What an ahhhh-maaaay-zzzing woman, so full of local historical knowledge she would make an excellent town ambassador! Unfortunately, I never realized there was also a museum on site to my detriment. I mentioned my meeting with Michelle to some other shop owners and all expounded praise upon her as being one of the very few locally owned jewelers in town and her expertise was bar none. Apparently, aside from 5 or 6 other jewelry stores, all the others are either owned by global corporations or the cruise lines! Whether you want jewelry or not, this is a stop you should NOT miss, even just to say "Hi" to the very friendly & welcoming Michelle. There is just so much in the store to feast your eyes on and don't be a dummy like I was and miss the museum!

It tells of the history of Skagway, Alaska, and the area. Very interesting. We bought stuff and then realized we didn't have enough pennies for the penny press. I asked the staff if we could get some change in pennies. She looked for the shiniest pennies when I told her it was for the press. That was so kind of her. Great service!

Then something caught my eye here--not the usual --and I entered. The majority of the items in this shop were unusual--the kind of perfect gift I love to give. I spotted an elegant, almost spiritual carved pendant that just captured my attention. I admired it but left the store thinking that I really didn't need any more jewelry. I walked to the next corner before I realized that I did. I just could not leave the beautifully carved pendant in Alaska.

After a long port day in Skagway (which for a small town has a surprisingly lot to do even without…read morepaying for a shore excursion), my wife & I stumbled upon this museum. Before we got back on our cruise ship, we saw that the museum was still open and wandered in. It was the late afternoon, so it wasn't too crowded. We were able to go through the exhibits and read through the signage without too many other people crowding around. And we also caught the last showing of the short documentary in the theater (4:00 PM start time), which lasted about 30 minutes. We learned a lot about the Alaskan Gold Rush from this movie. The entire experience was free. In the lobby, there are rangers to answer any questions, a small gift shop, and most importantly, a clean publish bathroom!

I don't usually buy jewelry from a store I am not familiar with and in a tourist area, I am even more apprehensive.

Other gift shops in town have stuff geared towards the youngins, but not with this kind of selection. Clothing-wise, I saw things sized newborn-young children. The hoodie we bought my girl wears sized 3T, which was the largest size in it, so lots of teeny sizes. I'd highly recommend this shop to anyone looking for a gift for a baby or child. (Yeah, it's pricey, but it's a gift shop in Skagway, so that's a given.)

My hobbies compel me to sniff out fabric and yarn stores because the promise of a creation is always taunting me. Can I make something cool with a bit of this and a dash of that? Of course! Enter Changing Threads/Uncommon Threads/Rushin' Tailor (three businesses, one name). Like any good quilt store, the cottons are piled high with bolt upon bolt promising a thrill and a chill for anyone with a wish and a dream. My waxing poetic aside, the choice and sales were good--for Alaska. I picked up some Raven Frog Fiber Arts (based in Sitka, AK) roving to spin. The store was busy, but each employee had their job down to a science. Can't do better than that. Accessibility notes: Shop can get crowded. Narrow aisles for customers with mobility devices. No braille signage.

There's a very nice selection of locally dyed yarn, all of it pretty reasonably priced for luxury goods in a tourist town.

Nice to know I'm supporting a local artisan with my tourism dollars. There was also a fun selection of buttons & notions & the like. Drop in & browse for a bit before you have to get back on the boat!
