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!

 

 

  

  

  

 

  

 

  

 

Tea Tasting and Scone Sampling at the French Flea!

 

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!
