Brad and Amy were kind enough to host our SHR Christmas party at their home - and were also kind enough to let me take lots of photos to share with all of you! You are going to have to excuse some of the photos tho - a new camera and I am still learning about settings - but you'll get the ideas anyhow!!
This was taken in their office - these very tall square columns are on each side of the desk with an old barn door as the back drop. Their western collection of saddle, horns, hats, and chaps help adorn this wall.
Don't you just love this great old garage door as the headboard? It is incredible!
Again in the master - they have white furniture and linens mixed in with the old dark woods - it is a great combination of old and new!
Love the nite stands - his side with a vintage fur man's cap.....
And hers with a vintage woman's fur hat!
At the foot of the bed this beautiful old trunk! Love the tote as the picture holder! And I kept trying to figure out how I was going to fit the huge gauge in my pocket!
In the dining room over the buffet - this huge old window, a pair of shutters someone was tossing and a feather wreath they bought at a garage sale!
The fireplace in the dining room was so festive! Love the large glass of ornaments - and the great old wheel as art!
The fireplace in the living room - very simple mantel!
The Christmas tree in the living room - and I am most fond of the vintage water ski's just hanging around! The tree was filled with white lights - and what was most interesting about it was that they had used 3 sizes of lights and it looked amazing!
Warehouse cart as coffee table - you know how much we love our warehouse carts!! You can kick them, jump on them, sit on them, spill on them - and they just keep looking better and better!
On the stairway landing - the buffet/storage piece they found at a garage sale, bought the pink pony at SHR and a new mirror - what a great combination! Add some greens, hang a few ornaments from the chandelier and you have instant Christmas!
The window over the kitchen sink looked fabulously simple with clear ornaments and greens and lights on the sill.
They have some of the greatest vintage fans ever - and this one on top of this great table - yep, I tried sneaking it out but just couldn't make it happen!
Fireplace mantel in the basement family room! It was so funny to walk in and see the Holiday Inn sign - one that I had done years ago and they bought long before they were part of SHR!
A built in desk/game station area on one side of the basement housed this great small bike in the corner! Thought it was a great idea!
A new piece for game storage and family photos - and I love the vintage skis and suitcase just plopped in the corner!
Vintage piano and another of their great vintage fans - and a piece of an old windmill as art!
Over the bar area was this great architectural piece and three vintage boat cushions - love, love, love! Unfortunately, I couldn't reach them or they would have been in my car too!
Build in buffet/storage in the eating/gaming section of the basement with an old keg as art.
Just gotta love this toboggan table in the hall! It simply rests on a long console table - when you don't want the toboggan - take it off!
One of the 2 tables in the eating/gaming area! They re-did this one and just added mix and match chairs to it and the banquette! A perfect combination!
Thanks Brad and Amy for sharing your home! They had some great outdoor ideas too - next time I am there in the day time we'll share those with you to!

The Bud's Christmas Story
Once upon a time in a village called Buffalo there lived a clan of little people called Buds. Now this was a happy little clan of people who loved to dance and sing and laugh and be silly and they all loved each other very much. BUT most of all, the Buds loved to create things. They would sneak out in the night and scavenge dumpsters and burn piles and roadside ditches and trash heaps and then drag all of their treasures back to the castle.
The excitement they shared upon their return was contagious as they all turned everything over and over and ooohed and aaaahed and shared all of their ideas for the wonderful things they would make with their “treasures”. They divided them up – each taking the things that they could turn into the best creations. And soon their workshops were abuzz with the sounds of hammers and drills and paint brushes and glue guns and staple guns. Soon there would be piles of treasures turned into beautiful tables and buffets and chairs and lamps and trunks and beds and cupboards – and some of their treasures turned into wonderful works of art and doodads and thingamajigs and whatchamacallits and whoseits.
When Christmas time came around the Buds got even more excited and went into over drive! The commotion in the workshops was intense! The hammers hammered faster and the drills drilled louder and the paint brushes slapped in overtime as the clan worked with their treasures turning them into extra special wonderfully awesome treasures to share with everyone! They added bits of sparkle and ribbon and greenery and stars and glitter to their treasures – all the while shouting out Christmas carols as they worked! Soon their piles of finished treasures was stacked to the ceilings – in fact some of them were hanging from the ceilings – and they had to move some of them out in front of the castle to make room for everything!
The Buds were so proud of all of their treasures and were sure that there were others out there like them who would LOVE treasures made out of other treasures – so they decided to open the castle doors on December 1,2,3 and 4 to let the entire world share in their excitement! Then they decided treasures weren’t enough – they would serve coffee and cookies, and give presents, and stay open late on Thursday nite, and sing carols and wear funny hats and share not just their treasures – but their love as well!
So, they have asked me to let you know that they will be waiting on Thursday, December 1st at 9am and will stay open all the way til 9pm – and then do it all over again on Friday and Saturday from 9 to 6 and on Sunday from 10 to 5! AND IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH – they are going to open up the castle doors again on Saturday, December 10 and Saturday, December 17 from 9 to 6 both days to give even more of you a chance to share in all of their treasures! (Be sure to check facebook and the blog for loads and loads of photos!)

Help Me Out Please!!
Okay guys and gals - I have been having a few computer glitches of late and I lost some of our email list. SO I am asking all of you who are on the list or who want to be on the list to receive our emails to send an email to me at secondhandkris@charter.net
You don't have to write anything and I promise I will try my very very best not to double up any of you! If you just signed up on the email list this last month or in October I know for sure I still have you - but prior to that I'm not sure exactly who we have lost! Spread the word please!
Thanks!
We are working hard on getting ready for the December sale too - we'll start with some photos very soon!

So take a look and see what is new - and then head on over to our face book page (Second Hand Rose Buffalo) and see even more new photos!
A little bit of greenery makes everything and anything into a holiday arrangement!
This is such a comfy little chair - and such a nice size!
This is the most handsome carpenter's trunk that I have ever seen. The inside of the lid is a work of art - and it still has 4 trays inside!
Such a nice piece - storage and display all in one - and lined with beautiful salvaged barn wood.
Red willow in a great metal canister - perfect!
Holiday subway art signs!
Some of Rose's famous artwork - I think this new one is my most favorite.
Junk Christmas tree!
Such a beautiful setting - the stuff great dreams are made of!
I love this little display!
And this beautiful display too!
Another great piece filled with storage and display!
Great seating, comfy pillows, beautiful dishes!
Check out our new Junk Bean Collection of coffees - the perfect Christmas gift!
This little red table is just the best!
What a fun little trunk!
More of Rose's great artwork!
Here comes Santa Claus!
LOVE the cake plates!
What a cool table!
Nice soothing colors!
Letters, great platters, industrial fixtures - yep, we've got it all!

A Little of This - A Little of That - November Has It All!
Just plain pretty!
I am in love with these jars (they are on my Christmas "want" list that I gave my husband!!)!
Love the simplicity of this - just a bit of greenery makes this everyday birdcage a stunning holiday piece!
Just so many fun pieces in this corner!
Love the map over the buffet instead of a painting or mirror!
Violins - or really any instrument at all - make for such fun decor! A sprig of green and ribbon and you have an incredible center piece!
I think this trunk is one of the prettiest I have ever seen. And I love them open - what a great display idea in your home too!
I can't even find words to tell you how gorgeous this piece is - but I am pretty sure that it won't last long!
Star bright, star light!
There is nothing like a carriage robe draped over a couch or chair or on a wall or at the end of a bed or.........where would you put yours?
