Pinky's Place - Antique & Artisan Market — Local services in Alpine Township

We recently went here to look for antiques and collectibles. We noticed that a few sellers were selling ceramic mushrooms from the dollar store and they were $4 a piece for them . I purchased a little pack of mushroom stickers (12) for like $1.50, today I found the COMPLETE 50 pack of the same stickers on the TEMU app (where the seller got them originally) for less than I paid for 10 stickers! We also noticed they sell a TON of Hobby Lobby stuff that they get when Hobby lobby does discounts and then goes and sells them for more (like the plastic spinning lawn flowers outside in the front of the store that are $6 at Hobby Lobby currently and Pinkies place is charging $15) . We saw someone else selling a hanging "welcome to the country" sign that we already own and got it at Hobby Lobby ($15 at Hobby Lobby, $30 at Pinkies) My girlfriend found earings and then found the same ones for $2 cheaper in another booth. They should be ashamed for ripping customers off. Don't go here, plenty of other places with stuff not from TEMU, Hobby Lobby, or the dollar store. For the most part they buy stuff for cheap and sell it for...

My best friend and I went in here very excited. We love antiques and artisan pieces. I’m even an artisan myself and was hoping to be able to sell my work here. However, when we came in we weren’t even acknowledged. And then we were promptly followed around the entirety of the time we were there. Every time we stopped or went into a booth, so did she, and she was never far behind. It left a really gross and uncomfortable feeling. We checked out as a specific vendor had caught my friends attention and the woman hardly spoke to us. I will NEVER return. We’re both childless, have good incomes, and wanted a cool place to check out. To be fair, this was a cool place. But it left a bad taste in my mouth and I hope they read this and are ashamed...

One of the very few places in West MI -- no, make that in all of MI -- to leave me at a loss for words!

To simply label the venue as an antique multi-vendor gift and collectors shop would be an unforgivable slight.

Truly a genuine "must see it to believe it" experience. Add the late Bert (Pinky) Anderson's dedication to the provision of local contact information and educational materials, re: the fight against the entire spectrum of dementia, and you have but a glimpse of the lasting contributions of her entire family!

A trip to this NW corner of the greater Grand Rapids area is an experience that I guarantee you will not...
