Such a cuuuute shop!! So many trinkets that I admired and wanted to buy!…read more The owner is very friendly. The prices are high though (so I only window shopped). But I definitely have to rave about this place for people looking for a cute spot to buy gifts or to walk around.

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.

We decided to stop and get something to eat, and we passed by this interesting shop. After eating,…read morewe stopped in to look at the items. I was shocked to see some beautiful crystals. 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.

While visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes a friend and I stopped in at this small shop. It was labeled as…read morean antique shop but they have a combination of old and new. 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.

You wouldn't think that the hardware store would become a reoccurring vacation destination, but for…read moreus that's absolutely what this place is. We have loved watching it grow and expand its offerings over the years. my husband being in the maintenance and carpentry fields at times found himself needing things and North Woods hardware has always been there to assist with a cheerful smile. Service has always been friendly and helpful. I love perusing the HomeGoods and I've enjoyed exploring the expanded garden areas no stop to Glen. Arbor is complete without a pop into our favorite northern hardware store.

I've spent money and time here in the past, but never again. Today I went in to buy some paint…read more There was a woman at the paint desk. She said "I'll be right back." She went to the front of the store and started chatting with a coworker. I waited. And waited. Finally, I went up to the front of the store, and on my way out the door I said "Thanks for your help." She replied very contemptuously, "You're so very welcome." I don't know, maybe they feel they have too many customers. If that's the case, I'm happy to help alleviate that situation.

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.

I love wandering the crowded "aisles" here searching for surprises tucked into every little nook. My favorite is searching for retro and unique housewares while I inevitably lose my husband to stacks of records, old periodicals, and photographs. There's truly something for everyone, no matter your interest or preferred historical period. Just be sure to give yourself plenty of time to dig through. You're not going to want to miss anything.

This is definitely our favorite thrift shop in the state of Michigan!…read more It got 10 times better when they moved to their new location which gives them so much more room (though they could still easily fill an even bigger space!) It's been critical for us to clear out things we no longer need (or things that we never needed but were bequeath to us)! And of course we found Treasurer After Treasurer there, From kitchen tools... to blankets...to shoes...to jigsaw puzzles... small furniture items... The prices are beyond reasonable, and it feels good to know the money is going to a great cause. It's just fun to go here and look around, even if you aren't looking for anything in particular, because there's always something that you can't live without! Thank you, Samaritans closet, volunteers, and Leelanau Christian neighbors!

I absolutely loved the items they had in store. Things weren't too expensive, there were a few expensive items but i believe it was justified because they were very grand. the one visit i had to this store has won me over, it is my favorite shop over all. I most definitely recommend.
