I have a medical alert service dog that wears a vest. The owner of the store, from some distance away, asked me if she was a service dog. I said yes. She then asked me if she had her vest on. It is not required that a service dog wear a vest. But I said yes and showed her the vest. I told her that it is not required that a service dog wear a vest. I always make sure that I have the vest on my dog because it just makes life easier. She said "this is my store and my law and yes, she has to have a vest". To reiterate, my dog had a vest on. I turned around and walked out. I will not spend money in an establishment that treats people with disabilities the way she did.

This is located in beautiful Cross Village, Michigan - if you go through the Tunnel of Trees from Petoskey to Cross Village do try to stop in!

For those of you who still like to hold books in your hands and turn pages, Island Bookstore is…read morehere for you. This is a cute little bookstore that's tucked into a small shopping center area off of Main Street. Mostly, this bookstore specializes in regional and Mackinac-specific books and gifts. You will find some popular commercial books, but this isn't like one of those big chain bookstores. This is a niche bookstore, where you can find books about hyper-local topics. You'll also find things like maps, bumper stickers, magnets, calendars and other things like that -- mostly about Michigan and island life. They also have a huge selection of children's books, plus some toys and plushies. When I visited at the end of the tourist season, they were having a huge sale. Books were anywhere from 25% to 40% off! So, I guess if you're looking for a deal, the time to visit is at the end of the season, when they're trying to move product.

I try to help the local economy with my shopping and really enjoy the conversations when they happen. This store didn't have the moccasins I was looking for but he did have some neat little souvenir trinkets that I bought for the folks back home, and some postcards that were different than the ones I already had. They also have a lot of leather goods and Indian jewelry. The guy behind the counter was very helpful and friendly, taking the time to help me find just the right items and making the excursion fun. Customer service and having fun. That's what I like. 102811

Each room is wall to wall filled with different finds that everyone will enjoy. I especially enjoyed the room filled with so many things for dog lovers. Hundreds of different keychains with various sayings or names on them. I have 3 dogs at home -- Ellie, Lexie and Charlie. Loved seeing their names on a keychain. I had two of my dogs with me for this trip. My dog, Charlie, ended up sitting outside and howling for me to come back. The ladies in the shop got a good laugh about it! I also picked up some Christmas presents while stopping in. Like I said, there's a gift for everyone here! Take the time to really enjoy it!

The employee who rang us up was super sweet and packaged everything up in a nice gift bag with a ribbon. I just looked it up and I guess it's owned by the Gustafson's (of the Gustafson store with the smoked fish and big Adironadack chair on US 2). Cool to support a locally owned store and get some unique gifts that aren't the super tacky t-shirts that most places up there sell.
