FUNKY, NEW and DESIRABLE

Funky,  new and desirable.  That is how I would describe the Loft on 2nd this week.  We've been out hunting, gathering and creating and now we are ready to bring on the FUNK and the WOW.  Because honestly....isn't that what you need on a cold January day?  We've filled the store with style, patina, panache' and yes....FUNK.
Every week I am amazed at the parade of items our Artisans bring to the shop.  More than once last week as our Artisans brought in NEW finds to fill the spot of a "just sold" item, customers snatched up the new item as it came through the door. We had one spot that never got filled ! AND....if you haven't been in to see our new milieu (see our last post for pics and details) you better get crackin.  Last weeks shopper offered praise and lots and lots of "oooooohs" and "ahhhhhhhs". 

In addition to all of the NEW we brought into the Loft we are participating in "SASSE" - Second Ave Sidewalk Sale Event . Head to the back of the Loft to find some bargains. "SASSE" is Thurs - Sat and is held in the indoor back hallway of the Shops on Second Ave.  Main Floral, AJPurstique, Krista Artista and Chema Malu will all have some treasures for you to discover.

It's "Occasional Sale" week in Anoka. All of the Anoka shops will be open and The Loft will have extended shopping hours.  You can find us on
Weds Eve 3-8P,
Thursday 10-8p,
Friday and Saturday 10-5p and
Sunday 10-4p.
