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. :).

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.

Arbor is complete without a pop into our favorite northern hardware store.

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.

Everything is clearly priced and neatly displayed. We also talked with the owners for a few minutes, and they were super friendly.

I purchased a couch, two swivel chairs and a large leather ottoman. The issue came when the chair and ottoman were delivered and none of the legs matched between the couch, ottoman and both chairs. Granted the couch and one chair were floor samples and were sitting in the store when I decided to order another matching chair and the ottoman. So there should not have been any question of what I wanted for legs, they should match. The delivery person/warehouse manager told us don't worry this is an easy fix. Well it was 2 months before they even ordered replacements because they were trying to find out internally who made the mistake. I kept getting promised the parts were coming in a week and then 2 months would go by and no communication. I compromised and said if the two chairs match and then the couch and ottoman match that would work. It has been 9 months and I am still waiting for a replacement for my swivel chair base. Oh and the ottoman was supposed to have studs around the bottom and it did not come with the studs. No apology, no explanation, and no compensation.

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!
