamie, your thrifting forager
