We are frequently reminded that our founder, Helen Winnemore, was ahead of her time. So it should not be surprising that among the treasures she chose to introduce to her loyal customers in the 1950’s was a Nativity scene from a small German studio founded by a woman, Lotte Sievers-Hahn, in 1929. Lotte ran her studio until the late 1980’s. The workshop is still owned and operated by the family today in Bröckel, Germany!

The artwork of Lotte Sievers-Hahn is woven into the history of our Shop. We have had the honor of assisting customers whose families have collected the Nativity for generations, and it's a tradition we're proud to continue.

How we came to be...

Like so many of us, Helen Winnemore was an artist at heart. Through various avenues, she came to know many artists and craftspeople. Finding great value in their work, she invited friends to her Grandview, Ohio home to view the art, and called it “The Afternoon Shop”.

A gracious hostess, guests were served coffee or tea, and invited to peruse the cabinets and drawers where Helen stored the artists wares.

Eventually, “The Afternoon Shop” became Helen Winnemore’s, and an official storefront was opened at Broad Street and Parsons Avenue near downtown Columbus. The shop remained there until 1966, when Helen moved the shop to its home in Historic German Village, in downtown Columbus.

The traditions born in Helen’s home continue today. Guests are still served coffee or tea, and invited to explore American handcrafted items of all kinds on display throughout the shop, including the 40 jewelry drawers that are always a guest favorite.
