About from Dust...
I’m Suziy Maley, founder of from Dust. I started this shop to offer beautiful, long-lasting products to inspire you to do what you love with your life.

From Dust is a result of many moms (and dads!) who have poured selflessly into my life. I would not be here today without them inspiring me.
I am an optimist- the glass is always half full, there is always a silver lining, and even in the darkest tunnel I can imagine the light at the end. That being said, finding practical, high-quality, beautiful products can be trying, especially with kids who have limited “shopping patience”. After countless interrupted visits to my favorite chain craft store in search of a perfect coat rack, I was struggling to find a shelf sturdy enough to withstand the weight it would undoubtedly need to hold without sacrificing the style I loved. Finally, I decided to just take matters into my own hands. I went home fired up the only power saw I owned and went to work carefully unearthing what I needed from the materials I had on hand. And thus, from Dust was born.
Whether it’s the rough surface of raw wood, the soothing scent of new leather, or the cool feel of strong metal, there’s something about these raw materials that simply says durable. Whether you are looking for a beautiful accent for your home, a simple wallet, or just something to encourage you I know that if you find it here it will be with you for the long haul.
My goal is to provide easy access to practical products that don’t sacrifice beauty. As a mom, I know that sometimes the finer things in life are put on hold because of those we love. The teething toddler makes you say "no" to the porcelain vase you’d like to use to add some color to your living room. The old, worn out diaper bag wins out over your too small, but stylish handbag because you know you’ll need to have those wipes if you manage to get a dinner out. And goodness knows, if you don’t label that jacket when you send your kid to school you will never see it again- permanent marker it is! When you come to from Dust know that everything is designed with your busy, mom life in mind because I am a mom too. I’ve been blessed with two little ones who inspire and challenge me to create products that will make your life simpler and also more beautiful!
