December 9, 10 & 11 - "More Please"

We weren't sure how we'd pull it off but we are ready for weekend #2 of December, "More Please." You asked for it and I hope we delivered. There's lots of new items including birch bark and twig arrangements, adorable cedar deer, winter scene bark cloth pillows, new jewelry and of course our usual fresh finds. We've put some extra hours in turning the store over so it is once again new to you if you visited last weekend.

This Saturday we will also have Angela Carter from Alternative Chic giving a trunk show with more of her original recycled copper jewelry. It's a trunk show you don't want to miss plus she'll be taking custom orders if she doesn't have what you are looking for.

Celebrate!

It's here, it's December, it's Re-Treat "Celebrate the Season"! We've got lots of things to love including: primitive snowmen, crystal candleholders, homemade soaps, local honey, unique jewelry, vintage sleds, old skis, paper whites, creative household decor and more. Stop in throughout the weekend as we will be continuously adding new goods each day.

December - Two Weekends of Re-Treat

The holiday season is here! We will be giving you two weekends of Re-Treat this December in order to provide you extra opportunities for holiday shopping. The first two weekends of December will include "Celebrate the Season" followed by "More Please". Watch for preview photos in the next couple weeks as we are furiously gathering more goods and preparing the store.

Halloween then November

The days are shorter, the nights are cold and the leaves have left the trees. It's only a matter of time before winter snow blankets the ground...

You may not be ready for snow but we are already getting ready for November's opening...holiday traditions. Think dinner with family and friends...snowmen and santas...staying home by a warm fire.

October is Upon Us

Orange, red, brown...these are the colors of Fall. Join us on Thursday night for our October opening and see what we've created for this month's sale. Vignettes of pumpkins, Halloween creatures and primitive finds await visitors this weekend at our "Change of Seasons".

Junk Heaven

If you haven't heard of Junk Bonanza, you have now. This once a year 3 day event, held in Shakopee, MN has changed our lives... Okay it hasn't changed our lives but we now know how we will spend part of our September in coming years. We were lucky enough to be asked to help work our friend Lori Miller's booth at the Bonanza. Lori is owner of Round Barn Potting Company in Andover, MN and if we need to pick one word to describe her (and her store), it would be "inspiring". We arrived on Wednesday to find a dozen birch trees, some two by fours and plywood turned into French shipping crates, 7 vintage dress forms, a couple gutted chairs, and many odds and ends transformed into a work of art. Some moss here, some beads there, and the space was beautiful! Here's a couple shots to give you a taste...





Throughout the show the three of us were able to rotate between working the booth and hunting for more goodies. We found lots of fun things and many new ideas amongst the 100+ booths. Here's a few random shots from the show...





And yes we brought back many goodies for Re-Treat's October opening..be there early so you don't miss out!

Autumn Splendor

Days are getting shorter and leaves are just starting to change colors....It seems we were just thinking spring and already we are on the doorstep of fall. Pumpkins, shades of orange, falling leaves, halloween...these are things we love! Visit us September 10, 11 & 12 for lots of new finds and fun creations...

Thanks for a Great Weekend

We enjoyed all our visitors over the weekend. Thanks for the kind words and sharing your excitement while you explored the store. Also thanks for helping make some space by shopping Sunday's Flea Sale.

We'll once again be flipping the store around for September's "Autumn Splendor." Sorry but you'll have until the second weekend of the month as Labor Day Weekend is reserved for fun outdoors. Hope to see you then.

Preview pics...See you on Friday (and Saturday)..(and Sunday)

See You in July..

It was another fabulous weekend of great finds, good people and enthusiasm. We thank you again for stopping in and exploring Re-Treat. We enjoyed everyone's excitement as they discovered the store for the first time or were returning guests. For those that don't know, we continue to restock treasures throughout the weekend so it's worth stopping back.
