While all of the shops in the Traverse City Commons are worthy of a visit this one is definitely my…read morefavorite! It is filled with so many whimsical items perfect for gifting or treating yourself. It is beautifully curated and laid out in a way that you just want to bring the entire section home. The staff is always kind and friendly and no matter how many times you pass through. It's smallish quaint interior you will find something different upon each pass. We never leave without a few stickers and other ass sort of gifts. Price is very between reasonable and high, but when you're in a place this whimsical somehow you don't mind treating yourself.

I found a…read morestash of vintage valentine cards so I bought three for $8 (one didn't have a price tag so she gave it to me for free--so nice), and she put them in the cutest little bag. Overall amazing selection of items and I loved that each room had an organized theme. It's down a staircase and is a pretty small shop, but there is so many unique things to find.

It's cool. Small space be aware of you are claustrophobic. Down a staircase, take it slow.read more

They even had the unique shiva that can be hard to locate and overpriced. They had fossils and rocks as well, especially the petoskey stone. The items were fair priced too. They currently do require face masks and the restroom is closed. However, the lovely worker with an awesome accent instructed us how to get to public restrooms a short 2 minites away! We love this cute shop and were excited that we saw it.

I think "original gifts" would be more accurate. They have jewelry, items for the house and garden, old post cards, pottery, masks, drinking glasses...we had a good time just poking around to see what they had. The owner was friendly and asked if we needed help, and left us to wander. We ended up buying stone earrings for $10 each. We enjoyed the store and recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

They also have a pretty nice variety of foodstuffs like snacks, jams, candy, etc and other packaged edible goods. Some of the makers are local to Michigan, but they also carry things from out of state. The style of the kitchen and home decor they carry typically trends towards the more colorful and whimsical (which is 100% my vibe) though they do carry some more neutral options for the more minimalist shoppers out there. Whenever I visit I usually pick up one or two items (like a cute dish towel or one of their small prep bowls) for the home and a couple of their packaged pantry goods like a fancy mustard or jam. Oh, and they also have a Moomer's Ice Cream counter which makes it even more of an essential stop for us when we're in the area.
