We are SOOO ready to move!!!!

Rebel Roxie Rose has been in this storefront for a little over a year.  We built a good following and appreciated all of our business from our customers during this time.  The transition from the storefront to our studio seems to be going amazingly well.. None of our regulars seemed upset and are anxious to see us open the studio where they can call us and make arrangements to come over.  Also, the fact that we will continue to post new products on Facebook and our new website www.rebelroxierose.com is a plus.

So many people that are on our facebook are now out of town and would like to be able to order from us.  Even though we missed the December 10 opening date for our site, it won't be long now.  We have set up our sections and are gathering objects to post.  As soon as our shopping cart is in place we will be good to go.  If you go to the website, you will see some blogging explaining what we are doing.

Last night at the store was really strange.  The Wednesday night before was so busy we couldn't sit down.  Only a hand full came by last night.  We are down to the nitty gritty.  With products going on line, we are trying to sell much of our the inventory at the store at deep discounts.  We are pulling out all the merchandise we have had stored away and putting it out.  We have decided to be on call only on Friday.  Saturday we will open bright and early and have specials all day.  It will be quite a "LAST DAY" before the move sale.  Send in your friends, come in yourself and see what we have both old and new.

Don't miss out on these sales.  We are ready to get started on our next phase and you can take advantage of our great slashed prices.  REMEMBER, Saturday, December 15, 10:30 - ?.  We'll stay as long as you are coming by to buy!


Can you find the little extras I added to this background graphic I built using vintage ads and my own filler?  Hint--there are 5.






Answers:  Black & white ad at top "Shop -- Rebel Roxie Rose".  In the Keep her where she belongs ad "Shopping here at Rebel Roxie Rose".  Happy woman with fridge full of food "Why does this woman look so happy? Doesn't she realize she has to cook all that food and serve it".  Next to her the pink and white filler "Never underestimate the power of a woman".  And finally Shhh! ad with scaredy cats hiding by bush, "And is it any wonder?  Look at those two!".  

Until next blog . . .

New Products Made Constantly at Rebel Roxie Rose!







We may be moving from our storefront, but we are going into overdrive making new products to go onto our website that will be www.rebelroxierose.com.  The next two weeks, we will offer many of the newest items in the store at a low introductory price to our customers to give them first chance to purchase some of our newest merchandise.  The earring stock is being replenished.  We will offer many new styles (both fashion and Christmas) in the store for $2 & $3 a pair.  When they go online, they will be higher.  This is an introductory price for our customers coming into the store for the next 2 weeks.

These 3 pictures will show you what is coming soon for $2 a pair.  Wonderful gifts or something for yourself.  These are designed and hand made by Rebel Roxie Rose.  Sorry, but at $2 a pair we cannot supply gift boxes as we usually do in the store.  Small jewelry gift boxes will be available for purchase for an additional charge.




Now, take a look at these for $3 in store only.  Oh la la, these are something wonderful!  Don't miss getting a pair of these beautiful earrings for this low, low price.




AND here is a necklace and earring set priced at $6 in store.




On to other items we made this last few days.
New candle holders fit 3x3 pillar candles.  With Scented Flame candle purchase $2 each.  Purchased alone $3.50.
One of a kind winter bouquet $12.50

one of a kind holiday "bling" vase.  $5.50


FYI, I am getting ready to say something that may be offensive to some, if so skip the next line.

We cannot shit new products.

When we sit down to make items (i.e. bibs, headbands, polymer beads, etc) we have to drag out the equipment and make batches of them.  When we say we have this many and you need to buy them while we have them, we mean it.  Often times, we don't have the spare time to stop and make one of something.  That is why our products get made in groups.  That is how we keep our prices as low as we do.

If we say we only have one.  We only have one.  Either we can't get the object or materials to make more, or the price to get another would be prohibitive.  Some of the things we make are made of materials we have a limited amount of or it was made from something we purchased at a great price.  We do this to give the customer good prices and unusual products.  We cannot always duplicate things.  So even though we want to keep everyone pleased with the choices we have, the nature of what we do leads to one of a kind or at least just a few of similar products.

Hope I didn't offend anyone's sensibilities.  The message is--see something you want or want to give as a gift?  Get it!  It may be gone and no more can be made during the season or possibly ever.

Thanks for checking out our blog and watch for our online store in the near future www.rebelroxierose.com.
Until next blog . . .  

Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, Au Revoir, We're Outta Here--at Least Out of Our Storefront

After one year and one month, Rebel Roxie Rose is leaving the store front at 101 W. 10th, Suite B, Eudora, KS.  December 15 will be our last day open in the store.  HOWEVER, we will not be going out of business.  We are simply changing what we are doing to better target our specific audience.  Here at Rebel Roxie Rose, we realize that our handmade items are an acquired taste.  Not everyone digs our vibe!  But that's OK.  For the ones that do--we are going to continue to make our unique and unusual products (some would call them weird, but we prefer not to use that term).

Look for Rebel Roxie Rose online at www.rebelroxierose.com.  We are excited about our new site that should be up and running by December 10, complete with a shopping cart.  We decided to pull on our big girl panties and try to run with the big dogs with an online store.  Many of our regular customers watch Facebook, Instagram, and this blog to see our newest products.  We will continue to keep our Facebook page current and interesting and this blog will continue, but in a different vein.  Rather then just copying a bunch of stuff off of Facebook, the online store will give me an opportunity to update you on what is going on and the trials and tribulations of running an online store, opening up a studio for appointments, and running the craft show circuit.

Yes, we are opening up a studio.  It sounds chic doesn't it?  Studio.  Well, we prefer to call if our ghettio.  It is in the garage of one of our homes.  We have the whole famn damily helping us convert the garage into a presentable space where we can work, keep our online stock and have a showroom where we can have events and be open by appointment for our customers.  Sounds daunting doesn't it?  Well, it is!  Since it is in a garage we feel it is a little ghetto, but it is our studio.  Hence it is now our "ghettio".  Get it?

Quickly, I want to thank everyone who has shopped in our store this last year.  And a special thanks to all of our regular customers who have continued to come in and see what we had to offer and purchased items from us.  Most of these people have become more then customers, we feel we have made many new friends.  Some we knew before, some we recognized from passing in the school, bank, store, etc. and some were new faces.  To all of you, thank you for your support and kindness.  Please keep in touch.

Another thank you needs to go to our landlord, Stan Byrne.  He has been wonderful.  The store is a great space.  He keeps it in good repair.  He has been supportive and gave us encouragement when we felt like we couldn't make it another month.  Stan has been more then a landlord, he has been or friend and has given us good advice (even when we didn't listen and should have).  Thank you, Stan, we owe you ALOT.

If anyone is looking for a great small space, think about this one.  The utilities are low and the building is clean and has plenty of natural light.  It is a wonderful store.  750 sq. ft. of very usable space.

So, to recap.  Closing December 15--last day in the store.  Moving to ghettio.  Will try to have it ready by January 15.  Starting online store by December 10.  Will continue to make our weird and wonderful stuff.  Furniture will still be available and will be online.

Thanks for the last year of purchases, support and some great conversations.  Rebel Roxie Rose will rock on, just in a different place, in a little bit different way.  Until next blog . . . .

What Exactly is Rebel Roxie Rose?

Recently, we received a message from a new facebook friend who lived in another state and wanted to know exactly what type of store was Rebel Roxie Rose.  I could have answered that question at this time last year in a simple sentence.  In the beginning we were a store carrying handcrafted items made by artisans within a 150 mile radius of Eudora.  Over the last year we have changed in order to give the customer what they want and/or need.  

Now we are still a coop with a few select members that live and work within 50 miles of Eudora.  All of our artisans make their products themselves.  Some of our artisans are--The Scented Flame, J. Linzer Stampin' Up Creations, Homespun Crafts, Faith N' Jenn, Prim Country, Sandy's Studio, Zany Zanni's Designs and, of course, Rebel Roxie Rose. We now have expanded to vintage items supplied to us by Rebel Roxie Rose, Vintage Vixen, J.R.'s Finds, Bargains & Treasures, and, as a cross over vendor, Prim Country.  

We use furniture and items we love for our display units.  Over time people were always wanting to buy our displays.  So, we began buying vintage pieces of furniture; refinishing and refurbishing it to offer it for sale.  We have had many customers come in for our furniture done with the Rebel Roxie Rose or Vintage Vixen touch.  We sell only furniture that is sturdy and in good repair.  We keep our prices as low as possible.  Presently, we were able to purchase a large lot of vintage furniture and knick knacks from a place dealing in vintage items.  We are now offering the furniture in its original condition for low prices.  Customers can purchase it and use it as is or they can add their own touch to it.  Anything that does not sell soon will be redone in classic RRR style and at that time, the price will have to go up.   

This wooden table and six chairs comes with 2 leaves.  The cane is in excellent condition on the chairs.  In this original condition, we have it priced at $175.  Can't beat it if you are looking for a good sturdy set that can be expanded for holiday dining.  Don't wait too long.  if we redo it, the price will need to go up.  Come in and take a look at this wonderful piece of quality furniture!


We are now a handmade/home interior/give 'em what they want store.  It is hard to label us.  Are we a gift and home interior store?  Sort of, but we also carry purses, hats, and other accessories purchased new within 150 miles of here.  We don't buy our handmade items off of Etsy.  We don't order in lots from China. We buy local and sell it to you at affordable prices.

Come in and check us out and see for yourself!  We will be open Saturday from 10-5.  We will be posting our extended holiday hours soon.  Our facebook page will give you lots of info about us and when we are open.  

Until next blog . . . .





  

Halloween #2 (not that kind of #2) at Rebel Roxie Rose

Last year Roxie and Rose sat up for Halloween in an empty store;
    They dressed up, gave out candy and strange stares they did ignore.
Witches is what they dressed up to look like;
     Not too pretty, not too scary, but dressed up just right.
One hard year has come and gone;
     But so far we are still here trying to hold on!
Rebel, Roxie, Rose and all the crew;
     Love running the store for people like you.
Please come by to see us Halloween night;
      We will try not to give you a most terrible fright!
We'll be open on Tuesday and on Wednesday too.
      Come Halloween evening we'll have goodies for you!

SPECIAL EVENT THURSDAY NIGHT 6:00 PM TO 8:30 pm.

How time flies when your having fun!  I didn't blog last month.  I can't believe it.  Never a day goes by that my mouth isn't going, you would think I could take a minute and let my fingers do the talking (get it?).  Now that is probably showing my age.

Summer was busy at Rebel Roxie Rose.  The beginning of school and people getting back into the swing of things, seems to have slowed down the shopping.  That gave us a chance to catch up some and start making some new stuff.  We are back making new items.  Earrings, Halloween decorations, and more.

Cute handpainted and designed folding stool.  Sturdy with metal legs.  Great for Halloween. Price $13.13.


We are in the process with some and already have some finished products in the store and ready to go!  This Thursday night we are having a special event from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. to give everyone a chance to see and/or buy our newest items which include a huge selection of character and holiday earrings designed and handcrafted by Roxie herself.  Special price $3 a pair.  There will be a few of some of the best selling team spirit earrings for all the jay lovers out there at $5 a pair (reg. $7) while supplies last.  There are only so many pair made per year.  Don't miss your chance to get yours!

Lil Monster Earrings

Fall Preview Special Hours on Wednesday 8/29/2012

This last week was very busy for the Rebel Roxie Rose crew.  Besides being the first week of school for the kiddos, we started our fall hours.  It was tough getting back into the swing of things.  Thankfully, we had a very busy Friday and Saturday. 

That meant that on Sunday we were busy restocking the store.  Have we got some goodies for you!  Not only did we add a fantastic bedroom area (complete with antique dresser, full bed with a curved footboard and a night stand), but we added some items we haven't had before.  We have an unusual breakfast tray/lap letter writing desk we are offering for sale.  The legs fold under it for easy storage and when set up, it can be flat or the top can be pulled up to sit at an angle to write letters, checks, notes, or lists.  It is a soft green with a floral design in one corner.  We are not redoing it, but rather leaving it in its original condition.  A unique piece you must see to appreciate.  The picture does not do it justice.



Of course, we found some more jars; all different shapes and sizes.  From quart down to spice size and unusual shapes.  There are knick knacks galore.  Some kitchen items to help make your kitchen look more retro and cozy.  But this Wedneday will be special.  We will hold an event from 5:30-8:30.

The Rebel Roxie Rose Fall Preview

 
New items and new vendors will be showing their wares on Wednesday evening.  Our vendors will be offering some new items that will be in the store for the first time.  Don't miss out on this.  For the ones of you that cannot make it during the day, we are going to hold these special hours this one day so everyone can come in and browse and get a chance to check out our newest additions.  You will even get to see the beginnings of our (dare I say it?) Halloween display.  We know!  It seems awfully early, but Labor Day is only a few days away and autumn will start kicking into high gear and the days will pass quickly.
 
Homespun Crafts joined us this last month bringing in Bag Buddies, pin cushions, bibs and burpers with more on the way.  We are making room for The Unique Needle (specializing in heirloom sewing and machine embroidery), and The Violet Pansy (making aprons, children's clothing, adult pjs and more).  Also, Zany Zanni Designs made their debut this weekend with a piece of Drexel furniture that had been completely redone (and now sold).  They are joining us, The Scented Flame and Jeanna Linzer-Stampin' Up, as local (all within 50 miles of our store) vendors supplying our store with handcrafted quality products.  Along with Vintage Vixen, Prim Country, and JR's Finds we have a wonderful variety of local items that are made, purchased, or produced within 150 miles of our shop.  Help us help the area economy.  Every dollar you spend with us stays in our area to help strengthen our economic growth and health. 
 
Don't forget:
Wednesday, August 29
Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and stay open until 8:30
 
 
Come and see us and check out what's new at Rebel Roxie Rose, 101 W. 10th St., Eudora, KS.

Special Opening Wednesday, August 15 at 3:00 p.m.


Here in Eudora, we work on a special kind of schedule.  We open our stores according to the needs and wants of the customers.  For some reason, Wednesdays are often busy days.  That said, Rebel Roxie Rose has only been open Friday and Saturday over the summer months, but we will return to being open Wednesday after school begins (which it begins this Thursday). 

Cami's Cake Company is opening Wednesday, August 15 from 3-8 p.m. for a charity bake sale.  They will have tickets that can be purchased as a donation and there are several prizes to win.  Many of us in the community (including Roxie Rose) contributed items for the prizes.  The tickets will be $2.00 each or 3 for $5.00, with the proceeds going to  Share Our Strength's Great American Bake Sale

Photo: We prepared our final summer sales tables! We did a final markdown and are taking 50% off the lowest price marked. Grab Bags that are left will be $1. We will be open at the same time as Cami's Cake Co. Wednesday. $1 burp rags, $2 T-skirts, $3 T-shirts, and list goes on and on.Rebel Roxie Rose will also be open these hours and will be offering a Sizzlin' Sale here at the end of summer. We have prepared our final summer sales tables! We are doing a final markdown and are taking 50% off the lowest price marked.

We have already started a table with a fall theme. Several back-to-school gift items are available for teachers and students alike. Don't miss coming in on this special sales day.


We have been very fortunate to have added on several new facebook friends on our page in the last 10 days.  Our facebook page has been a great addition for us.  We can stay in touch with our customers and show off our newest creations and additions.  We also added a new vendor who lives outside of Eudora a few miles.  Judy of Homespun Crafts has made and brought in some really cute "bag buddies".  Upcycled using children's clothing and new fabric, it is a really great idea for storing your bags, using for a baby hamper, storing stuffed animals, and more.  Come in and see them.  She makes them in all kinds of themes from sports to owls and everything in between.  She is also working on some burpers and burp cloths to add to her line.  Those should be in soon.

This blog is for our fb friends and our friends that don't do facebook.  Hopefully, it will help you keep up with what we are doing as the year goes on.  Let us know if you like it and let us know what you would like to see in the store.

Our store has been going through some growing pains.  Now we have vendors from no farther away than 50 miles and everything in our store is made, produced, or purchased within 150 miles of the shop.  Every penny we spend stays close to home and so does the money you spend in our store.  Keeping it local as possible.  Roxie Rose is local, handmade, and just plain fun!

Hope to see you Wednesday afternoon and evening.  Don't forget to go down to Cami's Cake Co. for some delicious cupcakes ($2) each and purchase a ticket to try to win one of over 34 prizes.  Good luck and until next blog . . . .

We won Third Place in Floats at the Eudora CPA

That's right!  We were (and are) winners.  Rebel Roxie Rose won 3rd in the float division in the CPA parade.  Our float designer (Roxie) has placed in parades for other organizations in the past.  This year she had a chance to do it up right for our own shop.  She started planning early.  But the heat came and we weren't sure we could manage to participate.  We only had her hubby's pick-up to use (and thanks to him for allowing us to doll it up).  She worked hard the days before the parade getting everything together and putting together bubble wands and glow sticks with candy attached to toss out to kids on the route.  Then the day of the parade was really a hot one!  She covered the top of the cab, had help from the littlest rebel getting decorations made, and put the signs together that hung on each side of the bed.  I helped by cutting out the letters we used on 3 of the signs.  Then in the late hot afternoon sun we set up the girls in the back of the truck.

First we built a riser and covered it, carried "Patty" (our manniquin/dress form) to the truck bed.  Patty didn't want to go and ran off and jumped off the river bridge, but all it did was caused her to be shorter--that's our story and we're stickin' to it.  After Patty had her little accident and became about 3 feet shorter, we had to make last minute adjustments to our display.  It took some inventive bunge binding, but she made the parade with her two friends; Freida and Francine Frogleg.  If you remember, the Frogleg girls were put out of commission by vandals here a few weeks ago.  But the troopers that they are, they came out to make an appearance for the parade.  Francine helped to steady poor old Patty as Frieda rode along on the purple lawn chair.  The Frogleg girls were not going to miss the parade.  They wanted to get out and show everyone they were still able to have fun.


On to some subjects that are more solemn.  First, thanks to all that wished us condolences on the loss in our extended Rebel Roxie Rose family.  We passed them on to the immediate family memebers.  Thanks for your concern.  Next, we said good-bye to a wonderful vendor we had with us since the beginning of this venture.  Gail's Doll Clothes out of Olathe, Kansas will no longer have her products in the store.  However, if you need clothes for 18" or 15" dolls, we can direct you to her.  She also has an Etsy shop.  Thanks for being with us Gail and Amy.  You were wonderful to work with this last several months.  Another vendor that has moved on is Julie Smith of Two Freckled Frogs in Lawrence.  Good luck, Julie, in your monogramming and applique business.  That is all of the serious news, now on to more about what is ongoing~

Fun is a big part of Rebel Roxie Rose's mission. Unique, quality goods at affordable prices and a fun place to shop. We have had some changes to our line this month.  We will be offering some new bling while supplies last.  Diamonds may be a girl's best friend, but these sparkly rhinestones run a close second!








I have more news and things to show you, but I better go before you get tired of reading!  Next time, I'll show you some of our new furniture!  Until next blog. . . .

Busy Month for Rebel Roxie Rose

Editorial comments are placed at the bottom of this blog.  These views may or may not be shared by all involved in Rebel Roxie Rose and their vendors.  Now for the nice part of the blog--I'll save my sharp tongue for last.   

This month was kicked off with 4th of July.  Rebel Roxie Rose had a great holiday and we hope you did too!  The sale around the 4th was successful and we want to thank all that came in and purchased our items from our red, white, and blue collection.

Our next event was a sad one.  Our frog girls took one for the team when vandals tore them from the wall around the sign and pulled the stuffing out of them (literally).  Also torn from the posts were the summer decorations.  They ended up on the roof of the eye care clinic.  To the ones that did this, we are close to identifying you and you should be ashamed of yourselves!

July 20, we set up at Eudora Family Fun Night with handmade bubble wands and bubble solution.  Due to the hot weather, not as many Eudora residents braved the high temps as the month before, but the ones that did come, had loads of fun.  We gave bubble wands and bubble shooters to all that came to our booth and let them play in trays of homemade bubble solution.  It was messy, but fun.

The next day, Roxie and Rose went down to the store and got things ready for the Customer Appreciation Day Sale.  Lots of great items on sale for 20%, 30%, and 50% off.  Many of our regulars came in to take advantage of our sale.  Some were out of town on vacation.  Thanks for all your support.  We had a good day on Saturday and appreciate everyone braving the hot weather to come to the store.  Without our loyal customers, we wouldn't be able to stay in business and sell our wares.  Our goal is to offer you unique items that you want at affordable prices.  We price our merchandise according to the amount we have to pay for it.  That is why some similar items are priced differently.  If we get a good deal, so do you. 

During the last two weeks we had to restock, plus make some new products in our handcrafted line.
Rose, Roxie, and her hubby have all been out trying to find merchandise for you, our customers.  Roxie and Rose have been working on new handcrafted products too.  Here is a sample of what will be available this Friday and Saturday in our store. 
Crock grease catcher.  Excellent condition
$8.50
Creamer and Sugar $6.95
Pottery Cups $3.50 each
Actual silver letters.  "EAT" made with all
matching pieces from same set. 
Handmade heart rug, vintage.
$12.50
Vintage sturdy wooden chest
of drawers with large storage
area with doors on bottom. $75


If you are planning on coming to Eudora
for the CPA this weekend, stop by the store.  Friday we will be open 9 - 6.  Saturday, we will be open 9-3, we will be closing early Saturday so we can participate in the
CPA parade.



Look for our ad in the new "Discover Eudora" publication.  Although we do belong to the Chamber of Commerce, we will not have a feature article in the publication.  It appears that since we are one block West of Main Street, we are not considered part of downtown.  It would have been nice if the publishers and the others involved in this would have featured all of the downtown area merchants, since we are new to town (less then a year) and do participate in the community events and we advertised in the publication I have to wonder why we were excluded.  Well, I will quit pissing and moaning now.  Just remember to come and see us when you are in downtown Eudora.  We are only one block off of Main and have plenty of parking.  We are right next to the Eudora Eye Care Center.  Look for us when you come to town!

Until next blog. . . .

Vandalism at RRR Destroys Frogs!

Yes, I realize that is a dramatic title for this post, but did it get your attention?  Well, it is true.  We went by to pick something up from the store on Sunday around noon and was greeted by one of our summer frog windsocks hung over the door handle.  We had put the "girls" out front around our temporary sign to greet everyone for the summer.  We attached them firmly so the wind wouldn't blow them away.  Vandals had to yank them down, but in the process tore them up.  There was stuffing coming out everywhere!  A grisly sight.  Our summer post decorations had been pulled off and thrown on the roof.  Here are the pictures:


We were shocked that anyone would do this.  Senseless destruction of property and the frogs are none too happy about any of this.  The frog girls have happily greeted everyone this summer.  It was close to the time for them to be removed and then this happened.  The girls may have a statement to make before long.  We'll see how they do after the trauma of it all.

I may make a joke or two about this, but it is no laughing matter.  The disrespect this shows for others, doesn't say much for our town.  They were quite brave to do this under the lights and cameras.  We have been lucky up until this incident, to have nothing done to our outside decorations.

Rebel Roxie Rose is back to normal and we are running a contest on facebook.  So if you haven't joined us, please do so if you are a facebook user.  Better go . . . . . until next blog.

Local, Handmade, and Just Plain Fun . . . that's what RRR is made of.

We have been soooo busy at Rebel Roxie Rose, my blogging ended up on the back burner.  I have to apologize to the ones of you following it.  RRR has been going through some changes and growth.  We have expanded the variety of items we carry.  Truly something for everyone.

We went to Eudora Family Night in June and fun was had by all (really).  Roxie stayed busy building balloon animals and thanks to the Cluck family, the Roxie Rose Gang was able to meet demand.  Couldn't have done it without them!  The next day was our sidewalk sale which was very successful.  Will do it all again this month (kind of like the Katy Perry song "Friday night"). 

RRR is still loyal to our original concept of selling local products.  All handmade items are currently made within 50 miles of our store.  All other items are either produced or purchased within 150 miles of our store.  Our vintage furniture is clean, updated, and in good shape.  We do our best to find pieces that will be something you will want in your home.  Unusually painted and detailed we try to find wooden pieces that will last for years.  Vintage chairs are chosen for style and sturdiness.  Right now we have a mid century Eames style metal and padded folding chair with the original upholstery.  The color is one that is hard to find -- red with black metal.  This sturdy chair is a classic that would be great in a front entrance, used for extra seating or for an addition to your mid century decor.  So cool, it was hard for me to put it in the store.  It is priced in store at $35.  Believe me, that is a good price for the condition and the color.  White and beige can be found, but red?  We haven't been able to find anymore, but am still looking.

   

Also, Roxie has been busy painting chests, bureaus, buffets, coffee tables, and more.  Recently, she sold a really cute desk.  Now we have a great vintage wooden chest of drawers with 4 drawers and bottom double doors for extra storage.  Sturdy and in good repair it has been dry brushed with a cream paint to allow all the beauty marks from age to shine through.  It's look can be described as country or boho depending on what you put it with. This piece can change with you. Can't beat the price of $75.

Also available is a post modern coffee table painted a yummy green with a retro design in the center.  As always, solid and in excellent condition. Priced to sell at $35.






Rebel Roxie Rose is still carrying local handmade items by several vendors.  We are always making things ourselves and so are our vendors.  The Scented Flame is busy making new candles and favorite fall scents.  A new summer scent, Yellow Polka Dot Bikini, is light yellow with darker yellow dots scattered throughout the candle.  All of their 3 x 3 candles burn approximately 60 hours.  Priced at $8.00 each, they burn down evenly and the scent fills a large area all the way to the end.  Our store is over 700 sq. ft.  We can smell the one we are burning throughout the store from start to finish.  $8 each.


There will be more info about other vendors in our next few blogs.  Keep watching!  We'll be blogging more often and sending out more info for you, but right now will stop and let the keyboard cool off!   Until next blog . . . .
