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.

7 years since my last review? Definitely time for an update! This is a fun gallery to visit with…read morean excellent outdoor sculpture garden with a lot of amazing large pieces as well as much more affordable pieces for the average customer (e.g. fish for $50-100). 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.

After visiting nearby Door Bluff Headlands County Park, we dropped in here on a whim as the signage…read morefor this studio was located right on the same Garrett Bay Road that leads out of the park.  And we are very glad we did, as it was a unique business and cultural Door County experience indeed.  The gravel and dirt road leading to their secluded studio is like being right back in the park, and after a little bit of roadway, their studio appears out of the woods.  Ha, perty different and interesting to say the least!   Off to the side of the studio was Diane McNeil who greeted and welcomed us.  Hidden back in his workshop was John Dietrich, the master potter at work.  We browsed around the gallery and there was a lot of colorful and artistic pottery to look at, but nothing really clicked for us buying-wise on this trip anyway.  But the best part was that after browsing, we got to chatting with this delightful and engaging and long time husband and wife team.  Their gallery is actually a converted historic 1934 vintage apple barn.   On the premises behind their gallery is their home too.  You can tell this business is their love and livelihood.  We learned yet again it's a small world.  Diane actually hails originally from Glen Ellyn, IL and still remembers now bustling Naperville as open pasture land!  John was raised in Appleton WI and trained from his college days to be a master potter, but both of his parents were actually renowned painters from Oak Park, IL!  There are other potteries in town we noticed later, and I'm sure each has their own story, but their particular story here was one that gave us a sense of connection.  Drop by to meet this welcoming couple, go off the beaten path, and see if any of their work might be what you're looking for!

During the reception we were able to wander through the art which was a nice experience. And I don't know how much the Gallery had to do with the food service and all that, but it everything about this wedding was absolutely seamless and absolutely on time. The food was amazing. My only quibble is that the seating was super tight for dinner. It felt like we were right on top of one another, but again, that's completely minor. The grounds are fantastic native grasses and flowers. I just can't get over how wonderful the entire experience was as a wedding guest.

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.

Unfortunately, I don't have either, so I headed inside to see what other goodies were in store. Inside are tons of gift items as well as neat stuff for your home.

If I am in the area, I would definitely stop by again.

Their selection is so vast, I could wander for hours and admire the wares. I had to pick up some Swedish Candy, of course, although the chocolates had to stay on the shelf due to the 100-degree heat outside. But Salty licorice and Bubs skulls came home with me. Delicious. I was most excited to find that they carry clothing. I bought a couple of dresses by Paapii, a Finnish brand. They make comfy dresses and tunics in all kinds of cute patterns. Everyone at the store was so friendly and willing to help out. The dressing room was occupied for a while, so they offered to let me try on my outfits in the ladies room instead. My haul ended up being quite pricey, but that is not Skal's fault. Their prices are rather reasonable in my opinion, I just...bought a lot of stuff. Be warned, you might too!

My friend is from Sweden, and she was over the moon about the authentic candy and really excited to see some of the clothing brands they had. I, on the other hand, got totally distracted by all the adorable gifts and knick-knacks. Every display was so thoughtfully arranged. Seriously, it felt like walking into a Pinterest board. The clerks were kind and helpful, and it had that warm, welcoming vibe that makes you want to linger. The prices were very reasonable, considering we were in such a touristy area. I picked out a Christmas ornament as a souvenir, and I know I'll smile every time I hang it on the tree. Such a sweet little stop. Everyone should check them out if they are in Door County, WI!
