Decent gift shop with some unique giftware and home decor…read more I assume this shop is somehow connected to the Grandpa Shorter's gift shop down the street, just based on the name. I stopped in on vacation, mostly because the window display seemed kind of fun and interesting and the signage indicated they sold antiques. Well, I didn't see any antiques (total bummer), but I did spy some cute decorative home accents, crafting items, gift ware and seasonal stuff. Apart from that, the shop stocked a lot of "boutique" baby gear, too, including clothing, toys, accessories for the new mom, and stuffed animals. Admittedly, much of the baby gear was quite cute, but way overpriced considering it's for infants and they're only going to wear most of those clothes once or twice. I wasn't super impressed by the level of service, which seemed non-existent. Some items weren't clearly-priced, which I found a bit annoying. Other items just seemed highly marked up. While a lot of it was nice, I just didn't think it was that nice, you understand? More or less, I'd say I wasn't bowled over. They did have some lovely Petoskey Stone jewelry and similar trinkets along that line as well, however, but then every gift shop downtown has those. For a small boutique, it was crammed with merchandise, maybe a bit too much so. It was hard to really scope out anything very well when everything was a bit too crowded. I kept thinking I was going to knock over a tightly-placed display or something. On the other hand, what they did sell seemed to be an eclectic mix, coupled with some very cute things. Unfortunately, everything that I was interested in didn't seem to be clearly priced. What gives? The person behind the counter seemed too busy and was engaged in conversation, so I didn't bother to stick around any longer to find out what I wanted. I felt like I was interrupting the employee who was ensconced in a deep conversation with a friend. For me, bad service is a turnoff, so I walked out. If I'm up that way again, and I definitely plan to be, I'll probably give this tiny boutique a second look because it did seem promising, but if there's no real improvement on the service front, I'll just walk out empty-handed for the second time.

I purchased a $500 jacket and she told me this is the kind of jacket I'd have more a lifetime. It's been three years and the lining is shredding and the zipper is coming apart. I called the shop and explained the situation. The immediate response was aggressive and defensive. The woman who answered first said, "Once it's out the door it's not their problem." She then told me it was on sale and that it's been three years, and I should just find a tailor to fix it. $500 for three years and no offer to help. Not a good place to spend money.
