I am not really a candle guy but it is really hard not to love this local candle shop. The staff is…read moreso friendly and passionate about their business that you would swear they were inhaling more than just scented candles. They produce all of their candles by hand onsite and will happily give you a quick and informative tour to prove it. The staff goes above and beyond to help you find the candle that will work for your needs, and if you can't find one they will make a custom order for you.

I stopped in on a whim while I was in town for work and I wish I wouldn't have been so broke, because there were a ton of really cool things to buy. My favorite were the neon colored necklace holding antlers. There was also a very wide selection of really awesome prints. For a smaller shop, the selection was pretty awesome. Everything from baby things to knit goods, candles to jewelry.

After doing a google search, I "fell" for the beautiful floral arrangements posted on the KD Floral…read morewebsite. I requested a mum plant & asked that they "dress it up a bit". The plant was delivered at the agreed upon time/date, but was not in good shape. UPDATE: KD Floral immediately responded to an email that I sent them relating my unhappy experience. They said their specialty is in floral arrangements, and they offered to send a replacement arrangement, which I agreed to. The arrangement was in beautiful fall colors, nicely done, and was promptly delivered. I am happy that this business wanted to correct their mistake and make amends.

OK, my mom works here as a side job in retirement, so my review is a little biased. Sorry! First…read moreyou need to be able to climb about 20 steps as this used to be a creamery then dance hall back in the day. This store buys most stuff from "market" then marks it up. Think Lakeside Cottage and other catalog merchandise. My favorite thing to do is squeeze the paws of singing Teddy bears and walk away. Lace doilies, candles, lake trinkets, shoes, clothes, jewelry, etc. Nothing screams buy me as nothing is unique. The store is busy in summer months and dead in fall/winter. Check out their sale area and you may find something to buy. They have loon discount cards for 10% an item so ask.
