Pipka's Gallery and Gifts is a charming cottage and studio in Sister Bay, a picturesque village in the heart of Door County, Wisconsin, on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Originally a one-owner family dwelling, the home was bought by Pipka, who converted it into a retail space while preserving the integrity of the building. Doors had to be widened and walls painted. The former garage is now a Museum Room holding all
of Pipka’s Santa creations since she began, plus her personal collection of antique Christmas collectibles!

Embracing the shop is an old-fashioned garden of roses, peonies, delphiniums, asters, tulips, forget-me-nots, pansies and holly-hocks. Tiger lilies under the massive chestnut tree stretch for the sun, and a bench offers a rest for shoppers.

In the studio, a smaller cottage a few feet down the road, Pipka has a quiet private space where she is inspired to do her designing and painting. Research books line the walls, and paints of every color fill baskets by her desk. Further inspiration comes from Pipka's collections of Madonnas, handpainted items and a full line of unique, exclusive Christmas collectibles and gifts.

Winter or summer, stepping into Pipka's Gallery and Gifts is like entering a fairytale full of Pipka's magical figures where Santas fill your sack with toys. This is the magical world of Pipka.
