I don’t know HOW, but we failed to mention this on our last blog! (You know, the one about our Thanksgiving hours and shopping locally this holiday season. :) We were distracted.) Anyway, we don’t know if you know this, but we don’t ONLY have an adorable, small town, shoppe to sell our favorite candies out […]
We can’t believe Halloween is just a couple days away. It seems like it’s been going on for an entire month here in Anoka–oh wait, it has! It has been so much fun for us, too. We’ve loved the parades, the fun costumes, all the activities, games and events that have happened. Next on our […]
Well, here we are on day one of the World Series, chompin’ away on our Big League Chew and thinking about how this stuff always made us feel so cool and like we were in the big leagues when we were little. (Despite the fact that catching a fly ball wasn’t even something we were […]
October is our month! It’s the month of spooks, and tricks, and pumpkins and treats. (Obviously, we come in at the treat part! Not too much spooky goin’ on in here, well, except for our cooler, that is. That door just likes to open, and close, by itself from time-to-time. It kinda freaks people out :) ) […]
We just adore this time of year–the winds are whipping, the air is cooling, the leaves are falling and the candy is abundant! Here at Sweet River, we love when we get our new candy in. It makes our store feel fresh and new again :) Since October is all about Halloween–we figured this […]
With the first day of October this week, we welcome Halloween to Anoka! When you set up shop in the Halloween Capital of the World–you better be ready to turn orange and black well before the 31st. We just caught a glimpse of all of the events they have planned–parades, family events, pumpkin bowling, movie […]
Maybe it’s the turning of the season and the onset of fall, or maybe it’s just because it’s a regular, old, day–but, man, we’re just loving chocolate lately! We carry an incredible selection of chocolates here at Sweet River. Our favorites though? Chocolate from Abdallah. (Awhile back we posted a blog all about why we […]
Guess what topic came up in the shoppe today? (You might not want to, actually :) ) We started talking about the Holidays! (Roll your eyes, if you must. We have fun ideas that we can’t wait to play around with though. Gotta get a jump on it! Now, I just wish I could do […]
Hey, September! Welcome :) We’ve recently gotten over our mourning of another summer gone and have now, instead, decided to embrace Autumn in all of its leaf changing, chilly weather and blustery glory. After all, Fall is pretty welcomed around here since, you know…Anoka IS the Halloween Capital of the World and all :) (Find […]
We hope that school started off on a GREAT note this year! As we sat down, in a beautiful. the-kids-are-back-at-school-silence, we started thinking…it seems like pretty much every week we’re blogging about the joys of candy, posting sugary photos and pinning new candy recipes. Everything we do is all about the sugar! We are incredibly aware […]
Well, here we are, smack dab in the middle of the Minnesota State Fair, less than a week from sending the kids back-to-school and at the verge of another Labor Day weekend. (Holy cow, that came quick!) Lots of shops are bringing in the fall stuff already…but, we’re happy with just a little more summer. […]
