New Weekly Series: Spied at The Rose!


Our Holiday Event on November 21st was a huge success! During the event, our style patrol spotted so much that we loved. We spied boots, tights, reworked Gunne Sax dresses, embellished handbags, vests and Miss Susie--perfectly styled in her hat, blazer and accessories (bottom left image)!

We can't wait to spy some more......

Would You Like The Courtesy Wrap?

Do you remember shopping at the department store and then going up to customer service for gift wrap? Where you would then look at all the pretty bows and wrapping and beg your mom to get the fancy one? Usually, it was the complimentary plain wrap that she'd chose, right?

What Will You Find at Ruby Rose?

fair isle sweaters 2

A magical collection of "as found" items housed together. Linens, furniture, lighting, maps, artwork, table top goods and interesting items from past days as well as vintage clothing and gently worn current pieces. Our inventory is collected from as close as around the corner to as far as the Texas shows we travel to. One of our husbands calls Ruby Rose a "clubhouse" and another husband refers to it like "a barber shop". The ambiance is friendly, silly, as well as topical.
