Meet Jamie Darling

Meet Jamie Darling, a true Southern gem and the heart behind Darling's Fine Things. Hailing from a long line of Delta dwellers, Jamie proudly embodies the rich heritage of Newport, Arkansas, where her family has deep roots as the sixth generation to call this charming town home. Her journey has taken her through several vibrant Southern cities, from the bustling streets of Little Rock to the historic charm of Washington, D.C., before returning to the embrace of her beloved hometown.

With over 35 years of retail experience, Jamie has a keen eye for quality and an unwavering commitment to her customers.

A proud alumna of Hendrix College, Jamie furthered her education by earning a B.S. in Business Administration from Arkansas State University. This academic foundation, combined with her innate sense of style, has guided her in curating a collection of exquisite pieces that reflect the charm and warmth of the South. Jamie has combed the globe, seeking out the perfect treasures, ensuring each item carries a story and a touch of elegance.

Beyond her business endeavors, Jamie is a devoted wife to farmer Scott, a loving mom to her yellow lab, Tate, and a cherished "JJ" to Bowen and Reid. Her family is her greatest joy and inspiration, and she brings that same warmth and care to every interaction at Darling's Fine Things.
