Thrifting and Thriving's Roots

Turning My Second Chapter into Something Beautiful

Hey there!   I'm Jennifer Tjersland, the one-woman show behind Thrifted and Thriving.

For the first twenty years of my adult life, I climbed the corporate ladder. Great benefits, sure (hello, health insurance!), but something felt...off. All that constant hustling and wasteful consumerism just didn't sit right with me.

Then, in 2023, the work-life balance went way out of whack. I was putting in crazy hours, and for what?  One day, I had a wake-up call: if things kept going this way, would I look back on my life with any satisfaction? Nope. Not a chance.

So, I did what any brave soul would do: I said "enough is enough!" It was time to chase something I loved, something that fueled my creativity and let me build something truly special.

Enter Thrifted and Thriving! Crafting and gardening have always been my happy place.  I especially get a kick out of transforming cast-off treasures into beautiful things that bring joy to others. 

This is my second chapter, and I'm so excited to share it with you!  Come along with me (and my adorable coworkers) as I breathe new life into pre-loved finds and cultivate a little bit of magic in my garden.
