This quaint jewelry and gift shop on historic Stedman Street showcases a lively mix of jewelry, clothing, art, and housewares. Ketchikan Dry Goods was the brainchild of artist Janine Gibbons in 2008. She’s since moved out of Alaska, but her intricate and colorful jewelry pieces are still available here.
Current proprietor Ashley Burns fills the shop with an eclectic mix of items she loves – from children’s clothes, toys and books to ladies’ vintage aprons and trendy dresses. Jewelry has to be the highlight, though, with pieces from up and coming woman artists. Janine Gibbons’ work is inspired by her roots growing up in Southeast Alaska. The Navone jewelry line reflects artistic influences from Southeast Asia, India and Africa. And JenZens jewelry embodies the artist’s passion for gemstones such as amethyst and citrine.
Visitors who enjoy variety will find a little something for everyone at Ketchikan Dry Goods, along with a smile from the helpful staff. Look for new additions to the product line on their Facebook page, or check them out in person at 219 Stedman Street.
