It was a rainy day on the rustic streets of Old TKA. I was a mess- Mosquitoes had rendered me a…read morepint short of plasma, my sandals were divorcing from their sole-mates, and i was in dire need of a drink, a date & some gifts to send back home.
After a few drinks at the nearby Fairview, and a few failed attempts at dates, I stumbled down Main St. towards the river.
Before I hit the end of the 'main drag', I noticed a shop with appealing decor and great energy on the right hand side of the road.
Upon entering, I am immediately struck by the excellent layout & display of the items within this cozy, log-cabin boutique.
Once inside & browsing, I found myself surrounded with hand made items, hats, stylish gear, warm socks, kids clothes, indie artwork sweatshirts, survival necessities, reggae music playing, and most important of all, Mosquito repellent!
The gentleman running the store, was a strapping young 29-year old Caucasian Rastafarian. He immediately directed me to a new pair of sandals, with much to my delight, a built in bottle opener in the sole!
I was able to get a wide array of gifts for a myriad of friends and family from this unique shop!
I even purchased a Water bottle donning their great logo, that happened to 'Glow in the Dark', for easy locating on those long nights sleeping on the banks of the Susitna River!
Although their motto should be "finest selection of hipster trucker hats in the Mat-Su Borough", they carry a grand selection of stylish apparel & accessories for Men & Women, as well as Gear, gifts, and necessities for life 'in the bush', on your pilgrimage to "Into the Wild" dude's Bus!
Overall, if you are in Talkeetna, stop into this cute, stylish little boutique, you're guaranteed to find a great gift, or something you absolutely need & can't live without!
