Folk Art & Upcycled treasures....

We've had a ton of fun...out collecting some great stuff for the shop.  Here are a few photos to entice you to make a trip into Roots (soon!)

Maplewood is hopping again!

This Saturday (5/19) Maplewood hosts "The Taste of Maplewood" (noon-9pm), which takes place on Sutton @ Manchester.  To entice you to come on down our way-- (you will have to maneuver from Big Bend or from Greenwood--as Sutton @ Manchester will be closed off)--we are offering 20% off one item (a few exceptions apply).  We will be here from 10am-4pm and hope you will be here, too!

WOO-HOO---more fun at Roots & in Maplewood!

This Friday is the 3rd Annual Harp Attack from 6-9pm in Maplewood.  The local artists' group show "Together We Stand Alone" is next door @3100 Sutton.  Roots has added some wonderful new pieces for your home and garden.  All-in-all---a fun, creative and inspiring time to visit Roots and Maplewood.  We'll be here on Friday, 5/11, until 8pm (with light refreshments).

Roots will be open until 7pm tomorrow (5/5). A group show of local artists will be happening right next door, in the gallery space at 3100 Sutton. The artists featured include: Mitch Horstmann, Howard Jones, Doug Kassabaum, Belinda Lee, William Morris, Nancy Pierson, Thomas Sleet and Judith Thompson. This will be a fun, eclectic mix of wonderful art. Be sure to include us in your Cinco de Mayo celebration!

GO GREEN!

We are celebrating the 42nd Earth Day here at Roots by offering our customers 15% off one green (and that means the COLOR green) item, on Saturday, April 21. We have some wonderful recycled, reused and repurposed GREEN items for you to choose from. This is a great day to support small, local businesses!

Friday, April 13, closing early

Hey folks! Tomorrow, Friday 13th, we will be closing at 2pm. The sisters are heading off to watch Penny's youngest daughter play tennis for KU. It's the only opportunity this season that we can get to a match that is close to home. Thanks for your understanding. We will be back with (hopefully) a few new things on Saturday, April 14th--regular hours of 10am-4pm. (You know we have to at least TRY to shop along the way!)

Celebrate Earth Day!

Earth Day is coming up fast (April 22)! We're encouraging everyone to pledge an act of green this year... which is easy to do through this link.

All of us at Roots have pledged to buy used, recycled and upcycled goods instead of new ones and we're making it easy for you all to do the same. Make your pledge and then come into Roots to have fun fulfilling it!

Great finds!

Don't you just love the smells and sounds -and the pure happiness that warm weather brings? Hunting and gathering is so much more fun when our hands and feet are warm and dry. And we ARE having fun!

JUST IN!

The primitive green cupboard is absolutely fabulous! It measures 39" long x 15" deep x 32" tall. $375.
We've been asked alot about old canning jars...we now have a great selection, clean & with lids. $9-$24.
