Ruta is a longtime local realtor with years of experience in home sales, fine apparel retail, estate sales and furniture sales. She's lived in Walworth for 42 years and the Lake Geneva area for even longer. She raised three kids and has two INSANELY ADORABLE grandchildren. Her love of nature and animals is often represented in the store's merchandise.

Her daughter, Stacey, began her career in event planning which eventually led to interior styling and decorating at which point having a store became a natural evolution. Stacey has a spunky little bischon/terrier mix named Charlie who sometimes works as greeter of The Cashmere Compass. She loves to travel, read and walk pups at the local animal shelter when she's not shopping and styling for the store.
