We were up north with my inlaws for a week and stopped by here a few times to browse all the…read morebeautiful, colorful pieces. My SIL & BIL just bought a new house so they were excitedly exploring all the decor, particularly garden decor, for their new abode. My husband's niece also recently got her first house and she excitedly picked out several cute things for her yard like the stone owls and a couple of other pieces. While everyone was browsing outside I popped inside and saw the most gorgeous embroidered chair. It was blue with orange birds and flowers all over it. I showed it to my husband who also loved it and urged me to get it. "That is an Annette chair if I've ever saw one" he said. Alas, we are due for getting some repair work done around our house so I balked at the price and said "maybe next time!" And stepped away from the chair with a longing look. Hah. I didn't leave empty handed tho! I picked up a cute solar grasshopper figurine to add to my garden and a golden fox statue for indoor decor. Anyway, I left the shop to go browse down the street and long story short, my in-laws were sneaky and bought me the chair as a surprise gift!! I was floored by their generosity and tried to argue, but the deal was done so I accepted the gift with the kindness intended. Now, between me, my husband, my mom, three dogs and all our luggage we had zero room in our car for the chair so my sneaky in-laws also arranged delivery with the shop. A day or two after we got back home I got a call and text from the gallery letting me know the owner himself was going to be in our town the next day and had the chair with him for delivery. I was surprised and impressed that they did their own delivery (not sure what I expected but wasn't white glove service by the owner to our house 4.5 hours from them!) My husband greeted him at the door and the chair was delivered in all its beautiful glory. So yeah, this store is great for unique decor both small (cute stone owls) to large (a beautiful embroidered chair) and everything in between. Now I just have to figure out the right place to put it bc this is a chair that demands to be seen!

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. :).

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!

I want to begin this by prefacing that I am a part of the generation of online shoppers and have…read morebeen raised predominantly in larger cities with more "big business" and while all of this is becoming more and more common place it also comes with a general lack of sincere customer service. While visiting in the summer I found a mug that I loved, but was going to think about purchasing it until I made my trip during the fall. When I arrived in the fall I was sad to realize that the mug I had my heart set on was no longer in the store and upon asking at the checkout desk I was told that I would be emailed if it were to come back into stock. After two months of no further communication I received an email from Janet stating that they had received the exact mug that I wanted and they were able to ship it the next day. I think we can all agree that 2020 is its own special mess and any other year I might have written this interaction off as "making a sale", but to know that they cared enough to remember this small interaction, organized enough to keep my information after two months, and overall exemplify the best customer service I've experienced in a long time is something that I consider to be worth praise. Thank you all at NorthGoods! See you all next summer.

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.

We love this cute shop and were excited that we saw it.

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.

It's also a wonderful experience to visit with Stacy or Kate. 12/24
