I'm a big fan of moose-y items, so I get a real kick out of all moose items. Some of the items are cheesey and funny and some items are gift quality. They also have some really nice Alaskan-made jewlery.

Thankfully, most of it is actually MADE in Alaska. I scored some AMAZING handmade soap from Talkeetna that is SUMPTUOUS. I also got an uber cute cuff bracelet at a steal for 20 bucks. I love all their made-in-Alaska jewelry and beauty products. They had some fantastic necklace and earring sets of fused glass in the $80 range that had me drooling. And the bear pajamas with a rear trap door area hoot!

I was looking for Matryoshka dolls, I searched for it in Anchorage , but I had very few choices and many were damaged and expensive. But this shop had the perfect dolls with a lot of choices and were rightly priced, even though it was a touristy kinda place. I visited this shop last Wednesday. There was an old woman in the billing section,she took so much care in packaging the items we bought, especially the doll.. I appreciate her talent and the care she took on delivering the purchased items with all necessary stuff,which could have been neglected by someone else thinking it as unnecessary. This one act of hers made my souvenir even more special ,as it is now more like a gift from her. This place has beautiful hand made paintings, Christmas crib in Alaskan theme , other cool Alaskan stuff and regular souvenirs as in other shops. I would recommend this place for a if you're looking for a truly Alaskan souvenir with lots of options. This shop actually lies right at the entrance to the Downtown of Talkeetna.. Don't miss it!!!

The owner of the store next door went over and knocked on the door and got the man in charge up. He opened the shop for us and what a beautiful store it is. We settled on a great knife and necklace and the owner worked with me on a price. We will remember this store forever and will return some day. Thank you Gil Guenther Stop in and look around

This and the Beadberry patch are the only ones in that cluster that are really worth a visit. They've got some good jewelry and some junk. My companion found an outstanding handmade felted scarf there for a good price. They have some framed Alaskan photographs that were very nice but uber pricey. They also have a small collection of some quality Alaskan craft items. Don't pass this place by just because it's sandwiched between a couple crappy tourist traps or you might miss out on something great!

The person running this shop is friendly and knows her trade.

I didn't see a lot of paraphanlia, this is a brass tax shop that gets straight to the business at hand. They have a decent selection of gummy's, flowers, and such, some are already rolled up. Prices were decent. We did get some gummy's for my wife's sleep. The staff was so super friendly and helpfull. The one thing I have to mentions, I'm not sure if the old bearded guy out front with the dog is the owner or just and employee, but he was an absolute gem to talk with, both about nothing in general as well talking about what the store is, how it got there, and what they sale. Walking in the store, it almost looks like a mountaineering shop, with all the tools of the trade, both well used and newish, hanging on the walls for display. Imagine going to an old ice shack that's a shelter for a dozen climbers airing out their clothes and equipment, and that will start to give the imagery of what this place is like. Very well done, very scenic, very rustic, but not old on the inside. It's a great atmosphere with some very amazingly friendly folks. Even if someone doesn't partake of the product, it's a great stop to see the visuals and hear the old mans stories. Oh, and the gummy's worked great. The fruit punch 10's bit in half did the trick to help with sleep in the land with the midnight sun.
