About Ruthann
I have owned Drees in my hometown Olympia, Washington, since 1976. My favorite part of my job is helping people with quality furnishing and gifts…. Originally we focused on gifts but over the years the shop has expanded and changed to keep up with what our customers want. I have always wanted people to love and keep the things they buy at Drees for a long time. I love going to market and picking the best products I can find. I know that if I love them, Drees’ customers will too. This blog is a way for me to connect with Drees’ customers and to help you create uplifting experiences that enhance your home and life. Thanks for reading!
