    Special spot. A friend told us to check this out and we loved it. Beautiful pins and zipper pulls…read more A way more special souvenir than a tshirt.

    (This is more about the online store than the brick-and-mortar one, since Juneau is hard to get to…read morebut anyone can shop online.) I first came across these unique pins at Elliott Bay Books, in Seattle, and immediately fell in love with their quirky designs. Sure, they have the usual flowers and birds for your grandma... but they also have body parts and organs, syringes and beakers, deck chairs and masted tallships, skeletons and whiskey bottles! The pins are intricately patterned and made by hand. You really have to see them up close to appreciate the detail, but these aren't shoddy made-in-China tie tacks. The high-quality craftsmanship is obvious, and I get tons of compliments on mine. Most of the designs also come as zipper pulls if you're not a pin person. Their website is no-frills, but easy to browse and purchase from, and each item has a funny description - you can tell they are serious about their work but have a sense of humor. And the pins are amazingly affordable - most are about $12 and I didn't see anything over $20! You'd pay just as much for some mass-produced trash at a chain store. Shipping is a flat $3 per order and it's FAST. I even got a follow-up email from the company thanking me for my purchase! Even if you're not headed to Alaska anytime soon, if you like fun, unique jewelry with a slightly dark sense of humor, check out William Spear's awesome stuff.
