It's not a large shop, but there were still some nice items, even though some of the other stuff (birch and blueberry syrup, fireweed honey, teas) you can find at other shops as well. Still, there were a lot of unique gifts. It's worth a step in, even to just say hi or find something that catches your eye.

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!!!

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!

They have some LEGIT stuff that I haven't seen in EONS... fabrics and patterns that I wore in the 70's and 80's... it was mind blowing. They even had stuff from the 50's and 60's.
