NEWS FROM ROOTS!
We have been buying! OK, we have not travelled the "globe", but we have been out hunting and gathering all around the bi-state area and we've found some fun stuff. Come on in and you just might find that one-of-a-kind treasure that will enhance your home or garden. We also have some wonderful locally made items--the bird prints are by local artist Linda Harre, and the pillows (made of vintage linens and grain sacks) are made by local artist Brandi Whitney. We're here, the shop is full, and we are always happy to see you!
Tuesday-Saturday 10-4.

"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.
