Ruffles and Rust is located in the heart of the Central Valley of California. Born into a large family of antique collectors/dealers I learned to love and appreciate the uniqueness, age, quality and beauty of these vintage treasures at a young age. When I hold a vintage piece in my hands I long to know the story of its journey as it traveled through time carrying with it all of its unspoken memories. It is my hope that the pieces you find in my shop will warm your heart as they have mine, and that they may find a special place in your home.
In addition to collecting vintage treasures I am also an artist and an art collector.
When purchasing a piece of art I will always try to learn its story and any information about the artist. All that I learn will be passed onto you, the buyer. As the timeless saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder”.
