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 . . . .
