What a fun little shop! If you like handcrafted, made in Michigan stuff, you'll love Swankyz…read more They've got a great variety of items like soaps, candles, cast iron sculptures, jewelry, dog treats, people treats, clothing, etc. - all made by local artists and business owners. I'd be very surprised if you were unable to find something out of the vast array that tickles your fancy. The store is spacious and laid out smartly to avoid feeling cramped or overstimulated. Everything is clearly priced and neatly displayed. We also talked with the owners for a few minutes, and they were super friendly. We were just driving through, so I don't know what else Manistee holds, but if you're in the area, definitely check these guys out.

I have been shopping at Northern Spirits since about 1997. It was then owned by Dave and Maria, and…read morethen solely by Maria. My sister Bert &I spent many hours upon hours shopping, browzing, reading,(great book selections) and visiting with Maria, Mary, and the other customers in the store. It was our fav store in the world and still is. Quality jewelry at unbelievable prices. Items you simply CANNOT find in other stores, such as herkimer diamonds, Wiccan jewelry and charms, literature and smudge(purification sage) sticks for Wiccan as well as Native American purification & protection rituals, as well as craft items like yarns, beads,pearls, crystals and findings for jewelry making and crafting. Patty is the new owner and Bert Edel, who has been there since Maria, is the 1st Mate. She knows everything about beading, crafting, jewelry purchases and jewelry repair. Bert can make or fix anything. I love the store and the people. Its my main reason to go to downtown Manistee! Go visit and you too will fall under Patty & Bert's spell. You'll love it!! The girls bend over backwards to make sure you have the best shopping experience ever. If you cant find something, they will offer to special order or whatever it takes to get what you need.They are beyond phennominal. They are beyond helpfull and courtious. Check it out! NORTHERN SPIRITS ROCKS! Sincerely, Alexis Herne Customer forever
