My creations come from a happy place of inspiration and meditation. *Rubble* started out of desperation. One day a few years ago, sobbing over a mini existential breakdown, I suddenly thought the only way I’d be able to escape my life would be to sell everything I own and start over.

The idea came to me that I could open a pop-up storefront selling home decor with the starting inventory being my own much cherished belongings. It gave me a little hope to think that I could grown from this, and not mind losing things that are important to me, if I could turn the whole thing over into a new business and better life as a Merchant of Beautiful Things. I already felt like I was sitting in the Rubble of the life I’d always anticipated, so what better name for my store?

Well, the thought of giving up the surroundings I'd curated over decades still feels traumatizing, so I don’t yet have it in me to sacrifice my surroundings and the home environment I worked hard for.... but the name stuck. :) Rubble here on Etsy consists of items created from the ashes of the last few years of my life, and the creative spark that I started manifesting in 2015.

I hope you like my creations.
