North Shore Treasures
This rambling, 7-room shop is charmingly furnished with antique country hutches and other interesting display pieces. Its focus is the lodge look, for instance with distinctive rugs (braided or with wildlife motifs), throws, lamps of birch or with fish and moose motifs. Women's clothing lines include Woolrich and Peaceful People. There are regional books and Michigan jams and sauces, ideal for gifts. Jewelry, handknits, burl bowls, and paintings on slate are by area craftspeople. -7/2010
