Don't Forget....

Just a reminder that TOMORROW is our last Sale day until JANUARY 21.  We will be open from 9am until 4pm, many of our items will be marked down for a Holiday Sale.  Tomorrow will also be the last day that we are running the Tocca and Velma Bag Special, with every Tocca or Velma Bag purchase you get a free signed "April Cooks" cookbook.  Otherwise, the cookbooks are available anytime for purchase at $10 each (a great deal).  Hope you all make it out, and we look forward to seeing you then.

Rose Hip has a Facebook Page

Wow, we have jumped on the Facebook bandwagon. Check out our page, like us if you care to, or just stop over for store updates and such. As of now, April will be steering that ship, as I am clueless really...with Facebook that is. So pass it along to your friends and family, and don't forget to tell them to come in this Saturday for our final sale day before we close our doors until the end of January.

Many items will be on super sale and most all holiday items will be marked down!
Come in, have a drink and shop around for those last minute gifts you still need ;)
Hope to see you all then!

Great Gift Ideas!

These items are all so special because they are handmade either by Mom-Mom Velma, myself, April or local artists. Handmade items are the best kind of gifts in my opinion because they are made with such fine attention to detail and of course made with love :) These are some of my favorite handmade items here at the barn that would make great Christmas gifts and stocking stuffers. Hope you love them too!

SALE DAY TOMORROW!

We are open again tomorrow from 9am-4pm, and we have some great new pieces in. We have recently started carrying Lila's famous jellies and jams. This is the best time of year to stock up on these delicious homemade preserves and for only $6.00 a jar, in a variety of flavors...you can't beat it.

Don't forget, there are still a handful of gifts available in our "surprise" gift room, they are only $15 so grab one while we have them. Also, with every Tocca or Velma's Bags purchase you will receive one of April's cookbooks for free, and she will personalize it too!

One of our newest pieces for sale here is Bam's cherry bomb red velvet sofa. This piece was a big part of Viva la Bam and has since retired to the barn. It can be yours for only $900, a steal considering he paid thousands for it. Come in and check it out!

Sneak Peek

Here is a little peek at some of the new pieces available for Saturday's sale, they aren't totally finished yet, but they will be amazing tomorrow! Hope you all can make it out.  Sorry about the quality of pics, it was dark and I had to use the flash.

Isn't this piano shelf awesome, April hand painted the keys and built the shelf 

using a piece of an old piano...genius : )

Holiday Special

We are running a Holiday special here at the barn. With every Tocca purchase and/or Velma Bag purchase you will receive a FREE signed cookbook by April (can be personalized and would make a great gift). There will be new holiday scented Tocca candles coming in any day, and for those who don't know Velma, she happens to be April's mom, and her bags are all handmade and all amazing! Also, I will be posting some pics of new items making their way into the barn for Saturday's sale so check back soon.

Phew.....we did it!

I can't believe we pulled it off, but we did. We wrapped and ribboned, decorated, rearranged, redid, painted and primed for days and days to get the barn ready for Friday and Saturday's sale. It was super fun though and ended up a brilliant success. The gift room was a big hit and everyone was really excited to pick their "surprise" package. April came up with the great idea to wrap 88, yes that is right 88 boxes all pretty with wrapping and ribbon and stuff them full of treasures from our store, some have vintage items, some have handmade, some contain up to $50 dollars in gift certificates to the barn. For only $15 a box, you can pick any package that you fancy, and every package has at least $15 worth of something special in it. Everyone LOVED the idea, and had a lot of fun picking out their gifts, we still have a couple left and they will last until they are gone ;)

Thank you to all of our customers and your kind words of welcome and support for the barn, it is so nice to hear and it makes us feel really wonderful to know that you all love the barn as much as we do! You all are soo awesome, so thanks!

We have many new items coming in, and we will be open the following Saturdays for the holiday (the 3rd, 10th and 17th) I hope you all can make it out next weekend and look forward to catching up then. In the meantime here are some pics of the barn from the past few days. Enjoy!

Tocca for Every Occasion

Now that the weather is getting colder and the holidays are approaching it's time to start thinking about settling in and making the home all warm and cozy.  Candles are my go to for instantly making a room feel and smell wonderful.  Our Tocca candles are by far the best luxury candle that you will ever burn.  They are deliciously fragrant and packaged beautifully in their signature blue box.  My favorite fragrances of the moment are Florence (the barn's signature scent) and Sofia is a wonderful one to burn in the kitchen.  I love to burn Colette in my bedroom, especially when I'm putting on my makeup and primping for the day - it just smells so pretty and feminine, and makes the daily beauty routine feel special.

These candles are not only luxuries that we can treat ourselves with, but they make fabulous gifts too.  I just recently gave one to my girlfriend for her 30th. They would also make a great hostess gift, bridal shower gift, housewarming gift, holiday gift, and of course a just because present.  In addition to candles, Tocca also makes amazing perfumes, lotions, soaps, lip glosses and body mists among other products.  We have the largest local selection of Tocca available here at the barn and we just can't say enough fab things about them.  So next time you need to buy a quick gift for someone special or yourself even don't forget to come in and check out our beautiful display!

The Timeless Tulip Table

I'm not really sure why or how, but our original 1950/60's Saarinen Tulip Table is still available.  Why this gem hasn't been snatched up yet along with the accompanying 4 seats that have been reupholstered in a chocolate chevron stripe is beyond me.  Perhaps it is hard for buyers to imagine how exactly such a modern and sleek style could work in a more traditional home.  I have posted some stellar examples of how you can pair this mid-century modern piece well with pretty much everything.

Our Lovely Tulip Set

Sale THIS Saturday November 19th

Our doors are opening again this Saturday 11/19 at 9am until 4pm.  In the meantime, we are busy little elves getting ready for the holidays and planning some really great surprises for down the road...as in right after Thanksgiving.  Yes, we will be opening our doors the day after Turkey Day for (dare I say it) Black Friday!  So save up those pennies because you are not gonna wanna leave empty handed ; )

Look familiar?

I thought I would share some pics of some recent projects.  These are pieces that have since been completed and you have probably seen in the barn but sometimes it's fun to see the creative process.

The wood used for these rustic signs is actually the original barnwood from Rose Hip.

I am currently obsessed with rub and buff, it comes in a ton of shades and gives everything you use it on a hand rubbed leafing that looks pro and is super easy and fun!  We redid this bench in the silver leaf and I love it.

This piece literally made it in and out of the barn in a couple of hours time so I just have to show you this stunning dresser that April did a few weeks ago (right before Halloween).  If you look close, she actually hand painted a nighttime street scape of Thornton, that is Yellow House and Barefoot Yoga in the picture.  Of course a local customer noticed the piece right away and scooped it up just as fast : )
