Man oh man was this a fun store to walk around in and gawk at the wonderful inventory of 1960's nostalgia. Looking for hippie related clothes, jewelry, accessories.... you'll find it here. You can even pose for photos with a vintage 1960's VW bus. I picked up a sweet tie dye Alaskan Hippie T-shirt and it immediately became my favorite T-Shirt. Peace and Love to all the groovy Yelpers!

Thankfully, most of it is actually MADE in Alaska. I scored some AMAZING handmade soap from Talkeetna that is SUMPTUOUS. I also got an uber cute cuff bracelet at a steal for 20 bucks. I love all their made-in-Alaska jewelry and beauty products. They had some fantastic necklace and earring sets of fused glass in the $80 range that had me drooling. And the bear pajamas with a rear trap door area hoot!

Stuff you that looks just as at home in the bar as it does on the trail. Prana, Patagonia, stuff like that. Selection seems to cater more to women than men, but maybe that's just my own bias? Store clerk was friendly and knowledgeable. Be sure to check out the 50% off racks, great way to get some serious deals!

After a few drinks at the nearby Fairview, and a few failed attempts at dates, I stumbled down Main St. towards the river. Before I hit the end of the 'main drag', I noticed a shop with appealing decor and great energy on the right hand side of the road. Upon entering, I am immediately struck by the excellent layout & display of the items within this cozy, log-cabin boutique. Once inside & browsing, I found myself surrounded with hand made items, hats, stylish gear, warm socks, kids clothes, indie artwork sweatshirts, survival necessities, reggae music playing, and most important of all, Mosquito repellent! The gentleman running the store, was a strapping young 29-year old Caucasian Rastafarian. He immediately directed me to a new pair of sandals, with much to my delight, a built in bottle opener in the sole! I was able to get a wide array of gifts for a myriad of friends and family from this unique shop! I even purchased a Water bottle donning their great logo, that happened to 'Glow in the Dark', for easy locating on those long nights sleeping on the banks of the Susitna River! Although their motto should be "finest selection of hipster trucker hats in the Mat-Su Borough", they carry a grand selection of stylish apparel & accessories for Men & Women, as well as Gear, gifts, and necessities for life 'in the bush', on your pilgrimage to "Into the Wild" dude's Bus! Overall, if you are in Talkeetna, stop into this cute, stylish little boutique, you're guaranteed to find a great gift, or something you absolutely need & can't live without!
