The business I'm reviewing at this location is called Howl Downtown. It apparently used to be…read morecalled Wolfsong Wear according to the Yelp listing. This being an outdoorsy town, owing to its proximity to the Apostles, this store is a natural presence. They have plenty of clothing fit for the area and activities. They're practically a kayaking outfitter, but will also set you up with their own guided sailing tour of the islands. Aside from clothes and kayaking gear, there are bags, stickers, shoes, camping accessories, and a ton of those popular wooden signs with cute, ironic, and sometimes motivational sayings on them. Prices were on the high side, though not surprisingly so. There was only one woman working who seemed a bit overwhelmed. It didn't help that my own confusion about what Adventure Club Brewing was left her equally confused and frustrated. In any case, if you're living that nature life, stop by here.

My wife and I started buying Wolfsong wear long ago. We've attended Bayfield' Apple Fest for the…read morepast 28 years. I bought their jacket about 15 years ago and it still looks like new. Recently the zipper broke. I called Wolfsong and they fixed it with even a heavier zipper than before! It's very rare these days to find a company that makes such high quality wear and backs it with personal, higher than expected customer service. Their clothing seems expensive but after wearing my jacket for the past 15 years, I think it was really a tremendous deal.

What a surprise! I went into this joint as a perfunctory measure while on the island. What I…read moreexperienced was exciting. They have scents that I've never heard of and all their scents are accurate. By accurate I mean smells like the label minus cheap perfume additives. They also had lotion, soaps, t-shirts. CBD body products and handmade candle holders, the birch tree candle holders were cool. One of their scents was something like orange chili taco. Resulting in my immediate demand for tacos. Honestly, it sounded nasty but smelled excitingly accurate and fun! Lover and I had those geeky giant surprise smiles after sniffing the one that makes you crave tacos! I bought the Oakmoss &Amber and Tomato Leaf. The Tomato Leaf smells like the memory of a fresh garden and off the Vine tomatoes. My house will smell like a dirty garden and I can't wait. These folks make candles and live on the island year round. Support these tough islanders. They will ship, so check out their online shop and have a little scenty adventure!

For a small town, there are tons of donations to this place, which is really cool. You can find some pretty interesting items here that make your mouth drop and so you cannot walk out with out it!

It's been a while since I've been back in there, and sadly, since I moved away, it's loveliness has been replaced with better thrift stores, but i have a couple trips planned over the summer to visit Washburn again, so, for sure, I will be making another stop in soon!

And more importantly: --Sale items! I've purchased a number of "sale" ornaments here because I'm obsessed with Christmas ornaments (give me time and my tree won't even be visible anymore), they were cute and they were on sale.

Way back in the day, My grandma worked here for a bit, and she would always bring me home really cool dresses for my Barbies. They were all hand made, and nothing at all like my friends had at the time, so I always had this hunch on my shoulder and acted like I was better. lol. This place is pretty small, so on a busy weekend day, and especially during Apple fest, it is so packed that you may not get to look at everything. Other than Christmas ornaments and what not, they have tons of those cool little Bayfield commemorative things, to remind you of your stay. I like this little shop, it brings be back to when I was just a young girl.
