Susan listening earnestly to one of our many customers. Cindy with her Ummmhmmmm look (oh we are gonna miss you girl!!).

Ooohhh....I can FEEL the holiday spirit just jumping right out of my screen!!! Love it! Second Hand Rose is my all time favorite shop in your neck of the woods...just wish I was a bit closer!

By the way, Kris, my middle son has always liked being out and tinkering with things, so he has always been good help when he's available. A good meal is usually all he expects. I'll miss him next year when he's off to college! My youngest...all bribes.

It looks like a job dreams are made of. I love to shop in a happy store where everyone is having a blast. It looks like a fun place to be.

Ya'll have a terrifically blessed day from the hills and hollers of the Ozarks!!!

Finally a comment from the "PooBah" herself!!
We had the 09 Christmas gathering at my house last night. It was so great having good cheer and conversaton with all of my great dealers and to leave business discussions behind. Not all of our dealers could come. Cindy, you had gifts waiting for you , not to mention some reluctant "good bye's". We will all miss you so much. Cindy played a huge roll in the growth of Second Hand Rose. We all wish her the best of success.
Happy Holidays to all. Rose

Now for a business post.
I am looking for at least two new dealers for Second Hand Rose. These dealers will have a "test" period of three months. They must sell items similiar to those in our shop and MUST know how to set up, sell items in our price range, be able to work at least ten hours during the sale and be willing to be part of the best group of dealers in the area! Contact Rose .....rose2ndhand@charter.net

SECOND HAND ROSE was brought to life 27 years ago by Rosalie Darden. Most people thought that opening the doors of a shop only 4 days a month was ridiculous – and yet SECOND HAND ROSE is still thriving all these years later and has inspired occasional sales all across the country, nine in Buffalo alone.

Rose decided to retire in the fall of 2010. The news hit everyone hard – no more Second Hand Rose????? So she decided to see if she could find some buyers for the business.

BRAD and AMY JOHNSON to the rescue!!!!! Brad and Amy Johnson have been customers of SHR for years and say that much of their home, offices and cabin are furnished with items purchased from SHR. They are a young, ambitious, dedicated, creative, enthusiastic, hard working couple with three wonderful boys (Carter, Parker and Hunter) and a very supportive extended family to help them in this new endeavor. Their goal is to take all the best parts of SHR that set us apart from other shops and build on that - they won’t fix what ain’t broke – but will add wonderful new ideas, items, and dealers to make SECOND HAND ROSE bigger and better! Our goals are still to keep up to date with the latest color trends, seasonal ideas, usable and unusual furnishings and incredible one-of-a-kind funky pieces that add up to the “Unexpected” that make SECOND HAND ROSE second to none!

Many of the dealers you have known for years are still there and will continue to be a part of the NEW SHR and you will soon meet some wonderful new creative faces as well!! So keep on coming out and watch us grow! You won’t want to miss a moment of the New SECOND HAND ROSE!!
