Turquoise and Brown

I have a few more pictures I'd like to share with you that Jean, another fabulous customer, sent me. Jean picked up several turquoise accent pieces at Paddywac's to create a serene and inviting porch. One of the great things about shopping in Anoka is the variety of shops. You can stroll from one to the other and gather items from each to create the perfect space which reflects your personality and style! What a great spot to visit with friends or read a book.

Petite Cabinet

My good friend, Chris (we went do Design School together) stopped by the shop last weekend and picked out this darling vintage cabinet (formerly a radio). Looks like a perfect fit! Thanks Chris, it was wonderful to see you this weekend!

Beautiful Sunday Morning

It's a beautiful Sunday morning in Anoka. It's quiet and I can hear the birds singing. It brought to mind one of our many favorite customers, Susie. A few months ago Susie shared some photos of a fabulous outbuilding on their property that her and her husband have turned into a "Cottage Retreat." Hard to believe but at one time it was a turkey shed. Hope you enjoy. Susie has promised to send me photos of the inside which I will joyfully share with you. Beautiful Susie. I'm sure you've have many hours of enjoyment at the "Cottage." Have a great day!

August Sale Event

The finishing touches are coming together at Paddywac's. The store is stocked with fabulous treasures. The dealers have all made their deliveries and everything's been put into place!
We'll be waiting for you.

Anticipating the Sale

We've been hunting and gathering and the store is starting to come together. The process is intense, projects get worked on, hammering, pounding, hanging pictures and "prettying" it up for all to browse and shop. I'll post pictures as they come available.

Time to Reflect and Look Ahead

Hello and Welcome to Nic Nac Paddywac's

It's hard to believe that it has been a whole year since we opened our doors here in Anoka. We must say that we have exceeded most of our goals, and have had such fun along the way! It has been a year of learning, worrying, wondering, sanding, painting, shopping (my favorite part), arranging and rearranging. And, of course, getting to know the fabulous customers and friends we've made this past year.

One of the things we enjoy most is when our customers share their decorating ideas with us. When a customer walks in and is so excited about a particular piece, we all get a feeling of great accomplishment. We especially love it when a customer returns with a picture showing us how the item fits into their home or garden.

We have a signature mix of unique items, most ready for the customer to enjoy in their homes, some pieces are "projects" for the customer who wants to customize their own piece, and we also have some new new items. We are known for our variety and great prices. We are ready to help you find that special item, whether it be a gift, glassware, linens, lamps, pictures, a special piece of furniture, or jewelry.

We would like to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to everyone for helping to make our first year in Anoka a smashing success. We look forward to the years to come and we hope you will join us to share all the new and exciting changes. We appreciate everyone of you!

Fabulous Thusday

JUNE SALE EVENT

Thursday morning, June 10 - Let the June Sale Event Begin!

Happy Thursday morning! Tricia and I were up at the store last evening putting the final touches everywhere. I'm a bit biased but I really don't think the store has looked better. We redesigned the flow which has made a lot more room for those wonderful treasures.

We have a new display of Sweet Romance Earrings. Sorry no pictures yet, but these earrings are just too adorable. Dangles, stones and BLING. They are a must have.

We also have a new dealer C.A.T., or Correen. Correen crafts adorable purses from recycled jeans or whatever and adds belts, adornments, handles and pretties them up. Each one is a work of art and very affordable. Her purse is above. Welcome to Paddywac's Correen.

I'm including some pictures for your enjoyment - just a sampling of all we have this month.

Quick update of pictures before the store opens at 10:00. I'm adding a few pictures you might enjoy.

Have you ever noticed the ceiling in the "tin room."

It's been a busy week at Paddywac's and very exciting. Last Sunday we were part of a filming for a short teaching film that will be aired on Cable sometime after the end of March. The film crew first set up their filming at Avant Garden (our coffee shop) just down the street where they also filmed. It's a short film about two people who meet online and then in person at a coffee shop, followed by scenes of them shopping. It should be interesting to see. We're very proud to have both spots in the move.

Well, back to reality. The shop is ready - all spruced up with terrific new finds. We open tomorrow at 10:00 and hope to see you all.

A big THANKS to all who visited us this weekend.

We added a Friday and Saturday "sale" this month and would like to thank everyone who came to shop at Paddywac's. Lots of new faces - and some who couldn't make it to the usual open weekend. I'd like to share with you a few pictures - just to get the creative juices flowing!
