Neat Store We were on vacation camping in Tawas State Park. We went into town & my teenage daughter and her friend found this store and bought all kinds of craft stuff to use at the campground. You name it they have it from yard stuff, kids games, crafts and more. We even had to go back the next day so they could buy more crafts. Great store to look thru.

Crowded store. No social distancing. Way too many people. Barely any patrons wore masks and none of the workers did.

Awesome store with cute, unusable things. Love the earrings and glass paper weights lets call them. They have a few images inside suspended in air. Bought 2 different ones last year for family and then once I gave them away I wanted them too and figured I'd buy them this year. Good luck and hope you open soon in not maybe you could do online ordering!!
