Twenty years of friendship and a shared passion for style, design, travel, and community – brought us to Rust in The Barlow.
We first met on the very first day of Kindergarten, as our eldest daughters began school together. From that moment, a fast friendship was formed. Over the years, we’ve watched our girls grow into strong, beautiful, and independent women, full of heart and ambition.
In that same time, we’ve each carved out our own professional paths—Tishia in accounting, and Hayley in construction—running successful businesses with mutual support and constant encouragement. Through it all, we often dreamed of starting something together.
That dream found its spark after a casual round of golf earlier this summer. We found ourselves once again lamenting the lack of stylish golf attire—an issue we’d noticed even during a trip to Scotland, where the iconic St. Andrews offered surprisingly limited options. Half-joking, we said, “We should open a store that does this better.” As fate would have it, Tishia had just come across the listing for Rust. Within minutes, we knew this could be the opportunity we had always imagined.
When we met Alice, the connection was instant and meaningful. It felt like a perfect fit. We fell in love not just with the boutique, but with Alice herself—her vision, her care, her legacy of the past nine years. We knew we wanted to honor what she had built and carry it forward with heart and purpose.
Our journey has already begun. We’re curating a collection of trusted and beloved brands, along with exciting new additions for home, gifts, and more—always with an eye for elegance, comfort, and authenticity.
We’re thrilled to welcome you into this next chapter with us—and we look forward to seeing you in the store.

I have been shopping at rust for several years now and love what this small local business has to offer. First, the owner, Alice, is always very kind and helpful with finding the most beautiful clothing and things that specifically fit my body type. She is always patient with me and gives me multiple options that she feels would fit me both in color and in shape. As someone that has a hard time knowing if things are flattering to my body, she is always honest in helping me find the perfect fit. I love all of the different things she personally selects for the store, and her style is gorgeous. I feel very strongly that it is so important to be shopping locally and supporting small businesses in the current retail paradigm, and I absolutely recommend this boutique. I will certainly continue to support the vision at Rust and to recommend to my friends and family.![]()

Rust absolutely slaps! Bought some funky digs for my red hot momma’s birthday. Not only did she love what I got her but she went back to the store and bought like 10 more items. Owner Alice rocks - so friendly, took the time to listen and look at pics to help me pick out the perfect gift 🙌🙌![]()
