I loved the set up and how different artists were combined in each space and there were so many different areas to look at. Everything was so beautiful and it was probably one of my favorite places I've ever been to on our girls trips.

The indoor gallery also features a nice range of media and prices with some beautiful mosaics and glass art as well as paintings. It's a nice place to spend an hour or so even if you aren't in the market to buy something at the time of your visit.

I love this store! I have to visit every time I am in Door County (I stay in Fish Creek so it is…read morevery close). It is full of "FUN STUFF" and a great place to find a unique gift for a hard to shop for friend/relative/etc. Personally, my favorite is the wall of novelty socks. I'm fairly certain I have purchased at least one pair every time I visit this shop; there are different socks each visit. I also started this "tradition" of picking out a silly dog (or cat) tag for my dog's collar each visit. My Angel Beagle, Sasha, had a great collection (for example "I look much better online" - even though she was adorable!), and my Roxy is starting on her collection ;) Looking around, it appears other customers have fun while in Fun Stuff. And they have awesome pink bags for your purchase. This store is seriously a highlight of each and every Door County adventure. Never stop being fun! :)

Admittedly most of the things for sale are kind of weird or in some cases junky. But what's one mans junk, may be an others gold! It's worth a walk around, and at least there are no dried cherries, olive oil or wine for sale! Definitely a diversion from the same old Door County tourist shop!

I was on my way to Egg Harbor, when this store caught my eye on the main road in sturgeon bay. Apparently this store used to be in Egg Harbor, but moved to Sturgeon Bay this year. You can't miss it, its a great big purple house! Inside, there are seven "rooms" filled with stamps. I probably could have spent all day, and a ton of money looking at the entire inventory. What I loved about this store is it has displays above the stamps, giving you an idea of what they would look like colored in. The stamps aren't cheap, but the selection is more unique than you would find in any big box craft store. I shop online a lot (ebay, amazon, joanns, stamp retailer websites) and I found some stamps that I felt were "hard to find." Scrapbookers will love that they sell Door County stamps here. They also sell scrapbook paper, inks, glitters, glues, and a few stickers. I was looking for embossing folders and die cuts too, but ultimately didn't find any I HAD to have. If you like to craft, you need to put this store on your itinerary!

It is a mix of "touristy" stuff like paper cocktail napkins with joke sayings on them and nicer things. The outdoor area is particularly nice with interesting glass garden art that I think would work best if you lived somewhere without too much wildlife...or storms...but it is fun to look at! The layout is a little maze-like, but that's sort of part of the fun in my opinion...the store just keeps going and going and going... Definitely worth going here rather than one of the purely "touristy items" places if you're looking for something to do on a day when the weather isn't fabulous!

And there's a wine bar across the way. Door County easily fulfills all of my needs on one single street. I have children, but I didn't have them with me, but nevertheless, I made a beeline for the children's section. The kids area here is fun and colorful, with a nice couch to sit on and read, lots of picture books and graphic novels, and a stool for shorties who can't reach. Novel Bay gives teachers a 10% discount every day, which is nice. The whole shop is tidy and well organized, and there's a good selection without it being overwhelming.
