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!

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!

Halloween and Fun Was Had By All


Here is a pic of our first 4 trick or treaters


Rebel Roxie Rose celebrated big this Halloween.  The two little rebels went trick or treating all over including downtown Eudora.  Roxie and Rose set up a trick or treat station down at the store.  We had some company and assistance from one of our family members.  Several ghouls and goblins, witches and super heroes came to get a bag of goodies.  Hope everyone reading this had a happy and safe Halloween.

It was a long and exciting October.  Now it is time to wish October a fond farewell.  Here's to all our friends until we get to dress up again next year.
Roxie and Rose Rocker Fairies
Until next year . . . .
