They have them by themselves and incorporated into other artistic expressions. I really enjoyed browsing and shopping here. The person who helped us was really friendly. The prices were a little high but worth it in my opinion. This downtown area has come a long way since growing up here as a child. I hope that people will support places like this so that it continues to be one of the more unique downtown's in the up north. Be sure to check this place out.

This is a great, small town hobby shop, located a little off the main drag, so it's kind of hard to find. I was surprised to see a shop like this in Petoskey, but pleased. I found this shop just before they closed one night while walking around downtown on vacation. I thought what luck, I love coins and there's a coin shop that I didn't even know existed! It seemed like a sign of the divine variety and so I walked in, hoping to find what I'd been looking for in vein- an elusive piece of Canadian silver that no one ever has and yet every coin collector desires. Well, the owner was very nice, had a wide breadth of information regarding coins and knew exactly what it was that I was looking for. Unfortunately, he did not have it. Yeah, that was a letdown, but he gave me some valuable tips and we talked coins and stamps for a bit and we told me he would be on the lookout for the piece I wanted if it came across his store eventually, even though I'm from out of town. I took down his information and everything before he closed for the evening. He was a great guy to talk to, very personable and intelligent. His store was organized well. He had a great variety of things to look at, just not the specific coin that I wanted to fill out a coin book of all Canadian silver. He had a lot of nice, rare items and the prices were pretty good. If you're a real coin collector, you're in in for the thrill of the hunt and love of the hobby, not trying to get the best price or low ball an owner. It's not a money-making hobby, it's a time consuming and money-sucking hobby and I know that. I do it because it's enjoyable. While his shop primarily was concerned with antique coins and paper money, he also had some old stamps, vintage jewelry and other antiques, plus coin and stamp accessories for hobbyists.

On a recent visit to Charlevoix, my family wandered inside and looked around at all of the fabulous gifts and home accessories.

The Value of Family-Owned Bookstores…read more In the age of mega-bookstores, it is becoming a greater challenge to find a family-owned bookstore where you find highly committed people focused on creating great experiences for book-loving customers. My wife and I are always seeking out those family-owned bookstores when we travel across the Midwest. When we walk into any of these kinds of bookstores, we are often immediately introduced to an owner, and eager employees always wanting show a high level of passion for serving the needs of people like my wife and myself. I am often pleased with each bookstore visit and amazed at how successful they are in their businesses, always showing their best efforts to help patrons find great titles. There is something special about a family-owned bookstore. The personal connection, passion for books, and genuine desire to help customers create an experience that is difficult to find in today's world of mega-retailers. Yet there is one one bookstore that has stood far above all the other great bookstores. This great experience begins on the west end of Lake Street in Petoskey. It starts when you walk into and start examining the shelves of McLean & Eakin Booksellers owned by Matt and Jessilynn. You are amazed at the unique titles and their stories that seem to consistently appear on every shelf. Experiencing McLean & Eakin Booksellers is a reader's delight. I have been fortunate to meet Matt and as you listen or watch him you can see an enthusiastic gentleman who takes a personal interest in every person he chats with....and will even go out of his way to help someone. Talk to anyone who works at McLean & Eakin Booksellers and you will see the same unselfish passion and interest in helping someone. So are you an owner operator bookstore patron and visiting Petoskey, be sure your footsteps take you to McLean & Eakin Booksellers. Then stop at Roast n Toast and grab a bite.... your starting points for a great Petoskey day.

A Heartwarming Stop at The Cross Village Gift Shop (I believe called Peninsulas now) - A Must-Visit…read moreon the Tunnel of Trees While riding the Tunnel of Trees on a Great Lakes motorcycle trip with a couple of friends, we made a planned stop at The Cross Village Gift Shop to grab a patch and a T-shirt to remember the ride. It was about 9:45 AM when we pulled up--only to find out they didn't open until 11. We were on a tight schedule and couldn't wait around. Just as we were about to leave, the owner came out the back door walking her dog, Chester. She greeted us warmly and explained they weren't open yet, but asked if we'd be in the area later. When we told her we wouldn't be able to return, she did something truly generous--she opened the shop early just for us. This also meant changing Chester's morning routine, where he usually walks to the post office to "get his mail"--which we learned is code for a treat from the mailman. Still, she welcomed us in, let us browse, and made sure we left with what we came for. It was such a simple act of kindness, but it stuck with us. The Cross Village Gift Shop isn't just a place to grab souvenirs--it's a place full of character, warmth, and heart. If you're anywhere near Cross Village or riding the Tunnel of Trees, make it a point to stop by. Support this small business. Meet Chester. You won't forget the experience.

The merchandise is not the usual stuff you find in the local souvenir shops, but curated with local/regional delights from many local businesses and artisans. You will find something amazing to commemorate a trip Up North. Outstanding service is the next thing that really stood out to me during my two visits to the shop. The shopkeepers are kind and inviting, and are the very definition of "Midwest nice." I could've spent an hour chatting with the saleswoman or the gentleman (who was either the owner or related to the owner). The whole shopping experience was so wonderful, I just had to write a review. If you're ever in the area or nearby, Peninsulas should be a destination.
