About Found & Gathered

Found & Gathered is a thoughtfully curated shop offering books, clothing, and home goods — including new items, vintage treasures, and well‑loved finds with plenty of life left in them.

We’re here for the treasure hunters, the practical shoppers, and anyone who believes beautiful things deserve more than one story.

Every item in the shop is hand‑selected for quality, character, and longevity. Whether you’re buying something brand‑new, searching for a one‑of‑a‑kind vintage piece, or giving a pre‑loved item a fresh chapter, our goal is always the same: goods that feel special, useful, and worth keeping.

What You'll Find Here

At Found & Gathered, we focus on pieces that feel good to bring home — items meant to be worn, used, displayed, or gifted with confidence.

You’ll find:

Curated new clothing with timeless style and everyday wearability
Home goods chosen for warmth, charm, and function
Books worth keeping (or gifting)
Vintage and collectible finds that add personality and story to your space

Our collection is always changing, which means many items are one‑of‑a‑kind. When something’s gone, it’s usually gone for good.

Why We Do It

We believe reusing what already exists is one of the simplest ways to shop with intention — and thoughtfully chosen new items help round out the perfect mix of practical, giftable, and hard‑to‑find pieces.

Found & Gathered was built around the idea that shopping doesn’t have to feel rushed, wasteful, or overwhelming. Instead, it can feel slow, welcoming, and rewarding — a place where you browse, discover something meaningful, and feel good about what you bring home.

Our goal is a collection that’s always interesting, thoughtfully priced, and genuinely worth your time.

Meet The Owner

Found & Gathered is owned and operated by Rhonda Carderara, a full‑time professional and passionate small business owner who built this shop from the ground up with heart, grit, and a deep appreciation for finding value in what others might overlook.

Rhonda has always been drawn to the stories behind objects — where they’ve been, what they’ve meant, and where they can go next. Found & Gathered grew from that curiosity and love of storytelling into a space where people can shop thoughtfully, discover something special, and trust what they’re buying.

From sourcing and pricing to listings, packing, and customer care, Rhonda is hands‑on in every part of the business — making sure each item meets the shop’s standards and every customer feels welcome and supported.

Community First

Found & Gathered is built on people — neighbors, consignors, collectors, and customers who appreciate a good find and a thoughtful shopping experience.

Whether you’re consigning items, browsing online, or stopping in to discover something unexpected, you’re part of what makes this feel like a community, not just a store.
