August Goodies and a Flea Market

July is starting to wind down and you know what that means..............lots of activity around Second Hand Rose!! All of us are running in and out, about and around, gathering goodies, painting, repairing, buying, building and yep, some of us have even started and almost finished set up (not me of course but you may have heard the name BARB before??????) I was in the shop today dropping of a van load of stuff and had to look around to see what was going on. Lots of chaos!!!! Stuff everywhere - but what GRAND stuff!!!! I got totally inspired to rush home and work harder and faster on all of my goodies just so I can be in the same league as what I was seeing! And the set-up's I was seeing?????? Well, all pretty awesome in the beginning stages so I can't wait to see what the final stages will look like!

Ready to check it all out???????????? Well, let's go then.........................

NO, WAIT, STOP!!!!!!!

I forgot to tell you something - We are having a FLEA MARKET at our August sale!!!! Out back behind the shop will be tons of treasures - some will be in boxes and baskets so you will have to dig, bigger pieces will be lined up - no staging, no fancy set up - BUT CHEAP, CHEAP, CHEAP!! So be sure to check out our "back yard" this sale - there will be tons of goodies!! Okay, now let's check out what is going on inside.....................

Rose has the back wall this month - and of course it is awesome even only partially done! There is just no denying it - Rose is the absolute BEST!!

Some more of Rose's front section.

Some stuff in Lynn's area - no set up yet but I started my "gotta have" list in her area!!

This dresser in Cindy's area is gorgeous - it is the most incredible shade of scarlet - and she has a great beadboard cupboard and a drop dead gorgeous antique trunk in there too!!

I LOVE this little table in Angela's area!

This great blue dresser is in Barb's area - such a nice soft color!

This shelving unit is in Cathy's area - I think it has endless possibilities! And that cool vent thing on top??? I love the shape!

Another section of Rose's area - over the doorway! I love the fact that she has used rope to hang everything and just let it dangle here and there - the rope becomes art in itself!

A multi-colored dresser heading into my area! You know me - just gotta do red and multi-colors!!

Two shelves and a sign also heading to my area - altho by the time you see it next this shelving unit will be a great shade of green!

There is a HUGE blue armoire in Pat's area - she had SO MUCH stuff piled in her room that I couldn't get a very good shot of the armoire - but there is a great table standing inside it and some awesome artwork hanging on the wall!

I love this beadboard piece in MaryAnn's area! She is almost all set up!!!! Hmmmmm.......I think perhaps the pod people were here and swapped her out for a new MaryAnn!!

I love this open cupboard of Sharon's - but I love the bowls more!!

What a sweet little girl don't you think? And all blinged up!!

Bonnie has tons of stuff in her area - not set up yet but..........do you see it.................there it is...................hiding behind the chair...................one of her famous pumpkin paintings!!!! I bet there will be more!

Soooooooooooooo, are you anxious yet? Mark your calendars, get the gang ready, we'll be waiting for you on August 5th!!!!

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!!
