I love the staff recommendations and have found a few of my favorite reads here including picture books for the kiddos! The bookstore had helped me order a few unique books I couldn't find anywhere else quickly, efficiently, and affordably! Why go to a big box store when Fireside is better in every way?

I guess you could call this place a gift shoppe. (That's how it is advertised)…read more But it feels more like a mini department store (minus appliances and that kind of stuff). There is everything from lotions, to Alaska clothing, to puzzles and toys. There are fuzzy and comfy looking socks. They have lip balm and magnets, soaps and all sorts of coffee cups. There are cute signs, snarky signs, and everything in between. I even saw a mini zen garden. (I may go back for that soon, so I'm not telling you it's cozy location). It dawned upon me today that this is where I need to go when I need a gift, but I'm not sure what to get. It doesn't seem to matter the age of the person. There is something for everyone. The space is bigger than the humble entrance leads you to believe. It is clean, organized and well put together. There aren't multiple sellers curating the collection, which means someone has excellent taste. Plan at least 15-20 minutes to give it a thorough walk around!

A petrified wood slab, Glacierite, it's from Indonesia, a Celestite Egg, Angeline from Peru, raw Thulite from Norway, raw Shungite from Russia, and a piece of Hemimorphite from China. We were in Palmer for a dog event and saw this store opened up recently being a rock hound we went. For a small store it's impressive the amount of variety. We felt the prices were great of what we bought. There are some stones and crystals that haven't been marked yet and the owner wasn't there to identify them but many are so we'll be back hopefully after they have a chance to label more of it.

The owner is usually there and is quite nice. She takes a genuine interest in her customers and even updates her consignment stock on Facebook. She has a pretty large selection of cloth diapers, inserts and anything you would need to diaper your babies bum. She also has amber teething necklaces, salves, diaper detergents and some toys. Didn't Love: It is a great spot - a little small, but still provides most everything you could need.

I didn't know about ABB when I first started gathering my stash, so I ordered some stuff from Amazon. I REALLY wish I hadn't, but I just didn't know the wonderfulness that was just around the corner. I picked several types of inserts and snappy pants from Amazon... without being able to see/hold/examine them, I got some good and some bad ones. I also paid the same or more than I would have at ABB for some of them. To be a small, local store, their prices are uber competitive. I've now been diapering for just over a year with cloth diapers and still love them. I love the Apple Cheeks (tee hee, I love that name) inserts, but don't like the covers. Any cover that has cloth/fleece around the leg holes, I have come to realize, will wick whizzers straight onto the baby's clothes. The Rumparooz covers also tended to wet the baby. I believe the Thirsties are the perfect ones - at least of the ones I used. Back to the store: they have a great selection of many items. Nursing bras, diapers, covers, wet bags (these work GREAT), many hand-made items... it is a great place to visit and a great place to buy. And another thing that makes this place great (yes, I'm overusing that word... but seriously!) is their consignment option. I've gotten enough back from selling Ellie's infant diaper covers to get a spendy bra and a cutie pair of training pants! And another handful of Apple Cheeks (tee hee) inserts. Great store with a sweet atmosphere, worthy stuff, nice staff and competitive prices. Want more than that? I'm afraid anything more would be too good to be true.
