Anne Beate Design - Shepherd with Wife and Sheep

The shepherds in the fields are here symbolized by this shepherd and his sheep.These beautiful wooden figures were first produced back in the 1970´ties and for some unknown reason the shepherd got a wife then. When we decided to take up production of these special figures in 2006, we did not have the heart to take her away from him. Anyway, shepherds must have had wives too, then.The figures today are made exactly like the first ones and are of course hand-painted.

About the maker

Anne Beate Design

Anne Beate Design has been creating Danish nisser with character since 1963. The little figures grow out of a much older Nordic folklore tradition, but each one has the expressive face, clothing, and personality of the Anne-Beate family.

The designs and prototypes begin in Denmark. Skilled hands complete many of the small craft steps in a workshop near Hanoi before the figures return to Denmark for finishing and quality checks. New characters join the collection over time, inviting families to bring out old favorites and add fresh stories to their Christmas traditions.

A Million Stars

“If I could give this place a million stars I would. It is an oasis in Iowa. Here you find an authentic 1848 Danish windmill brought over from Denmark and lot of interesting Danish and Viking cultural items, a fantastic gift shop with a huge selection and things you can't find anywhere else (like Aebelskiver cast iron pans!) and a friendly and knowledgeable staff. What more could you ask for? It's really worth it to make a stop here!”

They have everything!

“This was a great stop in Iowa! A small little town, with lots of Danish culture. This Danish windmill was brought over from Denmark in the 70's lots of history, as long as a Viking house, tiny church and the BEST gift shop.I spent most of my time here shopping. They have everything! Royal Copenhagen to Carlsburg øle!”

Klarborg Annual Elf Couple 2026 - Torben & Agnethe

Agnethe is sweet and kind, always thinking of others and ready to lend a helping hand. If you meet her on your way, she will always greet you with a smile. She is very creative and loves to wander through the forest to find beautiful natural treasures for making wreaths and other decorations. Torben is a lively and friendly little elf. When he goes to the forest to collect spruce, he always walks briskly. Sometimes he rushes around the woods and forgets where he is – and then it can be a bit tri
