Ready to Ring in 2012?

Here it is again, New Year's Eve.  2011 is on its way out.  We all get to feel like we are having a fresh start with the new year.  One lucky winner gets to start her year off as the winner of our New Year's Eve basket.  Margaret Wilson called and came to pick up her basket last evening.   She has enough of Roxie's party hats and other goodies for 6 people.  Congratulations, Margaret!  With Valentine's coming in February, there will be even more contests between now and then.  Watch the blog and facebook.

We had customers coming in yesterday checking out the new arrivals in Roxie's Closet.  We had a new shipment of new, brand name clothing come in.  There are some party dresses included .  We have sizes small through 24W.  Usually only one of each i available, so don't wait.  We may have just what you are looking for.  There are some maternity jeans available too.

Better shut it off for now.  I'll be in the store today from 10-3.  Come in and see me and our selection of party hats and dresses.  Until next blog--xoxo Rose.

Let us wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday.

Last week before Christmas! And do we have a special for you!

We are opening this morning and are starting the last week before Christmas with a bang.  Not only do we have the BOGO sale on the soap by Scented Flame and a sale on Christmas themed items by Calico, now we have another great sale starting.  All Western Star Design products will be marked 25% off beginning today.  This includes Western Star's pillows, wreaths, flower arrangements, and western themed side chairs.  You won't find prices like this again for these items.  Don't miss this sale.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

On this last Sunday before Christmas, the girls of Roxie Rose want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas.  We get caught up in the retail end of gift giving sometimes, but we really enjoy seeing all of our friends (both old and new) when they come into the store.  Hopefully, we have made your time getting ready for Christmas a little more enjoyable and less stressful by offering a place you can come in and browse without crowds and noise.  Also, hope we offered you a little comic relief from time to time.  The reason for the season is not lost on us, we observe the holiday with reverance and respect, but we also enjoy this time of year.  The time with family, baking goodies, decorating the tree, seeing the excitement in the faces of children as the day for Santa to arrive gets closer.  Belief in the spirit of St. Nick helps make our season bright.  Hope Rebel Roxie Rose adds a little cheer to yours too!

Roxie has taken a name from the angel tree at Byrne's Pharmacy for several years and helped a child in our area have a merrier Christmas.  This year was no exception.  She chose an older child (as she usually does) and took unwrapped gifts down to city hall where the gifts will be readied for delivery.  Another place to go to help people in our community is C & S Market.  The food pantry, sponsored by the Eudora Baptist Church, has containers set up at the store where you can add to the collection of food that will be used for people in our own area.  You would be surprised at the number of people that do not have any extra money for a special Christmas dinner for their family.  For the ones of us that are blessed with enough food and money to be comfortable, it would be nice to help someone else right here in town.

Now, that said, come in today and get some of your Christmas Shopping done at Rebel Roxie Rose.  I will be there from Noon to 5:00 p.m.  Come by and I might surprise you with a sale or two!

Oh Santa, Baby! Have I Got a Stocking for You to Fill!

Rebel Roxie Rose is busy helping Santa supply stocking stuffers for the big kids (adults) he can't cover.  His business is taking care of kids, so we will help with the adults.  Come in and see all the great stocking stuffers we have to offer.

There are cute bags of "Reindeer Poop" and don't for get the Vixen Fixin's to help lead Rudolph and the rest of the crew to your house.  Hand designed boxed Christmas cards still available.  Cute money and gift card holders to make your Christmas merrier.  Christmas journals that make great gifts to help people get organized for the big event next year! 

For bath and body; we have bath bombs, Lost Shaker of Salt bars, and bath beads.  New shipment came today and more are on the way.  Keep your lips soft this winter with the Lippity Dew lip balm now in stock at Rebel Roxie Rose.  This balm has both beeswax and emu oil in it and comes in 20 different flavors including "Sneaky Elf" good for stuffing those stockings!  Each lip balm is $2.50, that is less than you will pay for other quality lip balms at the chain stores.  Another item we have just added several new fragrances to, is the Scented Flame handmade, handcut bath soap.  There are 44 fragrances available and are buy one, get one free (equal or less value) until Christmas.

Our holiday earrings make wonderful stocking stuffers or a little something for someone to let you know you are thinking of them.  Holiday earrings are from $2 to $3.  Come in and take a look.

That is all the time I have this morning for the blog.  I'll try to get back on here tomorrow.  The store is open until 5:00 p.m. today (Saturday) and tomorrow, Dec. 18 is the last Sunday we will be open for this season and our hours tomorrow are noon to 5:00.  As always, we will be on Monday, that is our day off.  If you need a last minute gift or have a shopping emergency you need to fill, you can always give us a call at 785-550-6429 and if we are in Eudora we will come down and meet you at the store!
Can't beat that for service . . . and with a smile.

How low will we go?

We want to be your go-to store for your gift and "treat yourself to a little something special" needs.  To do that, we are offering some great prices on our quality products right now.  Buy the rest of your Christmas or a little something for yourself or your home.  Here are some of the specials. 

Examples of soap.  More scents and colors available in store.
Scented Flame hand cut soap.  Several scents and colors are left, but hurry they are going fast!  Great gifts or we can make a gift basket for you to give that will include these great soaps.  Buy one get one for equal or lesser value.  BOGO!  This sale has been extended through Christmas.  Don't miss your chance to get and/or give hand made soap at a better than GREAT price.

Pictured hats are examples only.  Exact hat may not be available.

Only a few of Roxie's Closet hand embellished hats are left.  $5 each until they are gone.  The price won't go lower.


All the ornaments on our naughty tree are half the marked price through this Sunday.  All hand made original ornaments that you can use on the tree or as package decorations.  Great for stocking stuffers too.  Big kids need stockings! 


Roxie's Closet has all clothing on clearance for $5 each.  Come in and see what we have available.  All new, brand name clothing we purchased in a lot.  Various sizes from XS - 3X.

Come and shop with us.  We are the original store offering products made by area artisans.  Vendors are part of our cooperative and have to live no farther than 250 miles from Eudora, KS.  Don't accept any imitations.  Rebel Roxie Rose truly believes in "buy local think global".  Support and stimulate your local economy.  None of our products have been purchased from websites offering handmade products from across the nation.  We will set up a meet and greet sometime after the first of the year for our vendors to come into the store.  At this time, no one is farther than 150 miles from the store.  We have members from Kansas City spread along west to just south of Junction City, KS.  Keeping it close to home--until next blog!

IS IT TRUE? Has the Grinch Stole Christmas?

The ginger spokes figures for Rebel Roxie Rose are at it again.  They are brutally honest.  Of course, as I have said about them before, when you are made of wood, you try to avoid being tactful (and you certainly don't want to be TACKful).  HAHAHAHAHAHA!  Gina and George Gingerbread are totally inappropriate, often harsh, and can be downright nasty. 



Gina can be such a mean b****.  We have to really watch her.  We found out she disagrees with George about taking over the store.  She is bent on "TAKING OVER THE WORLD"!  I knew you couldn't trust ginger people!

I will be going in at noon to see what they are up to today.  Please come by and shop in our store.  All the sales I mentioned in the previous blog are still going on.  We added new products in the last 2 days.  Our "Stampin' Up" vendor has already sold 2 of her countdown to Christmas magnetic sheets.  Gail's Doll Clothes has added hats and scarves of all colors, types, and styles to her inventory.  Last night Scented Flame brought in a display of Lippity Dew lip balm with 20 flavor varieties.  Come in an sample it and then buy several for stocking stuffers.  $2.50 each and contains beeswax and emu oil.  Smells good, feels good, and a great product.

More on our products later.  Have to go . . . .



COME IN AND SAVE! Big Sale This Weekend.

We had a big rush this morning on our specials.  There are items left, but they are going fast.  We are open until 5:00 today.  We open from noon until 5:00 on Sunday.  Just two weeks left until Christmas.  Take advantage of our BOGO on handmade soap and our "2 fers" on jewelry.  There are 1/2 price selected items and feather pins for $1 each.  All handcrafted.

Many of our vendors are on facebook.  They are all artisans with one thing in common; making quality products they think people would enjoy owning.  Make sure to come in to our store and show these vendors your appreciation.  Look for links to our vendors coming to this blog in the near future. 

The truth of the matter is:  we love seeing people at the store.  Making affordable quality products is something else we enjoy,  Our store is not downtown, but only a block off of main.  We would love to keep our doors open, but without your patronage, we won't be able to be there to sell all of our cute Valentine products in February.  So come on in and see us.  Check out what we have in the store.  We will be adding products as time goes on. 

Right now, we are putting many of our products on sale to make room for new ones.  Come in and take advantage of the great prices.  Once Roxie Rose sells these products from her line, there will not be any exactly like it again.  That is what makes "handcrafted" unique and special. 

Hope to see you this afternoon and/or tomorrow afternoon.  We will be closed Monday to gear up for the 12 days until Christmas, beginning Tuesday.

We Need Some Christmas Money! Our Loss, Your Gain!

If you follow our blog (and many of you do, since I see we have had over 300 hits in the last month) you know we have been trying lots of things to promote our store.  This weekend, one of our most popular vendors is having a BOGO sale on their soaps.  Roxie's Closet will jump on the bandwagon with a big sale of their own.  Roxie will put her line of hats on sale for $5.00 each.  Also, the new, brand name clothing we purchase in lots will go on sale for $5.00 each piece.  The intention was to hand embellish each piece before selling it.  We really don't have time to do this, so we are selling the pieces we have in stock for $5.00 each piece,  So come in and take advantage of a BIG sale. 

Also, there are new feather earrings.  All $3.00 earrings are $3 each or 2 for 5.00.  Done miss this great sales event!!!!!

Big Pink Balls, Christmas Lights, Soap, and Signs

Just a quick word before going in to the store.  Last night Roxie and Rose went down to the store (with my husband in tow for lifting) and added new lighting to the store.  A big addition was six big, glittery, hot pink balls Roxie got up on the ladder and hung.  Come by and see our big pink balls!  Also, more Christmas lights were added and extra lamps were placed around the room. 

Received a call from our candle and soap makers.  They are running a promotion through our store.  Come in and check out their bar soap.  It is pretty and smells nice.  This Saturday and Sunday they are having a BOGO sale on the soap.  Buy one bar and get the second bar of the same or lesser value for free.  Two for one.  You say you don't use bar soap in your bath or shower?  This is great soap for your guests to use at the sink, to put in drawers and linen closets to freshen those closed up areas, or put a bar under the seat of your car to have a long lasting scent inside your auto.  Soap is for more than cleaning yourself, at least this soap is!

Gotta go!  Have lots to do today.  Need to get the sign ready to set up in the parking lot.  I am excited about getting the sign up, but my family has warned me that it is possible someone may run over it.  I want you to know, I would be crushed if that happened. 

I'll keep you apprised of the sign saga . . . .

Switching It Up

Today was a busy one.  The front window of the store got a makeover.  The big white tree is now front and center with the black arm chairs on each side.  Patty is still gazing (as well as she can without a head) out the window.  Santa now stands watching over the parking lot from his perch on one of the arm chairs.  The snowman has stayed in his original spot.  Our vintage (48 year old) artificial tree has been retired from the store for this year.  We have added two spokes gingerbread figures to our group.  George and Gina Gingerbread will be our spokesfigures until Christmas.  They will supply their own special brand of commentary on a daily basis.


I'll be there tomorrow and we will see what George and Gina have to say.  See you at the store . . .


IT MUST BE A SIGN!

Yesterday, we had to be over at Leavenworth on some business.  While we were there we made a stop at the Leavenworth Antique Mall which is downtown.  We go there whenever we are over there and time allows.  It is a great shop with 3 floors of antiques and collectibles.  I am always looking for the special donkey and cart planters that I collect.  They are not just any planters, they are signed and numbered.  Everyone is similar, but not the same and they are always signed "Italy" and a piece number with the number of pieces produced for that specific design.  They were made mostly in the late 1940's and early 50's.  They are pretty ugly, but I love to find them.  But I guess I need to go on and make my point about the title of this blog.

During our trip there, I asked the owner of the shop if anyone had brought in one of those old style sidewalk signs businesses used to set out in front of their stores to advertise their events.  We have been looking for something to set out in the parking lot or out closer to the road so people would know we were open back in our corner.  To my surprise, she said she had a frame we could probably use.  I couldn't imagine what she was talking about, and then her partner brought out this metal A frame with hinges on the top.  I was thrilled to have found something.  When we went to pay before leaving, she told us we could just have it.  I couldn't believe it.  That was so nice of her.  We need to do some work on it and get our sign put in it, but this is something like we envision:


Many of our customers were telling us they didn't know we were there or didn't know if we were open.  Several suggested a sign closer to the road, which we were in total agreement.  Then we had to go to Leavenworth and had time to go downtown.  Finding what we needed was a wonderful surprise.  Thus the title of my blog.  Finding this sidewalk sign and all the things leading up to our being there was one of those deals when everything falls into place.  I believe my family thinks I have gone a little over the edge being so pleased to have obtained a metal frame.  But you have to admit, finding something you were looking for in a place you really didn't think might have it . . . well, it must mean something.  IT MUST BE A SIGN.  (No pun intended . . . well maybe a little). 

Look for our "new" sign to be done in the next couple of days.  Be sure to pull in to the store and come in and visit when you see it.  We have more candles coming in tonight.  New scents and some favorite ones to be restocked.  See you at the store . . . .

Are You Looking For Us? Do You Even Care If You Find Us?

Hope the title got your attention.  We have had several complaints about how hard we are to find.  We have added lights to the front window, decorated the building, and set things outside the shop when we are open.  However, tucked away like we are in the corner between the empty doctor's office and the new optometrist, we understand how hard it can be to find us.

Cute and Christmasy.  Come and See What We Have Inside!


We have considered dressing up in some wild outfit and walking around down by the road with a sign, but the cold weather put that idea to rest.  One of those big balloons on the roof came to mind, but that seemed a little extreme (and probably quite costly).  I wanted to check into renting a spotlight, but the rest of the crew shot that down.  A sign on the end of the building would be nice, but I believe the rest of the world would prefer that we put our sign on our part of the building.  Again, the tucked away factor comes into play.  We are working with Fullbright Signs to get our window lettering up, but it won't be enough.  We need to let people know when we are open. 

We have decided on something simple.  A sign down by the street saying Rebel Roxie Rose is open Tues-Saturday and Sunday afternoons until Christmas.  What do you think?  Would that make it easier to find us?  Roxie and I thought of the sandwich board approach.  (It has worked at craft shows).  However, it seems undignified to some.  Anyone who knows us, knows just how dignified we are!  NOT! 

Right now, we are closed since it is Monday and our day off.  But on this day off, we need to get checks written to our vendors, clean and cook at home, make new products for the store, and made a trip to Leavenworth.  Then we will be back in the store tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. and will stay until 6:00 Tuesday through Friday.  Saturday we will show up at 10 a.m. and leave at 5:00 or so, unless someone wants us to stay open later and we will.  Sunday we will open noon to 5:00.  Come by and do some Christmas shopping with us.  We have lots of new products coming in this week. 

Scented Flame, our candle makers, are adding new scents this week.  Come in and take a free sniff of the newest candles.  They are bringing in Nutcracker and Snowballs.  Also, the ever popular Apple, Peach, Cinnamon is being restocked. 

New tutus have been added.  There will be new and different jewelry coming in also.  Looking for some cards to be brought in soon.  Don't miss coming in and seeing everything new.  Plus if the men want to come, we have chairs for them to sit while they wait.

I always have more to say, but will stop for now.  Until next blog . . . .

The Sun is Shining and Roxie Rose will be Open this Afternoon

Yesterday was an icky day.  Cold rain, low clouds, and just plain dark.  Nice if you didn't have to get out in it.  But today, the sun is back out and looks like it will climb into the 40's (remember when we were all complaining about how hot it was?).  Put on your coats and run into see me this afternoon.  The store will be open and I will look forward to seeing all of you.  We have some new things in the store, so come on by.  We are redoing our front window, too. 

Today is the Eudora Holiday Extravaganza at the high school.  I am working and the other half of Roxie Rose has a kid with a cold.  Even though we won't be able to attend, we will have our western themed tree there for the auction.  The creative side of RRR (not me) made the all the decorations for this tree, including the denim garland and designed the angel at the top of the tree.  My only contribution was the putting together the tree skirt.  I just followed the theme after being given the materials and made a skirt to go with the tree.  The tree has been on display in the store since mid November.  Since we had several western & country themed products come in, Rose thought it would be fun to made a tree themed along those lines.  Go out to the high school between 2 and 5 and see all the trees donated by several Eudora businesses.  They will be auctioned off and the proceeds will go to Midnight Farms that supports an equestrian program for children with special needs.

I will be taking the tree out right before noon.  Then I will get back and open the store.  If I am not right there, wait for me or give me a call.  The phone number is on the hours sheet on the window.  Remember, if you can't shop during our regular hours and would like to be able to come in and browse, give us a call.  We can set up a time for you and your family and friends to come in when it is convenient for you.  We are a small family run business and are extremely flexible.

Hope to see you this afternoon.

The First Big Shopping Weekend of December. Shop with Us in Eudora!

Rebel Roxie Rose and other small businesses here in Eudora are counting on the Christmas season to take us through January when the weather will slow shoppers down to a crawl.  We all need your dollars spent right here in town.  For us, this weekend and next will be a make it or break it shopping time.  We were encouraged yesterday when people came in and were talking about coming back for birthday presents and talking about coming in next year to buy things we have in the store now.  We have our fingers crossed that we can stay open and be here to supply you with choices that were not available here in Eudora just 2 months ago.  We need your dollars now to stay here year round.  Thank you to each and every one of you who have come in and purchased from us.  Please tell your friends we are here.  We are working on new products every day and evening to make sure you have plenty of choices.

Also, many people from Lawrence (especially the people living on the Eastern edge) like to come here to shop.  Yesterday a man was telling me that his family and many of his neighbors in the Prairie Park area in Lawrence like to come to Eudora to shop and also like to come to our pool in the summer.  We need to be sure these people have things to buy when they come over to see us.  It will help stimulate our economy, add jobs, and add money to our coffers.  Shop with us and other small businesses here and you are helping our town remain solvent.

We are lucky to have shops that offer some unique and unusual things in our town.  Besides us, there are businesses downtown, on 10th Street, on Church Street, and across the bridge.  Let's work together and keep everyone going.  Christmas time is the best time to start doing that very thing.

Tired of me begging for your business?  Ok, I'll give you another reason to come in this weekend.  All of the products from Western Star Design will be 10% off this weekend only.  Western Star Design is owned and operated by Connie Moll who lives between DeSoto and Gardner.  Connie is a professional florist and has brought us some beautiful wreaths, floral arrangements, and occasional chairs done in Western style design.  We have 3 Christmas wreaths left and they need a home.  Buy them this weekend and save.  Don't miss this sale!
Western Star Design Sample Products -- Christmas Wreath, Chair, and Pillow from last month's window display.

New doll clothes are being made as we speak.  Come in for clothes for the 18" dolls like American Girl Dolls, Fancy Nancy, Madame Alexander, and more.  We even have clothing to fit Cabbage Patch dolls at very reasonable prices.  Look to Roxie Rose for affordable Christmas presents. 

Don't forget your stocking stuffers for kids and adults.  We have lots of inexpensive items to fill those stockings.  Santa needs a little help, he can't fill those stockings up all by himself.

Please note:  We are Santa Approved.  We have a sign in our window saying so.  Also, an endorsement from Santa himself saying "Mrs. Claus shops at Rebel Roxie Rose".  Come and see for yourself.  We have (actually Roxie did the work) Christmas Decorations on the outside of our building.  We are very festive.  Three trees inside, all decorated with ornaments that are for sale (more affordable stocking stuffers).

Come in to Rebel Roxie Rose and enjoy our Christmas funderland.  Not exactly a wonderland, but lots of fun!  DON'T FORGET WE ARE OPEN THIS SUNDAY AND THE SUNDAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS FROM NOON UNTIL 5:00 P.M.  See you at the store!  

December 1 and the Rush is On

The calendar has turned its page to December 1.  This is it, just a little more than 3 weeks until the big day.  That one day of the year most people want to be perfect for their family.  When you go out to get those perfect gifts, remember it isn't how much you spend, it is the thought that counts. 

Wasn't that a nice sentiment?  The thing is, most of us throw caution to the wind and go way over budget.  We try to buy what they want, what we think they want, and what we want to get them.  But before you spend all of your money, come over to Eudora and shop our little store that is chock full of all kinds of handcrafted and hand-embellished items.  You knew I would have to get a plug in there somewhere for Rebel Roxie Rose. 

Seriously, you don't have to spend a fortune to get a nice gift for friends and family when you come to our store.  Watch this blog for specials coming up this weekend.  We have some wonderful Christmas items and are adding a new vendor this weekend.  She will be supplying us with some great magnet boards, garlands, stocking stuffers and more.

Don't miss our first Sunday afternoon we will be open.  We will be there from Noon to 5:00.  We want to see all of you there!  Let us know that you read this blog when you come in.  We are always interested in meeting our followers.

Rebel Roxie Rose is donating a western themed decorated Christmas tree to the Eudora Holiday Extravaganza Open House.  Every ornament was handcrafted.  Even the tree topper is a Western Angel.  The event will be held at the Eudora High School this Sunday from 2:00 to 5:00.  See all the trees at www.facebook.com/pages/Eudora-Chamber-of-Commerce/.  All proceeds from the Christmas tree auction will be donated to Midnight Farms.  Purchase a ticket at the Eudora Holiday Extravaganza Open House on December 4th from 2-5pm for a chance to win a $100.00 gift card to Wal-Mart. $1.00 per ticket, $5.00 for 6 tickets or $10.00 for 15 tickets.  There will be sleigh rides and more at the Open House, so please plan to attend.  While you are out and about come and see us at Rebel Roxie Rose (like how I got that plug in there again?)




Be sure to go out and see our tree along with all the others.  You may find one your want to buy and take home.  The Western Tree will be on display at the store through Saturday.  Hope to see you soon!

I Know People Are Talking About Us!

No, I am not paranoid!  People are talking about our store all over town.  We have people tell us they have heard good things about our store.  We have been in businesses around town and heard people talking about us.  People are reading our fliers.  Even though our families were skeptical about Midnight Madness, it turned out to be a very profitable and enjoyable experience.

We have vendors that do personalization of names (both human and child).  Their prices reflect the cost of special ordering.  Rebel Roxie Rose makes items to sell at the store.  We will do special orders, but sometimes we cannot make the special orders for the same price as the ones in the store due to material costs.  But we will do special orders and only add the amount it costs us in additional materials for the products.  So be sure to come in and see our merchandise.  Not only do you get handcrafted items that are unique, but you also receive quality and the best price we can afford to charge for our products.  But you have to come to the store to see what we have right now.  If we are successful in the store, we will be setting up an online store carrying the Rebel Roxie Rose line.  But right now we are a physical store you should visit.

Eudora is growing and there are 3 new stores that opened up around the same time this last month.  Of course, one of them was us, another was a store with fine gifts called The Filling Station, and the best sweet tooth satisfier ever, Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe.  We are one short block off of Main Street and the other 2 are downtown Eudora.  Penny Annie's is owned and operated by a family who lives right here in Eudora.  They moved their store, which was a long time tradition, from Lawrence to Eudora.  Everyone was sad to see them leave Lawrence, but we are so happy to have them here.  It is a short drive from Lawrence to Eudora.  Come in on "old 10" which is county road 442 and cross the bridge to Eudora.  Rebel Roxie Rose will be your first stop on the right hand side at 10th and Maple.  Next downtown to visit the new gift shop, the quilt store, the antique shop, and Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe.  Then for a good cup of coffee, go by Java To Go which is set up on Church Street in the C&S Market parking lot. Don't forget, for your pharmacy needs, you can drive over the K-10 bridge to Byrne's Pharmacy. They are open until 7:00 p.m. now. Still run by your hometown pharmacists.  If you are patrons of Pendleton's, situated west of Eudora, make the jog to Eudora to visit us.

We all need your support.  Without customers, we won't be able to keep our doors open.  Let's keep our little town lively.  Eudora will give you the personal touch you won't get in bigger towns.  Come and enjoy our slower pace, avoid the crowds and shop at your leisure.  Find Rebel Roxie Rose right next to the new optometrist in town, Dr. Barnhart, who is now taking appointments.

This has been an unsolicited soapbox statement from the Rebel Roxie Rose boutique.  Until next blog . . .

Changing Hours in December 2011--Holiday Hours include Sunday

Our new hours for December will be:


Rebel Roxie Rose is asking the Lawrence community to spread the word about our store.  We know there are several people that came to our store before that would like to know we are back up and running.  The thing that makes us different is the fact that we specialize in products produced within a 250 mile radius of Eudora, KS.  At this point the group farthest from us that participates in our coop is 125 miles away. 

If you are reading this and haven't been to see us, please come over.  If you can't make it during the hours we are open, let us know and we will set up a time to open the store that fits your schedule.  In the coming months, we will be setting up an online store to offer some of our products.

We are working on making Rebel Roxie Rose your stocking stuffer headquarters.  We will have a section of items all under $10.00 and many a lot less than that.  Help Santa by picking up a special something to stick in the stocking of your favorite person.

That is it for now.  Be sure to come and see us.  We look forward to meeting you!












Shopping on line can be addictive! Quick! Run to our store tommorrow and shop the physical realm.

The store is closed today.  This gives many of you a chance to take advantage of Cyber Monday.  Be sure to hold a little back so you can come into Rebel Roxie Rose to touch, see, and smell the products and get some unique and unusual Christmas gifts or something for yourself.

We were off yesterday, but spent the day putting more fixtures into the store and arranging the merchandise to make it easier to shop.  There was laundry to do at home, meals to cook, and houses to clean, but we didn't get much of that done.  Instead we were pulling out fixtures and setting up the store.  Also, we bought a new dress form.  We have named her Patty.  She is stylish in her own right.  Tall, with an ivory stand, flashy little crystal knob at the top of her body which is covered in rose pink tapestry fabric.  Patty is now standing in the window modeling some of the clothing from Roxie's Closet.  Roxie has added a jumper to her line and has all her hats displayed.  Come in and see what Roxie has to offer in clothing and accessories.
Come in and meet Patty.  She is a good listener and wears her clothes well.

We are adding lots of product to the store.  If you like this blog, please share it with your friends through your facebook and email.  We would like to expand our customer base.  Several people shopped with us when we were open in Olathe during the holiday season 2 years ago.  Many of them were hoping we would start another store and here we are open in Eudora.

Rebel Roxie Rose is tucked away in the corner building at 10th and Maple.  We are right next to the new optometrist in town, Dr. Barnhart.  If you are looking for us, don't give up, we are there and will be open this week including this Sunday afternoon from 12:00 - 5:00 p.m.

There are new affordable Christmas ornaments being made today.  We have traditional, team spirit (some familiar birds can hang on your tree), and even some kinda naughty ones to choose from on our trees.  Remember they are all handmade.  A true collectible to keep year after year. 

I am always looking for a tree topper for my Christmas tree and this year I found one.  Roxie has been busy making "angels" for Christmas trees.  They are not your traditional angels, but oh so cute.  Here are some pictures:
Red Hat Angel Tree Topper (Sold)
Naughty buy Nice Angel




Want a special angel for your tree?  Come in and order what you want for $12.50 each.  Available until we run out of dolls to make them.

I better tie this up, I have more to say, but don't want to lose your interest.  Look for more blogging later!

Lots of New Products for Sale

Here it is Thursday morning and I am getting ready to take my turn going into the shop.  There have been new additions to our line this week.  Roxie and Rose have been busy!  Here are our new treetop angels.  There will be more coming soon.
Cowgirl Angel

Naughty but Nice Angel

We do have some ornery things in our store.  A few, not a lot.  It is all in fun.  We apologize if we insult any one's sensibilities.  Our candle maker has one candle named "Monkey Butt", it smells like bananas.  We also have some borderline naughty ornaments on our tree.  Our goal is for people to have fun and maybe get a laugh or two when shopping in our store.  Please come by and see for yourself all the wonderful products we have displayed.  Here a two examples:

An ornament for the tattoo fan, a gag gift, or just to have a little fun.
Hand made (and applied tattoo) by Roxie Rose, $8


One of 4 different 5 x 7 framed vintage pictures to help remind you there is fun in the sun
somewhere during our winter time cold winds.  Have a vacation dream of your own only $5 each.

We have also been working on the hand embellished clothing.  Men's wear inspired pieces are in style this fall. Cute and affordable, that's Roxie's motto. Size small, $14.50 for the set, including the handcrafted pin.  Find all our very affordable clothing in Roxie's Closet.



Just a little more before I close for today.  For you facebook fans, Rebel Roxie Rose is running a contest on her facebook page.  The prize, one of the candles in our store made by the Scented Flame.

Also, we are going to run a special midnight madness sale for 4 hours on Thanksgiving evening.  More on this later!

I'll stop writing now, so you can get ready to go down and see me at the store at 101 West 10th Street, Eudora, KS, in the building where Byrnes Pharmacy was for over 40 years.  Come and visit even if you aren't ready to buy yet!  Hope to see you soon . . . .


Getting Ready for the Holidays

Roxie and Rose were up late last night working in the shop.  There were lots of things to do.  Yesterday, Roxie worked on the Christmas tree for the auction here in Eudora that will go to help fund the Mayor's Christmas Tree.  A program that helps the less fortunate in our town during the holiday season.  Our tree is made with a western theme.  From the cowgirl angel on top, down to the hearts, stars, and bells scattered throughout the tree.  It is decorated in denim and plaids with handcrafted ornaments on it.  The garland was made by hand, too. 

We have a "new" old vanity in our shop and have refinished the top of with with a decoupage design.  The window display is growing, with the addition of our 40+ year old tree we love to use.  It is decorated with handcrafted ornaments and has a western angel on top.  Decorations on this tree are priced to sell.  Get in early to get a chance to buy these one of a kind ornaments. 

Now, that is a Christmas tree!


Come by and see us soon.  Adding new products daily.  If you like what you see, spread the word to your friends and family.  We would love to have more people reading our blog!  Hope to see you soon at Rebel Roxie Rose . . .




Hours of Operations And More

Rebel Roxie Rose is officially up and open.  We are improving daily, but we have a huge variety of merchandise and new items coming in all of the time.  This week we will begin decorating for Christmas.  WE KNOW!  It seems so early, but everybody else does it . . . and no we wouldn't jump off of a bridge if everybody else did!  Well, at least I don't think we would. 

Now to the first order of business.  Our hours of operation will be set up to be a little longer for the holiday season.  We plan on the following:
What do you think of these hours?  You can send us a comment.  We may be open one or two Sunday afternoons closer to Christmas, if there is any interest.  Again, feel free to comment.  After the first of the year we may cut our hours some for a winter schedule.  We'll see.

Rebel Roxie Rose is Open

Hi!  Finally, we have opened the shop.  We are worn out, but it came out cute.  I will post some pictures of our window display, tutus paired with another vendors onesies, and the table in our "man cave".  That's right we have a man cave complete with chairs to sit in. 

We are excited to share all the wonderful items with you.  Be sure to visit our store soon.!

These were set up in the last 2 days.  Come and see us! 

Less Than 26 Hours Until We Open!

EEEEEEEEEEEK!  We have been working like crazy getting the store ready.  Does anyone plan on coming to our grand opening?  Will we be super busy or will no one show up?  So many questions and no answers. 

There is another shop that has opened this week in Eudora offering fine gifts and more.  We want to wish them the best of luck.  Some people are confused about which store is which.  Well, here is the low down.  Rebel Roxie Rose is the one on 10th Street, we have been in the arts and crafts business for ten years and have finally found a storefront here in our hometown.  We specialize in handcrafted products made within 250 miles or less of Eudora, KS.  The store will carry items from 12 different vendors, most bringing a number of different types of merchandise.  Each vendor is a member of our creative collective.  No two vendors make the exact same thing.  Most of our products are one of a kind and unique in its own way.  The store will be staffed by "Roxie and Rose" and the occasional "Rebel".  Walking into the shop will be like coming to a familiar, comfortable place,  where you can browse looking for that "just right" item for yourself or a friend.  Delivery for special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays will be offered.  Many of our vendors accept special orders, so you can customize a purchase to your liking.  There are lots of reasons to shop with us and we certainly hope you will do that beginning this weekend.

While in Eudora, please visit other shops here in town.  For suggestions and recommendations, just ask us when you come in and we will be glad to direct you.  We have lots to offer here in our little town, so come and see us.  You will be pleasantly surprised at the variety we offer.

Thanks for your patronage in advance . . . until tomorrow!
