Having made baskets myself I know the work that goes into it and her baskets are not only beautiful, creative, and unique...but also priced well.

If you're in the area do eat at the Blue Moon Café either before or after and then cross the street to go to this gallery you will not be disappointed. I was also happy to get a Petoskey stone necklace as I may not get to find one myself. I bought a beautiful beach bowl. And there were so many beautiful pieces of wood. Eco died silk scarves and so much more... You have to see it to believe how beautiful this gallery is.

As someone who's visiting for a work trip, I was pleasantly ecstatic that there was a game store…read morein a small town. A nice standalone store just north of Alpena's Downtown, you could possibly miss if you're driving too fast. I actually saw this driving on a weekday from work, but only had time to visit on the weekend. Around lunch time the place wasn't packed and just a couple customers inside and from their conversations sound like locals doing their weekly check in on new inventory. From the front they have a wall of funkos that greet you and an atrium that wraps around with old consoles from PS3/4's, Xbox's, Nintendo systems then their games. In the middle of all this is their grail/vault with all their high profile pokemon cards. Looking up a couple of them, they're about 5% off from their suggested price online which is really good. Def a place to pick rare cards from. Walking on the way up to the cash register they also have more games and consoles that are more recent. I believe at the time I'm writing this, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 physically just released and it was in stock when I visited. Lastly they have the latest Pokemon TCG cards right on the counter when you're checking out which prompted me to buy one. Because why not. Really nice local shop and glad I found this little gem
