Rain is a pain but sometimes it can make for a pretty night shot.

Another store I looked forward to coming back to, partly just for the fun variety, which was even bigger than I remembered, partly because I remembered they had the yarns. I wasn't into knitting last trip, but am a prolific knitter now. I had great fun looking and bought a few skeins to knit as I travel. They had just gotten in some fur-lined clogs and the strap on my lavender ones had just broken the day before, so it was providential to find them here. I bought a pair of the purple ones in my size for $12.99 and wore them every day the rest of my trip. They have lots if souvineer-y type stuff as well, something for everyone, so I do highly recommend stopping in here when you're in town. Oh, and there is also a pressed penny machine in the back if you or your kids collect those. 10/29/16--Back again, had fun looking around, bought a skein of Christmas yarn to make baby hats out of.

Loved that they had Pro Trump stuff! Neat little store has everything you didn't know you needed! Wife and I found new tumblers with Tawas markings on them as souvenirs to a wonderful trip. I would've purchased that Trump 24 hat but my wife told me I have to wait until he actually announces.

Bring a mask and be prepared to wait in line to get in.

This place has absolutely everything that you don't really need- but you'll buy something anyways. It's Hot and Not, Hit and Miss, Good and Gross, Bam and Blah. That pretty much sums up the entire store. It's a quirky, glorified dollar store selling everything you would expect from a souvenir shop in a high tourist location. Was it worth the stop? Definitely! We had quiet a few giggles and belly laughs looking at all the merchandise. My twins each got a lucky rabbits foot for $1 each, I grabbed myself a bloodstone pendant for only $2.99, my daughter picked herself out a few stickers to add to her collection (from places we've vitiated) and my son pick out a microwave bag of Amish popcorn. I spent $11 and change and we were all happy with our picks. Do you really need a tie dyed T-shirt that says Tawas MI blasted across the front or a goofy lawn sign for your travel trailer or front lawn- then this is your place! Definitely worth checking out, even if you don't purchase anything- but you will! LOL!

Never shop here. Many personal reasons why. Just sayin buyer beware. They sell crap. Not anything of quality.

This is a great store. Lots to look at ... unique clothes, chimes, decor at really surprising ("good") prices. Definitely stop in.
