Omg obsessed with this store…read more Its in this little town in northern Ontario called blind river, on hwy 17. On the way to Sault ste. Marie or thunder bay, or Vancouver. Haha They are a gift ware store, or as I like to put it 'things you can buy that make your place awesome'. Outside - they have a cute window display, you can tell what you are going to find inside. Decor - country store. It feels nice and friendly when you walk in. Warning, it can be a bit overwhelming. There's a lot of stuff, but its not cluttered and falling off the displays. There's big aisles and you never have to worry about bumping into things or knocking stuff over. Basically you WON'T feel like a bull in a China shop!! Also the shop smells amazing. I want my place to smell like that. Always!!! Staff - everyone is always super nice. Shout out to Shirley! Go when she's working! Goods- all that other stuff doesn't matter unless the goods are good. They are. This things they sell: picture frames, candles, vases, paintings, clocks, purses, jewellery, funny sign, plates, stuff like that. Ok. They have something for everybody, which means you probably won't like everything they have, they have things for babies to grandma's and everything in between. Which is awesome because that means if you forgot a hostess gift or that its grandma's bday you can buy it here. Love the candles. Apparently best sellers!!! Cost- there are a few things that made me think 'how much? It can't be that inexpensive'. But honestly mostly you think of that IKEA commercial where the woman yells 'start the car! Start the car!'

There is "always" unique finds for gifts that you wouldn't find in the box stores and this makes gift giving special. Prices are extremely reasonable and navigating through all the displays is a delight! A must for anybody passing through Blind River or cottaging (this was how I discovered the store.

Traveling Ladders has to be one of the coolest home decor and vintage gift shops that I've been in…read moreto. The backdrop for this shop is a turn of the century drug store that has now been creatively repurposed to meet the needs of any shopper looking for new and some vintage home decor. My favorite part of this shop are the ladders that were used to access items on different shelves at one time. There are two of them made out of wood and cast iron hardware. The store has two levels with the main entry level consisting of mostly modern items that will fit in with the antique farmhouse look. In the back of the store towards the right, there is a set of stairs that will lead you to the upper level where you'll find a large selection of vintage items and household decor. Make sure to take the view once you make it to the balcony, as this is really incredible for what it is. The shop owners were friendly and had a pretty good working knowledge of the building itself. There is a lot of history displayed on the walls and shelves. You're going to need a few minutes to take it all in. If you love vintage decor and small gift items, I would definitely recommend you stopping in on your next visit to Alpena. You'll be glad you did.

I LOVE this store!!! They offer such a variety of artful and unique things for your home and gift…read moregiving! The old drugstore is still there with tall walls of old medicinal bottles and antique ladders to get to them. Just as it was way back when. But below... are TODAYS treasures!! So FUN!

When I ordered a sofa from QM, Missy Fitzgerald probably thought it was an easy sale! When it…read morearrived with flaws, I started to call her with my concerns. I HATE complaining. I felt awful, but I knew things had slipped by inspectors at the factory. She NEVER made me feel like a jerk or that I was a pain. She stuck by me, and worked hard to make sure I was taken care of. Now I have a new sofa I absolutely love, thanks to Missy! I can tell you from experience, QM stands behind their products. Plus, the installers were great! They arrived on time and when we decided the bedroom rug would look better with the sofa, they insisted on helping me move it!
