The French Flea of Anoka at night.  This is what the store front looks like, so when you come to shop you'll be watching for this on main street Anoka. 

Inside you'll find, a lot of black furniture offered at this sale, and at very reasonable prices which have already been totally redone and are able to be put right in your home.

November 27 & 28 the "French Flea" of Anoka Will be Open


Good morning to you all!  Just a few little lines today, to let you know that we are hard at work preparing for you our customers another fun two days of shopping at the "French Flea".  We will be open the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving from 10 - 5 p.m. on both of these days.  Come on in and check out what the vendors have found for you this time.  There will be some fabulous furniture pieces once again to anchor the store, and there will be lots of great gift giving items, entertaining pieces, home decor, hand created jewelry, flower pots and handbags galore.  Also, see photo above of the new great hand made tags that you can add to your holiday gifts.



This lovely table and chairs sold at the last sale, but there is usually a table and chair set available at each sale, and often more than one.   The furniture is wonderfully finished by our talented vendors and it is something that sells quite quickly.  Each item is one-of-a-kind, so if you love it, buy it when you see it, or someone else usually does.

A wide variety of jewelry is available for gift giving.

New eiffel tower themed jewelry available for this upcoming sale dates.

Trademark clock faces with birds will be offered as well.

We will have beautiful silver trays, candle sticks, and other lovely smalls that are perfect for your Holiday entertaining needs.  Lots of fun ideas are shown in displays throughout the store.
These are the only photos I took quickly on Saturday when I was in the shop, but want to give you a glimpse of a few things you might find for sale this Holiday season. More photos will be taken on Friday evening, and I will plan to post another time before the following weeks sale.  Stay tuned.
Thank you once again to all of our loyal customers and for spreading the word about the "French Flea".  We appreciate each one of you!

Photos at the French Flea - Occasional Sale Dates Nov. 12-15

Tomorrow starts our monthly Occasional Sale dates for November.  We will be opening the doors at 10 a.m and closing them at 8 pm.  As you can see by the photos there are a lot of different items that have not been at our sale dates before.  Come on in and join us for a cup of coffee and take in the fresh displays for the Holidays at the French Flea!  Today was a work day for the vendors and a lot was accomplished.  There are signs of Christmas everywhere you look and it should surely get you in the Spirit of the Season visiting our shop.  I snapped some more photos just before I left, so that you could have some more eye candy to entice you to come on in and visit.
















We were even able to open up the back courtyard area to add some fun Holiday items back there.  Who would of thought November would be so beautiful?  We're loving the mild weather and are thankful for the sunshine and warmth for Holiday shopping.  We hope you're enjoying the photo's and our new blog.  Please let us know what you think of our shop by commenting, and we'd love it if you continue to pass the word on about our fun venue at the "French Flea" that we are creating for you our customers.

Taking photos in a hurry at night, doesn't always work, so you'll have to see the below photo for detailing of this nice buffet.

A wonderful black finished buffet

A beautiful pair of lamps, and some cool holiday decor.



                





Lots of wonderful things are in the store for this upcoming week-end.

A wide array of jewelry will be offered.

Fine examples of what you might find at the shop, as well as a lot of surprises, as we aren't done setting up and more items are being added daily ahead of the sale dates as well as throughout the sale week-ends.

Love this vignette!

Cool decorating finds!

Vintage books cut out in the center and fresh greens makes for a great Winter holiday display.

More lodge style decorating offerings.
Plan to stop in one of the sale dates and check out what we have in store for you this sale.  As I mentioned earlier in this post, many items won't be in place until Wednesday, which just doesn't allow enough time to get photos and new details on the blog, so this is just a sneak peak of all we have to offer this holiday season.
A special thank you to all of our wonderful and loyal shoppers.  We truly appreciate your business as well as your gracious word of mouth advertising you've done for our shop.
