The Weather Vane

"The Weather Vane is a fantastic little place with a collection of unusual handmade Christmas items from Germany, Poland and other countries. We have made a visit for the last 20 years!"

"Traditional and handmade gifts at good prices. All of the pieces in The Weather Vane could easily become family heirlooms due to the great quality. The prices are MUCH better than what you would find at the Christkindlmarket held in Milwaukee and has three times the variety. I purchased two German pyramids and several ornaments as Christmas presents that really impressed the family."

"I have shopped the Weather Vane for over 20 years. If you have the opportunity to visit Jane's shop, do so. It has so many beautiful things. I buy chubby KWO smokers every year for my brother for Christmas. He collects them. Jane always tells me what's new, she is a pleasure to work with. Since we moved away from the Oconomowoc area, I now order online. My orders are promptly shipped and everything is packed so well. I was in Germany on a river cruise this past summer and looked at smokers at several locations. The pricing at The Weather Vane is much better, believe it or not. You can't go wrong with The Weather Vane!"

"The Weather Vane is the only place I go to build my German hand-crafted collection and has been for many years. They offer the most complete array of quality European goods, unique & extraordinary pieces that have become heirloom keepsakes for my family. Each and every order has been dealt with personally, from corresponding to packing. And when I have had concerns, Jane has been prompt and thorough with responding. The Weather Vane offers the best selection with the best prices and has the customer service to back it up. It’s the whole-package deal when shopping with The Weather Vane!"

"A charming and delightful shop whose owner is even more charming and delightful. Filled with Christmas treasures that reflect old world German style - wooden angel ornaments and other authentic decorations. All that and more! Definitely worth the trip!"
