2 reviews for Cozy Cottage
One of the small shops in the Bellevue area, it is aptly named; it's both cozy and a cottage.
In her review, Karina named many of the items for sale. I also noticed lots of themed tea/kitchen towels, handmade jewelry and some unique handmade mini photo or scrapbook albums.
A mom and her kids were shopping while I was there. The little girl was buying doll clothes while the boy was searching for sports-themed items. Both found something to spend their money on, while the mom bought some 4th of July themed items.
There doesn't seem to be any unifying theme to the Cozy Cottage, other than most items are hand-crafted by local artisans. From American Girl doll clothes to replacement cornhole bags to hand-made stationary and gift bags to soy candles, this is a perfect place to find things that large department stores just don't carry.
Looking for Mother's Day gifts, I knew I found a store that would have that special present that said "Hey, Mom. Look, I didn't just grab something from the check-out line at Kroger."
I picked up a few scented soy candles (cucumber and melon and clean cotton) made by Auntie Y's. I bought one for myself so I could test them out before giving them and I was so pleased with the aroma and how smokeless the candle burned. For only $5, the candle was a bargain compared to store bought scented candles of the same quality.
As I was getting ready to pay, the owner pointed out one her favorite skin care products, The Body Bar's Lotion Bar. Encased in a metal container, this locally-produced lotion is applied as if you were washing your hands with a sudless bar of soap. The oil rich bar is rubbed along your palms, fingers, and cuticles (or anywhere else that need moisturizing) for a rich, replenishing skin treatment. The scents were amazing; my favorites were White Tea and Ginger, Mandarin Mimosa, and Be Delicious.
When my mother opened her gift, she was so impressed that I had gone that extra mile to find these unique items. Thank goodness there is a place like Cozy Cottage that carries them.
