I have been shopping at Northern Spirits since about 1997. It was then owned by Dave and Maria, and…read morethen solely by Maria. My sister Bert &I spent many hours upon hours shopping, browzing, reading,(great book selections) and visiting with Maria, Mary, and the other customers in the store. It was our fav store in the world and still is. Quality jewelry at unbelievable prices. Items you simply CANNOT find in other stores, such as herkimer diamonds, Wiccan jewelry and charms, literature and smudge(purification sage) sticks for Wiccan as well as Native American purification & protection rituals, as well as craft items like yarns, beads,pearls, crystals and findings for jewelry making and crafting. Patty is the new owner and Bert Edel, who has been there since Maria, is the 1st Mate. She knows everything about beading, crafting, jewelry purchases and jewelry repair. Bert can make or fix anything. I love the store and the people. Its my main reason to go to downtown Manistee! Go visit and you too will fall under Patty & Bert's spell. You'll love it!! The girls bend over backwards to make sure you have the best shopping experience ever. If you cant find something, they will offer to special order or whatever it takes to get what you need.They are beyond phennominal. They are beyond helpfull and courtious. Check it out! NORTHERN SPIRITS ROCKS! Sincerely, Alexis Herne Customer forever

We spend a lot of time in this area and I just happened to finish a stitching piece. I decided to…read moreget it framed here rather than wait until we returned home. The shop has a wide variety of frames and mat with textures and colors. He knew how to frame a stitched piece (not many do). It was finished in a reasonable amount of time- about three weeks. Price was comparable to the other shops I have used. The shop itself has lots of finished framing pieces for ideas. The young man I worked with was very knowledgeable.

Great shop to visit.

Super cool game store that we were pumped and surprised to find in downtown Manistee. My husband…read morehas to visit any game shop he sees so we stopped in and were pleasantly surprised to find a dog, named Rolland, who is a golden retriever to be the store dog (and the employee of the month haha). They had a small area that seemed intended for card games or D&D. They had cards like Pokemon and dice but also lots of family games that would be great additions to a game stash. If you need a new LGS this one is certainly worth checking out, and you may just make a new friend while there (even if it is the doggo).
