My family and I visit Glen Arbor a few times a year, and every time a stop at Imagine That is a…read moremust for me. We always hit Cherry Republic (which is down the street) and then, while my husband let's the kids run around in the (beautifully redone) park across the street - I head to Imagine That to take it all in. The place inspires in me what my husband refers to the "Target-Thousand-Yard Stare" - which apparently the look I get on my face when I browse the aisles of Target, child free. (You know what I'm talking about, fellow moms ;). The shop is beautifully curated. You know that whoever does the buying for this place puts a tremendous amount of heart into the items they select. There are seasonal items like graduation gifts, Mother's/Father's Day presents, and even Christmas ornaments that are perfect souvenirs to remind you of beautiful Glen Arbor in all its summertime glory when you're putting up your Christmas tree in December. They have home decor, coffee table books and a nice selection of candles. They also carry beautifully designed jewelry and a stylish selection of scarves. Imagine That is a small shop, but with its charm and splendor of goods - I always manage to get lost. :).

You wouldn't think that the hardware store would become a reoccurring vacation destination, but for…read moreus that's absolutely what this place is. We have loved watching it grow and expand its offerings over the years. my husband being in the maintenance and carpentry fields at times found himself needing things and North Woods hardware has always been there to assist with a cheerful smile. Service has always been friendly and helpful. I love perusing the HomeGoods and I've enjoyed exploring the expanded garden areas no stop to Glen. Arbor is complete without a pop into our favorite northern hardware store.

I've spent money and time here in the past, but never again. Today I went in to buy some paint…read more There was a woman at the paint desk. She said "I'll be right back." She went to the front of the store and started chatting with a coworker. I waited. And waited. Finally, I went up to the front of the store, and on my way out the door I said "Thanks for your help." She replied very contemptuously, "You're so very welcome." I don't know, maybe they feel they have too many customers. If that's the case, I'm happy to help alleviate that situation.

On a recent visit to Charlevoix, my family wandered inside and looked around at all of the fabulous gifts and home accessories. We were heading to catch a flight back to Phoenix, and had zero additional room in our suitcases, otherwise, we probably would have found plenty to purchase. We also said hello to the official store greeter, Ella - she is adorable! Whether you're on the hunt for a gift, something for your own lake house or want to bring a taste of Charlevoix to a friend or family member, you're sure to find what you're looking for and more at The Lake House!

I also saw a pet section that was just so cute. We were on a weekend trip with three couples and all 6 of us (with very different tastes) were all talking about several things we each loved. I kept thinking "I'll take one of everything". It was the perfect store to stumble into and I want to go back. Worth the stop if you are in the area!

We decided to stop and get something to eat, and we passed by this interesting shop. After eating,…read morewe stopped in to look at the items. I was shocked to see some beautiful crystals. They even had the unique shiva that can be hard to locate and overpriced. They had fossils and rocks as well, especially the petoskey stone. The items were fair priced too. They currently do require face masks and the restroom is closed. However, the lovely worker with an awesome accent instructed us how to get to public restrooms a short 2 minites away! We love this cute shop and were excited that we saw it.

While visiting Sleeping Bear Dunes a friend and I stopped in at this small shop. It was labeled as…read morean antique shop but they have a combination of old and new. I think "original gifts" would be more accurate. They have jewelry, items for the house and garden, old post cards, pottery, masks, drinking glasses...we had a good time just poking around to see what they had. The owner was friendly and asked if we needed help, and left us to wander. We ended up buying stone earrings for $10 each. We enjoyed the store and recommend checking it out if you are in the area.

I'd be very surprised if you were unable to find something out of the vast array that tickles your fancy. The store is spacious and laid out smartly to avoid feeling cramped or overstimulated. Everything is clearly priced and neatly displayed. We also talked with the owners for a few minutes, and they were super friendly. We were just driving through, so I don't know what else Manistee holds, but if you're in the area, definitely check these guys out.

This is embarrassing to admit but important for customers at wood + cloth to know. I bought what I…read morethought was a very attractive planter there today for $30. A couple hours later I was out at the mall shopping at TJ Maxx and I saw the exact same planter for $9.99. I felt like an idiot. I don't live in Traverse City so I don't have time to go back to the store and return the planter. I just think that was kind of a shitty thing for the store to do.

I have been here multiple times and I have really enjoyed what the store has to offer. It has…read morebeautiful bed linens, decorations, excellent cookbooks, plates and bowls, and even a lovely selection of clothes in the back of the store. Wood + Cloth's products are all very well made and beautiful, offering a natural modern aesthetic to its shoppers. The items are expensive, but the store offers some items are in a feasible price range. Often times, you can find a good selection of clothes on sale! I noted that the staff did not engage me when I first entered the store, but when I began trying on clothes or actively looking through quilts etc. they would come up to me and be very helpful and accommodating. I wish that helpfulness had come out when I entered the store, not when I was actively considering a purchase. Other than that, I really think that Wood + Cloth is an excellent addition to Traverse City.

This would be a great place for grandparents to take their kids while parents go shopping at the mall.
