We want to thank all our wonderful customers and friends for supporting the French Vintage Market Event last weekend. Without you, we couldn't have done it!

 But now we're getting the store ready for the Holiday Season. 

We have it all - quality, unique, vintage, shabby chic.

The ever popular French Greys, creams, whites and black - repurposed, repainted, revamped and lots of beautiful furniture, gifts, and accessories! Something for very room, mood or decor.

 

 

Hope to see you soon, and you can find us on Facebook too!

 

Anoka Main Street Grand Reopening

We at Paddywac's want to share a special celebration that is happening in Anoka. 

The facelift is finished and it’s time for the BIG REVEAL!  With wider sidewalks, brand new roads, and stunning landscaping, Anoka has become more pedestrian-friendly while maintaining its unique, historic charm.

Join the merchants of Anoka’s Main Street (both East and West) as we celebrate on Saturday, November 10th! Merchants on both sides of the river will be offering specials, events, and giveaways.

Plus, register to win the Grand Re-Opening Prize of $1,000 Anoka Shopping Spree! Eighty additional shoppers will each win $50 in Anoka Bucks…all you have to do is register! (No purchase necessary. One entry per merchant location, please!)

Anoka local merchants will welcome you with independently-owned eateries and an eclectic shopping experience, including antique shops, clothing and gift boutiques, yarn, quilt, and bead shops, furniture and home decor, a food cooperative, a board and ski shop, and an art gallery!

Parking is easy and free! Walk the trails and corridors or visit the Mississippi River Community. Whatever you do, we want you to enjoy the new and improved Anoka. We look forward to having you as our guest!

It was lots of hauling, marking, toting, arranging and rearranging - But We now have it complete and we're ready for tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.  Green Valley Garden center is absolutely wonderful.  Here are a few pictures of just a small taste of what's packed into this wonderful location.  Vintage, painted furniture, frames and other items, antiques, primitive, rustic, refined, and Christmas items. 

 There is something for everyone. 

 

All the vendors have truly outdone themselves.  Everything looks awesome.  There are tons of must have items in every booth.  We hope to see you soon at Green Valley Garden Center for the first ever FRENCH VINTAGE MARKET.
