"God Bless Mooseheart"

These are two wonderful examples of early to mid-20th century Americana.

Our shop is located in Maplewood’s old Moose Hall, so we have quite a fondness for these wonderful pieces. The smaller piece is lit from within its metal shadow box and measures approx. 17” wide x 15” tall ($72.00) The larger piece is framed and measures approx. 36” wide x 30” tall ($62.00)

“MOOSEHEART CHILD CITY & SCHOOL is a community and school for children and teens in need located about 38 miles west of Chicago. The history of Mooseheart Child City & School is inextricably intertwined with that of the Loyal Order of Moose and the Women of the Moose, two organizations whose stupendous growth during the first quarter of the 20th century was inspired by the idea of creating this beautiful home and community for children in need. 
”

You will notice the clock set to 9 pm in each of the pieces. The fraternity’s Nine O’clock Ceremony was first depicted in oil for distribution to Lodges in the early 1930s, with a Mooseheart child saying a bedtime prayer.

"time" for a change?

Just arrived...vintage clock faces, unique old signage, 4-5" wood print blocks, and as always---one of a kind items re-purposed with a creative twist. Come see us soon!

organize Roots style

Just in! Small metal and wood drawers are perfect for organizing the clutter in your life. In the office they corral pens, pencils, paper clips, etc. In the bathroom--perfect for cotton balls, q-tips, brushes, perfumes. On a kitchen counter they'll hold tea bags, sweetener packets and vitamin bottles. Prices range from $15-$17--organizing has never been so fun!

Stools

Stools. We love them. You can't have too many. We love them as pedestals... flipped over to house books (or other) collections...as that first step up to the sink for your child or grandchild. Stacked...they become a unique signature piece in your room. We have a good selection and we'd love to help you find the right stool for that niche in your home.

JOY TO THE WORLD!

We wish you a joyous holiday and a magnificent new year!

Roots will be closed on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Normal business hours (Tu-Sat--10am-4pm) on all other days.

Thank you all for the gifts of your friendship and your patronage.

Peace. Nancy, Patti and Penny
