"Grizzly Cub" Keychain

This handmade grizzly cub is made from 100% wool and then felted. My keys should  be easier to find if misplaced...with this little grizzly bear key chain!  

Moose Country

This is moose country where we have cotton  knit dishcloth bundles of 2 in natural colors. They  are tied together with jute with a moose tag at the Crystal  Pinecone gift shop in Grand Marais. They are $6.50 a set.

Natural North Woods

These rustic ornaments were made using natural items from the north woods of the U.P. of Michigan. The pine trees were hand painted by Dorothy Woropay. The frames around the little paintings are made from cut twigs with a twig branch on the top of the ornament.

Best Kept Secret in Grand Marais

We have been told"the Crystal Pinecone Gift Shoppe is the best kept secret in Grand Marais".  Actually, we
are located  a bit out of town, just at the top of the hill but,  but, really not far at all! Customers will say " Oh wow, we did not know you were here". We are located on West ridge Road off M-77 surrounded by  pine trees and the  northwoods of the U.P of Michigan. Here are a couple of photos of the inside of our shoppe. We have a nice display of antiques behind the counter that helps to set the mood of a little general store when  Grand Marais was a booming fishing and logging town.
The last photo is some of the soap we carry along with other handcrafted soaps by the Denali Dreams Soap Factory in Alaska.

The Deer Hunter, that Time Forgot

Here is is very old photo that my dad  had for forever. Don't have any information  about this deer hunter
that bagged this huge buck. No writing on the back of the photo, either...just a story in the photo itself.  No doubt, this  whitetail buck was taken in the U. P. of of Michigan. Great photo!

White Owl

This white owl rock was made just using black paint for the design.

Artful Gifts

This "Artful Gifts" sign was made with driftwood  and beach pebbles. Some of the driftwood pieces have been painted to create the little house, roof, door, and the front steps to the doorway. Pebbles were used for  pathway to the house and a small rock painted yellow for the sun. This sign hangs at the door of The Crystal Pinecone Gift Shoppe.
