About Vagabond RUTH
Vagabond Ruth was born from a desire make beautiful things and make things beautiful.
When expecting my little girl I struggled to find decorations for the bedroom she would share with her big brother that I felt embodied the freedom and whimsy I hoped for my daughter. The pink fluffy things I found in stores just did not feel like “her”
Vagabond Ruth was born from a desire make beautiful things and make things beautiful.
When expecting my little girl I struggled to find decorations for the bedroom she would share with her big brother that I felt embodied the freedom and whimsy I hoped for my daughter. The pink fluffy things I found in stores just did not feel like “her” to me. I searched for items that were unique, beautiful, and functional and the rest I made. While sewing together wild coral and turquoise fabrics with a vintage pillowcase embroidered with mustard flowers, I knew I was creating for only my Corinne.
This is the same mindset I bring to my work with Vagabond Ruth. My reverence for individuality and uniqueness is present in everything I do.
Vagabond RUTH
I am Niñon. I am Vagabond Ruth.
I am an artist, maker, creative, and mother to many beings with freckles, feathers and fur.
Should you need me I can be found barefoot, planting succulents in the ground, making dinner for whomever I can round up, or zenning out painting and listening to music a little too loudly.
I have paint on my hands, leaves in my hair, and stains on my clothes from whatever I currently have cooking on the stove.
My passion and my magic is creating little places and pieces of beauty.
Who is Vagabond?
Vagabond is me. And my children, whose creativity and imaginations delight me daily. I grew up internationally and am inspired by travel, adventures big and small, literature, art, music, people, and ideas.
Who is Ruth?
Ruth is my lovely grandmother. She was a maker, creator, and a can-do kind of person who, as I learned later on in life, also happened to be wonderfully fun to chat with on the phone. My Gram is the spirit of togetherness that envelops and inspires Vagabond Ruth.
