Roxie and Rose to be at the New Storefront Halloween
Come by Rebel Roxie Rose on Halloween Night. Remodeling is almost done and we have received permission to hand out treats at the store. Bring your little ghouls, goblins, super heroes, witches, and all the rest down to Rebel Roxie Rose (what used to be Byrne Pharmacy). We will start at 5:00 like the downtown merchants and continue to give candy until 8:00 when our own little goblins will need to head home. We look forward to seeing you there. Wishing you a happy and safe halloween!!!
Roxie's Halloween At The Store....
On the eve of Halloween,
A trifecta of witches will gather and be seen.
Standing in the shadow of old "Rebel Roxie Rose,"
Possibly with paint and dust on their nose.
That won't stop this coven from gathering,
We'll go home and dress up after some lathering....
We will wait for the ghouls, zombies, and little witches,
And forget the long days and all of the bitches.
Treats will be there,
There will be enough the kiddies won't have to share.
Not just the typical sugary delights,
Toys and such that make your imagination take flight.
So, bring all you costume crew to our door,
You will a nice little treat and so much more.......

Rebel Roxie Rose is Running a Contest on Facebook And More
Just a reminder for those who participate in Facebook. There is a Guessing Jar contest that ends on Sunday for our Facebook friends. Check it out.
Of course, not everyone is into Facebook. I didn't want to use it. I fought it all the way. Kristi set up a page for me and I didn't use it forever. Then people started saying, this is on Facebook that is on Facebook. Reluctantly, I started using it. I didn't figure I had anything to say that anyone would be interested in (I still don't think anyone is interested in my opinion and I have lots of them!). Anyway, Rebel Roxie Rose is on Facebook and so am I. Guess it is a sign of the times.
I regress, Rebel Roxie Rose will run contests and giveaways, offer specials, etc. in the store. Be sure to come and see us once we are set up and in full swing.
We posted one of the vendor's the other day. Here is another--A Lady With A Baby, out of Lawrence, Kansas. To quote from her Facebook page regarding her business:

"Function and style collide at A Lady With A Baby! Life is going to be messy, we know that, but that doesn't mean that we can't look cute while we do it. We carry reversible baby bibs for girls and boys as well as aprons for ladies, men, and the kiddos."

Another Day Closer to Halloween and More
Rebel Roxie Rose has me all stirred up. Halloween is coming and I want to get ready for that here at home, yet I need to make things for the store. What a quandary! So many things to do and no ability to focus.
The other half of Roxie is busy doing the same thing. Working on a Halloween party for the kids, complete with food, games, and pumpkin decorating stations for both kids and adults and working toward the opening of the store.
Our list of things to do continues to grow longer and longer. This is the second time I have typed this post, the first time I was happily typing away when the electricity flashed off and back on quickly. Not quickly enough; I lost my first attempt. I was doing so well, too.
The things I am working on right now: assigning vendor IDs for our artisans, getting the paperwork in order for them, sending out inventory blanks and instruction sheets. Then I need to actually make something for the store and not leave all of it for the real creative brains of the outfit to do. My project right now are the 5 x 7 framed first name poems. My friend started out wanted poems for the names of her grandchildren. We found one in a 5x7 frame, then the second one came and we found another. But after that they were no where to be found. So I looked up the meaning and origin of the name and made a four line poem to coincide with the meaning. Then I decorated it accordingly with colors and art or shapes she wanted. Now I do names (many will have to be special ordered due to different spellings) and I do occupations. Some popular occupations are teachers, farmers, postal workers, and nurses. If you have an occupation you want honored with a poem, let me know. I'll try to do it for the store or for you.
Also, I am going to try my hand at some special occasion cards. Some may be a little naughty, others funny and I can do serious. But what's the fun it that?
On to Rebel Roxie Rose progress. More vendors are sending in contracts daily. One of our vendors, J & S Metal Arts of Eudora started a Facebook page. If you get a chance, check it out.
I need to go for now. Until next time . . .

IT'S BEEN A BUSY 2 WEEKS!
I have to apologize for not updating this blog for the store. I have lots of excuses, but won't list them. Instead I will get right to the news and updates.
We headed to Mound City weekend before last to scope out the vendors. We are close to capacity, but want to find things that are unusual (without being weird) and quality to offer our customers. We want you to be able to find things in our store that are the quality you want and something you can be proud and excited to keep or give as a gift. There were several interesting booths there and we invited a few to consider joining us.
Last Saturday, we went to the Maple Leaf Festival in Baldwin City, KS. There were a few new products there that were extremely good quality, unusual, and creative. We are very excited.
Two more vendors have signed up this week. We will get a list out as soon as possible. Would like to wait until everyone has confirmed their spot.
Rebel Roxie Rose should be an interesting store. We will try to keep it fresh and enjoyable to visit and shop. There will be contests, drawings, and events. The holidays will be fun. We will try to have a variety of products for Christmas, New Year's, and Valentine's Day along with the rest of our regular merchandise. Mother's Day will also be an event we will try to have gifts for the special people in your life.
Is there something you are looking for in the handcrafted department? Let us know and we will try to get it in the store. Don't forget to "like" us on Facebook. That is where you will find our specials, coupons, and giveaway events. We are looking forward to opening up and having a grand opening celebration in mid November.
Right now remodeling is in progress. There is a new wall on the West end of the shop. New lines are being installed for heating so we can be warm and cozy in the winter months. The bathroom is getting a total remodel. Now the bathroom is an important room in the store! We will keep you updated. Sign up here on the blog to keep up with us through your e-mail.
Until later . . . .
