Among the enterprises in the U.P. that have distinguished themselves worldwide is Keweenaw Gem & Gift in Houghton, the World’s Largest Supplier of Michigan Greenstone. If you follow their Facebook page you noticed they recently moved a few blocks, over on Razorback Drive across from the Rock House Grill. Their building design reflects the mining heritage of the region, and the spacious display areas are filled with gift items unique to the Copper Country and the U.P.

The Pasty Cam has stayed 'on the air' all these years with the help of our family of sponsors, which includes names like Keweenaw Gem & Gift, Vollwerth's, Finlandia University, Silverbear, Laurium Manor Inn, and many more. We appreciate their support and applaud their efforts to bring ever-increasing quality products and services to the region, along with employment for so many area residents. And thanks to the many visitors who stop in locally or shop online, because ultimately you're the ones who keep the wheels of the economy turning :o)

Looks like an interesting place to shop!

How is Edie doing, Charlie? We continue to pray for her healing.

Charlie says:

Thanks for your kindness, Jbuck. She is doing well after another surgery Friday evening. A couple of recent posts on her Facebook page provide some details:

Tueday 3-10 gave us a scare

Friday 3-13 waiting in pre-op

The best news as she has been recovering this weekend, is the absence of the previous phantom pain, which had been so severe. Edie passes along her thanks for your prayers and friendship. We will continue to provide updates on her Facebook page.

Congradulations to Ken and the folks at KG&G. I knew they were moving when I talked with Ken alst August. It looks like they "got er done". Can not wait to see it in person.

Oh I could have some fun there! Walk in empty handed, come out with shopping bags!

I love that place. Been there many times,
but not since they moved. Will be sure to
visit next time we're there.


By Brenda Leigh (Brownmoose) on Saturday, March 14, 2015 - 06:00 pm:

Wow this looks like an awesome store indeed. I cannot
wait to visit it. Love that they are a sponsor as
well.


By Eric Pohl (Ericmtu) on Saturday, March 14, 2015 - 07:45 pm:

WOW! I've noticed the process every time I take
the shuttle to Walmart from MTU. Great job and
best wishes for your new location.

I didn't know they had moved either. Will be sure to drop by on my
next trip to the Keweenaw.


By James Ludos (Homesick) on Saturday, March 14, 2015 - 09:50 pm:

Woo Hoo. Rock On !!!


By Just me (Jaby) on Sunday, March 15, 2015 - 09:33 am:

What a beautiful store. I do love Michigan Greenstone.


By Shirley Waggoner (Shirlohio) on Sunday, March 15, 2015 - 09:49 am:

Thank you for the update, Charlie. Will continue to keep Edie in prayer.


By Deb S. (Usedtobeayooper) on Sunday, March 15, 2015 - 10:09 am:

Thanks for updating us, Charlie. I went to her
facebook page, something I hadn't done before, and
read just how much is going on with her. That
poor woman. Will continue to pray for her
recovery. This has been going on for far too long
for all of you. Praying for your strength, also.

Edie & Charlie: May the Good Lord Bless you in plenty of Faith and Healing.

I do know this is the 18th of the month but, I just got my computer back from repairs and looking at past days of pasty-net.

lots of prayers to Edie and family. Hope you make it back to the U.P. real soon....;O)

I am also glad I took pictures of the gem store at the old location....especially with the train thing still out front.
