Come get ‘em!

Main Floral’s Donut shop… opening for Riverfest, this weekend!
Mini Donuts on Main Street
Saturday July 10th 2010

Stop in… See our Art at Main Floral!

Main Floral exists in the Historic city of Anoka Minnesota…

a popular shopping place for antiques. In recent years the trend has changed a bit… to say the least.  Anoka is showing off local artists, repurposed and handmade gifts, and interesting finds to boot.  There are many quaint shops open 6 day a week… and also many occasional shops that are only open a few times each month.  For more information about Anoka’s shops and services check out rediscoveranoka.com for upcoming events and an Anoka shopping directory.  Local Artists are finding a market in Anoka Minnesota and the community is pretty excited about it!  When you’re looking for a unique gift or unusual treat… Downtown Anoka is the new happening place to explore.

Come in and explore our Art.

We’re mostly about flowers here at Main Floral… but we have plenty of space and ambition to show off local Art and functional Art as well. We’ve dabbled in a little of everything… from jewelry to canvas paintings.  So, don’t forget to stop in… especially if you’re on the hunt for interesting gifts and Artwork. 

What’s new in the flower shop?

Just recently we added some really cute whimsical Teapot-Teacup lamps made by a cool local Artist.  Since they’ve arrived they’ve become increasingly popular.  Everyone loves their uniqueness, no two are the same.  We’re proud to carry made in Minnesota Art!

Sending our love to You, Corey and Lil’ Yana.

For Dad…

who loves his Ford truck.

 We ran out of this ceramic truck a few weeks ago… because everyone loves it so. It’s available again!… just in time for Father’s Day!

The gift of a fish?

"Bluegus Rebel"

“Bluegus Rebel”  is our cutsie Beta fish looking for a home.

We thought our little rebel just might make the perfect Graduation gift… He comes ready with his own fancy enviroment, a large vase with peace lily plant a top. Bluegus Rebel is a healthy little guy who loves to swim and fluff his pretty fins. He’s so beautiful with his colors of Silvery Blues and Violets! Beta fish need specific care, but are one of the easier fish to care for. When you come pick him up, we can go over the care instructions with you. We named him “Bluegus Rebel”… but if the name doesn’t suit you…we’re sure he wouldn’t mind if you renamed him. For more information call 763-421-7411.

Students Graduate and Teachers Retire 

Congratulations!

Young adults are graduating and finishing with big accomplishments. Teachers are resting for the summer, some are saying their final goodbyes as they look forward to retirement.

Our flower orders are telling of school happenings! Corsage and Boutonniere orders have trickled in. (for those who will be deeply missed in the education world) Graduation bouquet orders are also trickling in. In few days we’ll be quite busy here at Main Floral, filling these special orders for these grandiose occasions.

This time of year brings change to many. Both young and old are closing chapters, transitioning and changing directions in life. Many of them are moving on to bigger things, it’s just another beginning for them. While others are settling down into a more restful time in their lives. Finally getting time to slow down and smell the roses. So…Congratulations for all your achievements from Main Floral! You deserve flowers!

Memorial Day 2010 Headline

When reading headlines this Memorial Day, We found a tender tribute that was worth repeating.

“B-17 bomber dropped flowers over the Statue of Liberty in a public Memorial Day tribute to seven CIA employees killed in Afghanistan.”

There are a great many to thank on this day, including the soldiers currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thank you… to all of you… who have sacrificed your lives for all of us.

We’d love to know what you think!

What is important to you? What would make ordering flowers online easier or more satisfying? We’re designing a new Main Floral Website. Our current website as it is… well let’s just say it works, but we’d like to give it more Main Floral personality. To our best customers: Leave a comment! Let us know what you think. Any Ideas for our new website?

We are so thrilled and satisfied with this Mother’s Day business so far…

Unlike Valentines’s Day, variety is key. The Roses are here and pretty, but not top players. Garden flowers such as Peonies, lilies, chrysanthemums, alstroemeria, lilac, madagascar jasmine, dendrobium orchids, beronia heather, tulips, snap dragons…there’s too many to list! All of our favorite flowers are striking and the designers can’t wait to get their hands on them. so much inspiration, variety and color everywhere… Our minds explosive with ideas and imaginative compilations. 

Getting fresh flowers everyday of the week… is a work of love.

A lot of careful prep, cleaning and caring for these delicate blooms… It’s a  little like babysitting…except flowers don’t cry. We even baby talk them as if they were listening. Maybe we look a little crazy to an outsider… but being around such natural beauty can make you feel a bit delirious and silly. We still are quite serious about taking careful measures to protect them and keep them happy… and let us just say this, these little buds are always thirsty! Flower sitting is hard work indeed… but well worth it, a labor of love. There’s a lot of Jaw dropping and oohs and ahhing… It’s sometimes hard to stay on task when surrounded by such precious things. We sure wish we had more time to take snap shots.

Everyone in the flower shop is so helpful during this Mother’s Day busy time…

It really is our favorite holiday of the year. This makes our job exciting…and everyone is in such a good mood! Talk about a dream job! (well this week anyway) Our customers are also so helpful and generous during Mother’s Day Week. When it comes to buying flowers for their Mom… they simply say “Just make it gorgeous!” It’s refreshing to hear ” Just do what you do, you guys always do such a wonderful job.” instead of “How much is a dozen roses?” In return for their trust and open mindedness…we send out masterpieces. Though we have to admit, our designers can’t take all the credit. It’s the flowers that really show off… We’re just the artists with really good paint and blank canvases.  With really beautiful flowers, our art comes alive. Until this “Mom” holiday is through we’ll be taking turns singing in the flower cooler…because we’re so lucky to do what we do at Main Floral. We owe it to our loyal customers who come back again and again. Thank YOU. Continue Reading »
