We have also posted our products and updates on our Facebook page. Many of you reading this post may not follow us on Facebook, but we have lots of stuff posted on it. Most of the products we introduce will be placed on Facebook a few hours to a few days before going to the website.
The store was too much for the two of us to run the way we wanted to do it. Decorating and making products for each season and holiday was increasingly difficult. We loved seeing everyone that came in, but business in our little hometown runs hot and cold. We were busy during the slow times getting ready for the rush and could barely keep up when it was busy. We tried our best to give our customers what they wanted. Keeping prices low in a time when money was tight for shoppers became more difficult as supply prices rose.
Do we miss our customers and friends coming by to shop and/or see us? YES, definitely. Do we miss a place to go to work to make products? YES. Trying to work at home is a difficult thing. Especially when you have to have supplies spread out. Do we miss all the bookkeeping and waiting for customers to pull in and come through the door every time a car went by? NO. The most stressful thing about a storefront is going in to work and being there all day and no one coming in to shop. That was why we went to Friday and Saturday business hours. The times we opened up in the evening once a week were either extremely busy or no business at all. Either way we were wiped out the next day. We had an excellent landlord that worked with us. Our neighboring businesses were not always so friendly. Yes, we knew neither one of them particularly wanted us there. Hope they enjoy the new tenant more then they did us. We were a little outspoken, which they may have perceived as rude, but hey, we are who we are! Rebel Roxie Rose is a store that is on the edge a little. We are naughty and nice. Sometimes like to be a little inappropriate, but not SCANDALOUS! So, for anyone that found us offensive, we are sorry you found us distasteful, but not sorry for being who we are--fun and flirty with a wink of an eye. We do not take ourselves too seriously, but mean business when it comes to hawking our wares.
Hey and if you want quality products that are both unique and unusual, contact us. Our prices are based on how much we have in an item. Just because the price seems low, does not mean it is of poor or substandard quality. We try to keep the price fair as we can. We are usually cheaper on our handmade original design jewelry then the big box stores. We have items that you can give as gifts and people will like them and ask where they came from. We have that all the time. Give us a look see!
Ok, enough blah blah. Here are some pics of some of the products in our jewelry section at www.rebelroxierose.com. We will also be going to craft shows in the spring--look for us!
