Not to mention he sang with his quartet. AMAZING. The candle making experience was so great. I loved getting so much information from the experience. He had such a great vibe.

I'm coming from Atlanta and getting an amazing experience up here in Alaska. I had to let the people know to go see Chester!

Authentic handmade Alaska Native crafts can be a little tricky to find if you don't know where to…read morelook. Most native crafters are cottage industries that don't have permanent storefronts. Craft fairs, word of mouth and art galleries are the best places to find such items, especially when it comes to skin sewing (items crafted from animal fur and hides.) I always look forward to seeing the Iya family at craft fairs because their items are stunning. They have one of a kind fur mittens, hats, purses and ivory carvings and beadwork. Two years ago, I spied a seal and polar bear purse that I wanted desperately but couldn't afford. (Before you get your underwear in a bunch, please know that the native people waste nothing. Subsistence hunting is a way of life here in Alaska.) Finally this year, they had another purse similar to the one I had seen and I practically snatched it out of another lady's hands. I told her if she wasn't gonna buy it to get her mitts off, cause I had dibs. I winced when I handed over my credit card; but honestly I got something unique, beautiful and helped support local craftsmen. Please note, the Iyas are only periodically in Anchorage. The crafts business is a family affair that involves a number of individuals. They can be reached at: 907-248-2850 Kristine Iya Or 907 441-0712. KristineIyq@gmail.com or IyaJulian@hotmail.com

A good place for buying/perusing a wide array of geeky wares and sports cards. You may notice various thoughtful touches throughout the building; the children's books section has small furnishings for little ones to sit and browse, and there is a decent amount of space between racks/shelves that keeps the place from feeling like a warehouse despite having so much product. It is also the one place in town I have been able to locate king-sized Whatchamacallit bars.
