A Few French Flea Photos for the Upcoming March Event

Join us at the French Flea March 11-14 for our next monthly occasional sale event.  March theme for the event will be a combination of  "Old Marketplace" and "Wining About Winter".  Thursday evening we are open until 8 p.m. and a wine tasting event will be put on by Pumpkin Liquors of Anoka.  Hope to see you there!
Gretchen, our local jewelry designer of Mimi-Toria's Designs, has been busy creating a lot of fun vintage redesign pieces for you to purchase at our March sale.  There will be everything from simple resin pendants with a French theme, to her signature piece pocket watch/bird style necklaces, to simple vintage skeleton key necklaces and than a nice array of detailed pieces. What is extra special is that each of her creations are all one-of-a-kind designs.
There will be some great black, white, ivory or grey furniture pieces ready to be purchased and placed directly in your home.  We pride ourselves in selling furniture that is ready for that perfect spot in your home with no need to repaint, or refurbish it.  The work is all done for you with our paint aritisans that specialize in creating wonderful one-of-a-kind painted furniture for you our customers. 
   Lots of great smalls will always be offered at our monthly sales.  Creamware pictures and other neutral pieces set off and fill this lovely primitive cabinet.
Gretchen even has a wonderful vintage pitcher that she's created into a one-of-a-kind wearable piece of art and has included other fun elements with it.  You could say, we have pitchers in all sizes in our shop.

Stop and shop often, as we are always adding new items as things sell.  All of our vendors are working hard to create and re purpose great treasures for you our loyal customers for this upcoming event.  We work 27 days of the month, so that the 4 days of the sale can be filled with great finds available for purchase.  Won't you plan to join us for our special wine tasting event?  Hope to see you soon...

By the way, more photos will follow as the shop gets set up in its full splendor, so check back often on the blog as next week should provide more sneak previews.

The Pictures I Promised!

 

As promised, more pictures!  I have to actually thank Gretchen for the use of her camera, as I forgot mine at home.  My bad!  And after a little technical difficulty, I was able to post the pictures.  Hope they were worth the wait!  I think the shop is looking amazing.  I love how it all came together.  Enjoy!

This just in!  We are thrilled to announce we've just added a special treat for you!  This Thursday at 10:00 am, we will be having Linda and Andrea from The Mad Hatter Tea Room serving you up some of their delicious scones, along with their amazing tea.   If you've had the privilege of dining in their tea room located in the old Anoka Post Office, you know this is a very special treat you'll want to plan on attending.

And we've been very busy bee's, putting all the finishing touches on the store.  We think you'll be pleased at what you find.  Remember, we restock daily so come early and often.  See you at the Flea!
