Awesome helpful sales gals? Check. Reasonably priced? Yes. Stacked sales and clearance racks? Yes. Better than any mall store?! Yes yes yes! Ok so I really had so much fun shopping in here! During my sunny beautiful weekend in Leelanau county, I was taking a break from all my adventures in the sun and went shopping. I had been in a few haystacks and while I liked their clothes and accessories nothing really stood out to me. However I loved the styles at Cottonseed. I like to describe my style as something like boho chic or ethnic and they had a ton of cute styles that flattered my tough-to-shop-for figure. After nearly an hour running in and out of the fitting room and numerous convos soliciting advice from the nice workers there, I finally found a cute pink linen simple dress with ruffles at the edges, soft white leggings to go with it and fair trade glass earrings from Guatemala. I really had the hardest time picking out which earrings to buy, I wish I could have gotten more! They were all gorgeous. The prices were a little higher than what I would have liked to pay, but still reasonable for being a boutique in a nicer town like glen arbor. When I visit northern mi again I am excited to check this store out again!

Fleet Feet goes above and beyond what other shoe stores do to help customers find comfortable…read moreshoes. The salesman began by having me stand on a 3d foot-scanner to get a digital image of my feet. Sounds gimmicky, but it has practical value. The salesman immediately saw that I'd need support for the arch on the right foot. As a result, he brought a couple different inserts out with the shoes, so I could test them out when I walked around the store. Another thing: FF carries shoes in my size - 15. Size 15s are tough to find in stores. I typically have to order them by the mail. Since I can't try them on in a store, I typically have to send them back. Even better, FF had size 15 Hoka shoes. There's no shoe in the world that can make my sixty-eight-year-old feet feel completely comfortable. But Hoka shoes get closer than other brands - even the Pearl iZUMi and New Balance shoes I've had luck with in the past. Finally, FF's sales people are pros. They know their business. They're friendly and considerate. And they want to get a fitting right. They allow the customer as much time as they need to try on shoes, walk around, then try on other pairs.

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.

Absolutely darling…read more I must admit, despite having recently acquired (ok, he's mine -- I aquired him through 9 months of torture) a baby -- I shy away from "baby boutiques." Many that I've been to are way overpriced with very little selection, so I tend to stick with online shopping or larger department stores. HOWEVER. Sweet Pea. Exception! I was graciously given a Sweet Pea gift certificate and so I popped in before departing TC -- I should've given myself more time. There is such great selection, it's almost like a mini department store. Many stores within a store as they carry several brands that operate sort of like small displays within the store. My FAVORITE brand Aden & Anais -- oodles of stuff. Heaven. They also have great clothing like Tea, etc. The stroller selection is out of this world. Seriously. Wow. If you are looking for ANYTHING child related, this is your place. Great for gifts of course, but truly even for your own kids. I spoke with Jeff (the owner and father of FOUR!) and he is truly knowledgable about all of the brands and extremely involved in the products he offers. Him and I went to the same high school! The staff was also very friendly, helping me with sizes and showing me a few things I didn't know about. Sweet Pea is everything that a baby/kid store should be. Right in Downtown TC. Lucky ducks! I'll be making frequent stops on my trips to the native land. All around a classy operation. I walked away with an A&A sleep sack for upcoming travels, a cherry onesie (couldn't resist) and some other organic cotton outfits that this little babe has already worn several times. Very high quality. Don't be intimidated -- this is not your run of the mill overpriced kid boutique, this is the real deal.
