Hi, I’m Jey. This is Found & Faded.

This is all an experiment.

Found & Faded started as a way to channel my latest special interest into something productive. I try to avoid the urge to monetize all of my hobbies, but I needed to be realistic that my ventures produce a lot of output: clothes! collectibles! crafts! I’m not interested in making only for myself, but so others can enjoy and be inspired.

I’ve lived in Massachusetts for nearly 7 years and will also always call North Dakota home. Along with creativity,  community involvement is also central to my core purpose. I’m proud to be a co-organizer of Yet Another Queer Pop-Up Market, with our first event scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 2, 2023 at the Florence Civic Center.

When I started dabbling, getting involved in local craft shows was a little overwhelming - from high fees to scheduling conflicts to being unsure which event drew which audiences to make it all worth it! Add to that questions about tax requirements and it was easy to see how a space focused on newcomers could be helpful.

I also love plants and sourcing from estate sales, so look for little propagation friends, unique trinkets, and other curiosities at my pop-ups. Previews on Instagram!
