Our gift shop features imported German advent calendars. These delightful calendars help your small child count down the days to Christmas. Starting on December 1, your child searches each day for a numbered “door” -- behind which a small piece of chocolate is found.  After the 24th door is opened on Christmas Eve, the child will know without a doubt that the next day is Christmas

Most other items in our gift shop are either handmade or handpainted, usually by a family member or neighbor.
