They have awesome unique jewlery, including some amber pieces and fossilized wooly mammoth bone that I would LOVE to add to my wardrobe. The have gallery quality, high end items that made me salivate. They have some of the most beautiful hand-carved and painted totems I've seen anywhere. They also have some vintage Native craft items that are absolutely stunning. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a really incredible store... a real surprise on the Spit. Avoid the cheesy t-shirts and what-not and save your pennies for Inua. You will go home with something wonderful and unique. Just a warning... leave children outside... this is not the kind of place you'd want to risk having a boo-boo.

So -- here I am in Frigid but Gorgeous Homer, Alaska without a hat - freezing my ears off, and planning to go out on a boat on Thursday, where I KNOW it's going to be 20 degrees colder. And there on the boardwalk in front of me is the Alpaca Connection, with a plethora of sweaters, capes, jackets, blankets and -- HATS! Even at $25, I had to have one. The hat I settled on actually was on sale for $18 and wasn't made in Peru of Alpaca wool, but rather came from Ecuador, which is still okay. It will keep me warm. After leaving the store, I strolled into a souvenir shop a few doors away and found an acrylic knitted cap bearing the logo "HOMER, AK" for less than half the price. However it didn't have the panache of mine!

All by local artists and some of the stuff at reasonable prices (by gallery standards). The exhibit I got to see - Ryan Romer - Yup'ic/Athabaskan artist from Anchorage - was quite inspired. Gives a great vibe as to the kind of fresh, creative art this gallery wishes to promote. Feels like a peaceful, well-curated place. Great place to pop in, while away a little time, feel inspired and maybe even find a nice gift or art piece for yourself without going into debt.

Something I haven't seen since leaving the lower 48- big cities like Philly and NY- a book store that left me speechless. It literally made me cry. Given how everything is moving toward AI and libraries get rid of old books nowadays, and our government has become one of gaslight and denial, books and bookstores like this will be the only preservation of the truth that remains. Precious things these are. The oldest book this bookshop has is from the 1600s. Wow.
