Our Story

The dream of Aurora and Ruby had been on my mind for close to 10 years before making the jump. After a handful of doors closed, I realized it was a sign to open my own door. I jumped head first and within a week the name was created, LLC was filed, vendor license was purchased, and hope was created! Aurora & Ruby began in the summer of 2023 in Westerville, Ohio. 

I wanted to provide an outlet to my customers, a place to recharge, a place that made others feel beautiful and worthy. I spent years trying to find my own outlets. I soon realized that even the smallest of things made the biggest of the difference. From buying a new candle to burn when winding down that night, to a new outfit to wear to work the next day, I began to find joy in them. I realized that this is exactly what I wanted to be able to provide for others. I wanted to create way more than just a boutique, I wanted to create joy and hope. 

Originally, I had the name Aurora saved in my phone because I loved it for my future daughter. One day, I realized it had been right in front of me for years. I wanted to use Aurora in the name of my boutique. Once I did more research and realized the history of the name & meaning, I was sold! While doing research on Aurora, along came Ruby. The combinations of names are perfect for my ultimate goal of the boutique. Both names are complex and have a huge history behind them. Listed below is a brief description of both but I do encourage everyone to continue to deep dive into their histories themselves
