Rose talk of Second Hand Rose (finally)

Hello Everyone, Kris Hart spent some time with me today to show me how to add to MY blog. I am not very talented when it comes to computers but I remind everyone that I shine in other areas.
We had a terrific sale if you consider that we had rain, sleet, snow, wind, piles of snow in front of the shop, an icy sidewalk, dealers with the flu AND the Super Bowl! I sold a lot of pretty green Ivy plants. Everyone is so anxious to see GREEN!

Coming soon on our Blog is a notice that Ted Thompson one of our talented dealer at Second Hard Rose is going to be presenting his incredible furniture on the Second Hand Rose blog. He will be selling direct to you. Ted studied furniture making with the Amish in the Eastern US. I just know that his furniture is going to be collectible some day. He is one of these rare people who has talent AND taste. So, now is your chance! He makes a table that makes me weak in the knees and his prices are really reasonable. He will also continue selling at our monthly sale.
Once again we will be moving some dealers around for the next sale. Gail Walden will me back with her upholstered pieces. Many of you have been asking about her.

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!!
