Lumpkin's Profile

Bio

Our Story:

Once upon a time a loving Papa told his two sweet little daughters many magical tales about tiny forest creatures called Lumpkins. They were miniature beings living peacefully in cozy gourd houses as part of a woodland community with breathtaking wild flowers and their fairy and animal neighbors.

The girl’s Papa never revealed to them exactly what a Lumpkin looked like. After he died it was up to the little girls to tell the stories to others. The oldest daughter told the stories to her mama and described what she imagined Lumpkins to be. In turn, her mama began a tiny business called Lumpkin inspired by these treasured family stories. Lumpkin takes great care in creating heirloom quality toys, clothing and accessories that children will love. Also in keeping with the original stories, all Lumpkin products are handmade using natural materials just as the Lumpkins do themselves.


The founder of Lumpkin, Sarah Ulrich was born and raised in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. She received her B.S. in Elementary Education from Millersville University in 2004. At an early age Sarah learned to sew and crochet from her seamstress grandmother. While pregnant with her first daughter, Sarah taught herself to knit and hasn’t stopped creating kids items ever since. Besides handwork Sarah enjoys swimming, discovering buried treasures, cooking delicious vegan meals and exploring her new city. Sarah recently relocated to Pittsburgh, PA where she is now raising her three beautiful daughters along side her partner.
