Hello all! 

Ruby Threads has had such an amazing switch over to Etsy and I want to just thank you all for the support and encouragement. I have had so much help with all things related to starting up this lil' shop and I seriously can't thank my friends enough. From all the photo lessons, modeling,positive feelings, and love, I could not be doing this without you. 

So, as some of you know, I (Sheena), play in an indie rock band called 'Lemuria' and we will start our next tour at the end of November. For now, I will be traveling down to Texas to work a festival in Austin, and then we begin our tour shortly after that. Ruby Threads will be taking a little break from uploading new items, but the online shop will remain open. My good friend will be shipping orders out regularly. Please stay with us! I will be posting regularly on our Instagram page and hopefully be making some pitstops at local vintage stores along the way. Our tour is cross country, so If you have any suggestions of cute vintage shops to check out, PLEASE let me know! Also, any food suggestions are always welcome! Vegan/Vegetarian is a double bonus! 

Again, Thanks so much for all of the support and I am looking forward to keeping in touch with every single one of you! <3

Hello!

Y'all! Im so happy to be starting this lil' shop up, and am SO surprised at the response that it has received over the past few weeks. There are so many people I owe many thanks to, and I want to make sure I give them the credit they deserve. First off, to my amazing fiancé, Chris Moore, for everything always. And to my beautiful models and motivational supporters, Hannah Shaw, Nicole McCann, and Kristen Eliason, I couldn't do this shop without you, and I am so grateful for you all. 

Ill use this as a blog to update with exciting new items, and also to share a bit about the shop and my personal life. Feel free to follow, share, and comment. 

Ill start off with an introduction on myself, and what made me want to start this whole thing up! Here it goes:

I live in Washington, D.C. currently with my fiancé, our cat, and 4 other roommates. I love it here, despite its price, but I've really grown to fall in love with this city and many of the people in it. Museums are free, the gardens and parks are beautiful, and to be real, the Pupusas, Ethiopian, and vegan soul food is enough of a reason to never leave this city, EVER.   

I play in an indie punk band called, Lemuria. We tour about 5 months out of the year. Sometimes I feel like I have a very split life. One side is touring, and never getting enough sleep. Seeing great and marvelous things in our world, and missing my bed, friends, and fiancé constantly. The other side is what I do when Im at home, which is either baking and cake decorating, or NOW, questing for vintage treasures. Watching too much netflix and going to bed early. The lifestyles are very different from each other, and I guess I'm just starting to get used to each of them. I love both sides, and am thankful I have these opportunities while I have them. 

So yeah, thats all for now, but make sure to stay tuned! Ill be posting updates from the shop and maybe even while Im on tour, Ill give a few updates on life and beautiful places.
