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

The new owners (of less than 3 months!) have done a great job - my family and I just visited Gwen…read moreFrostic and it's just as we remember as kids, but now with needle point, glasses, and a few other new things. Great visit. Will be coming back soon.

The owners must not like or desire having visitors because they seem to have done everything they…read morecan to make this place not worth visiting. My wife remembered this place being a beautiful nature preserve and a destination. Today, it is an overgrown mess that you cannot walk into. The women who worked there took indifference to a new level. And they do not allow paying customers to use their bathroom. We drove 3 hours for a lousy experience - one that we will never repeat. If you want Gwen's prints, save a trip and order them online because you won't be glad you went there.

Yet another Frankfort shop that covers a ton of bases. there's outdoor carpets and welcome mats,…read morepurses and hats, candles and body lotions, artwork and bird feeders, pool/beach floats, glasses and tumblers, artwork and clocks shaped like cats and dogs with wagging tails. My favorite thing here is the Fit Kicks shoes, which are priced right at $25 a pair and great for boating, paddleboarding, yoga, the beach -- you name it. They were almost out of women's medium (sizes 7-8) on my recent visit, which was a bummer!

The woman frowns at me and says, "only if you aren't trying it on for fun." I was a bit taken aback but tried the dress on anyways. It was gorgeous, but the saleswoman was so rude that I decided to buy it online. Certainly won't be going back here since clearly you are only treated well if you look older and wealthy. I've worked many a retail job and am absolutely shocked.

They also carry New Wear leggings at 2 for $30. They feel just as luxuriously soft as Lularoe for almost half the price and come in lots of cool prints. They also carry a wide array of Woolworth brand, lots of accessories, jewelry and swimsuits.
