Kelly Kehl, who moved back to the Village of Northport in January with her husband, John, recently opened her very own “Little Beauty Kitchen” business location downtown. Kehl, an herbalist, artist, and esthetician, said she could not be more happy to continue her work at the new space in Barb’s Bakery.
“It’s very much like coming home, so it feels very lovely and familiar and safe,” Kehl said. “The future of my business and even my personal life, is to create a lovely life here — just aging here and being with the community.”
After successfully securing a home through the affordable housing nonprofit Peninsula Housing, which was a dream come true for the Leelanau natives, Kehl reached out via social media to let people know she was looking for a new place for her small business that was formerly located off Front Street in Traverse City.
