Wow. No recent reviews for this place for over a year and a half? Alright, well here's the update. The Christmas Cottage still rocks.
In a city that makes it a little hard to shop for Xmas decor or fun tree tinsel (I guess that's what the suburbs are for) this place brings you home for the holidays, or any month out of the year for that matter. Yes, they're still open in June.
Hand-crafted, crystal, silver red & gold, hand-painted, made-of-all-kinds-of-materials, beautiful ornaments. The Cottage IS mostly ornaments. There were also unique cards, New Year's gifts, tiny trees, magnets, stockings and other Christmas decor in the tiny shop. Lights hung from every which corner and ceiling hook. And it is tiny. With just a few customers in there you're bumping into children and backs of people. BTW, not a store for kids. There are way too many fragile items and way too many "please ask for assistance" ornaments. Most of the ornaments are $10 +, but as I was looking for a particular one, I found it, and it was still cheaper than the online price. The person working there was very friendly and talking up a storm with the other customers. He asked everyone if they were from around the area, or where they were visiting from.
Go for a visit. It'll put you in a good mood, no matter the season.
