The Weather Vane Gift Shop, owned and operated by Jane Tremaine for the past 40 years, is a hidden gem located in rural Oconomowoc, Wisconsin. Despite its small size, this midwestern store is packed with an impressive selection of unique products from all over the world, making it a true headquarters for handcrafted items. A particular highlight is its extensive collection of German items, but this shop also offers collectibles from a wide range of countries including Brazil, France, Russia, and more.

Jane's expertise in curios and collectibles is unmatched, as she personally travels the globe to build relationships with artisans and workshop owners, ensuring that the store is always stocked with hard-to-find treasures. In fact, Jane has even sold limited edition Wendt & Kuhn figurines to buyers in Germany who couldn't find them locally. Whether you're a local or from afar, The Weather Vane offers a delightful shopping experience.

If you can't visit in person, their German items can be found online. And if you're looking for something specific, don't hesitate to contact Jane herself, who is known as the Indiana Jones of handmade collectibles
