I'm Katie Doucette, an artist, designer, and lover of all things creative. What began in 2011 as a tiny gift shop in Douglas, MI has grown and evolved over the years, starting at our kitchen counter, moving into a pole barn studio, and now finding its cozy home at 322 Butler Street in downtown Saugatuck.
My work has grown from painting local signs to creating artwork that has found its way into shops and homes across the country, but my heart is still right here in this beautiful lakeshore town.
I'm so thankful for the friends, family, and customers who have supported me along the way. You make this little dream possible.
my name is Katie doucette
hey there!
We're so glad you found us!
Polka Dot Mitten is a little nook in the heart of downtown Saugatuck, and it has been a true labor of love to get here. Come check us out on your way to grab some ice cream at Charlie's or while you're waiting for a table at Wally's or Phil's.
Inside you'll find Katie's original paintings, prints, and handmade goods alongside a thoughtfully curated mix of stationery, home decor, and gifts from artists and makers she truly loves. Comfortable, a little nostalgic, and full of things that are just right for the people you love most.
