We Are Lonesome Down at the Old Store

Man, we had some really good business before Christmas.  REALLY GOOD!  But since that time, it has been really slow.  Right now, I want to thank the ones that have come into the store.  We appreciate all of your business.  It was so slow today (you ask "how slow was it?") that Roxie had time to make 16 of the cutest burp rags you have ever seen.  Small, medium, and large in different thicknesses to fit the needs of mom.  The smallest will go into your purse or diaper bag.  They are made with quality cotton fabric on one side and thick material on the other to stop "burp-through".  Each one is only $3.00.  Come in an get them while they last.

 

And what did Rose have time to do?  She wrote a poem.  One about sadness and loneliness.  Here it is for all of our blog readers. 

Roxie and Rose are all alone and by themselves;

   Cute stuff sitting all over the counters and shelves.       

With little business after Christmas our patience run thin;

   Figured out it may end up that we just can’t win.

Ten years ago we started making things we couldn’t buy;

   Made items ourselves because products were so high.

Went to the craft shows to share our quality things;

   Many customers liked our offerings of bling.

Then came the idea of a shop filled with handcrafted goods;

   Made by us and some friends from the neighborhood.

Asked people we knew from our craft show days;

    To join our little co-op and said yes with few delays.

Here we are putting ourselves on the line;

    With little business and plenty of time;

Need something for a birthday, anniversary or just because?

    Want something and we are closed, just call--we won’t pause.

Quick as a flash and we will come to the store;

    With keys in our hand and we will open the door.

We will invite you in as we flip on the lights;

     And you can shop to your little heart’s delight.  

If you need a gift or something cute for your home;

    Think of Rebel Roxie Rose sitting and waiting all alone.

We will do what it takes to make our customers happy;

    Even go so far as to write a poem that is just so sappy.

Please think of us when buying gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and more.  We have lots of cute items.  The people in Eudora want and need businesses so they can shop locally.  If you want the small businesses to stay, please be sure to support all of us.  Thanks until next time.
