The 2022 season has begun! It has been a busy spring on Mackinac Island. We unpacked many, many boxes of beautiful products and arranged things 'just so' for you to see on your visit. The shops were dusted, swept, and painted to prepare for opening day, which was Saturday, April 30th.  It wasn’t all work!

Hello.... Poppins is taking a little breather after a busy season on Mackinac. The shop will open for a few days between Christmas and New Year and in January I will start preparing for the 2016 season.

Markets, new discoveries, travel and beautiful Mackinac Island. Thank you for stopping by.. Kate
