City to City Junkin' Trail Event

A handful of shops (see poster below) are offering an incentive to make your junkin' a lot more fun! Mark your calendars--this event is taking place on Saturday, February 26th! If you own a store and want to jump on the trail of offerings, leave a comment on this post with your store name, location, and what specials you'll have available.

At Ruby Rose a lot of fun things will be happening. The Junk girls will be joining us and selling their handmade bling and art. There will also be a group of Girl Scouts on the premises (think cookies-- yes, it's that time again!). We'll also have a few edibles for you to nibble on while you shop.

Spied at The Rose

This issue of Spied at The Rose has so much style and love between moms and daughters, as well as a lot of style in details. We love the little girl in the blue Holly Hobbie style dress, which was previously worn by her mom when she was young (so cool that her daughter loves it now). Another fave of ours is Sophie, in her Ralph Lauren sweater and pink tutu! Now that is a gal after my own heart. How lucky we are to have spied all of these beauties in our little shop! --S.

New Spring Hours!

Yes! It is Spring here at Ruby Rose--and that means new hours. We are adding an extra day that you can come see us (more shopping days for you!) and our opening and closing hours are shifting a bit so please take note.

New hours starting this week:

Thursday 11-5

Friday 11-5

Satruday 11-2

Those are the hours that you can always depend on rain or shine. Just to let you know we rarely close at 2 on Saturdays (it ranges anywhere from 3 to 5). We are also always open to appointments, staying open later than our normal hours, opening earlier...whatever you need or may need for guests in town, special occasions, etc. Just give us a call.

Quote of the Week

This is the perfect quote, it says it all.

The Alameda Six

Our favorite flea market was finally not rained out this month. It was a clear 70 degree day and three of us represented Ruby Rose. We were all excited. It took one of us about a half an hour to finally focus because it was so overwhelming. Another one of us took off from the crew because the others were moving too slow...and the last one of us kept it cool, although a little common sense slipped her head at one point. For us, this is perfect and normal.

1. This beautiful galvanized tub was our first purchase. There were seven to choose from and this was the lucky one that came home with us. When we went back to pick it up after we finished our rounds, it was sitting alone, all the others gone! Our seller mentioned to us that so many people had tried to buy it. Thank goodness we made up our minds right away!

2. Cake plates. These thick faceted plates are perfect for any table setting--or maybe to make a store bought cake look like a million bucks.

3. Hand-dyed lovelies! These slips are perfect for layering under and over. So current--amazing shades and details.

4. This oval frame with raised glass is amazing on its own, no picture required!

5. Needlepoint pillows are always in style. These large pillows have a mid-century feel.

6. Jenn captures the colors of these flawless beauties perfectly! Not only are these amazing blankets, they are also a work of art.
