Discover the Secret Garden

There is the book, The Secret Garden, and then there is a favorite shop of mine called The Secret Garden. When you find the shop, you must take a look at the beauty at the front door and then once you get inside, slip to the back door before you take in the delightful things to buy.


Flowers at front door
The back door takes the visitor to a small space that is indeed a secret garden.  There is beauty and texture in the flowers, brick wall, shutters and garden art.  A small water feature adds to the overall ambience of this truly remarkable space.

The shop itself is filled with an eclectic mix of vintage items, jewelry, hand crafted pieces, candles, soap, ephemera, books, art and other gift items.  I never fail to leave without buying a treasure.

So where is this special place?  I wouldn't leave anyone without a map.  On the main street in the Lake Michigan beach town of Pentwater, Michigan, one can find this favorite destination of mine.  Look for the hanging sign and enjoy a bit of beauty inside and out of this unique shop.
