There are many reasons why this place has been around since late 70s-early 80s... many places like this don't last or never have business... but this one does because they really know what they are doing and how to help.

I've recently been perusing their online shop and gifting friends with newborns Maryland-themed onesies and such. The selection in the shop is thoughtful and unparalleled.

The store has lots of stuff to choose from. Don't know why the reviews were bad and only a few. This spot as better stuff than the airport and to be honest I haven't seen a lot of place here that sell Baltimore souvenirs, that doesn't have the Ravens on it . As a Steeler fan I would never buy THAT stuff. But Baltimore by itself is cool, I even like the state flag en the crabby crab. Check it out yourself when you are in the neighborhood.

I can't believe I forgot to review THE COTTAGE?! I was cruising through my reviews from our trip to…read moreAnnapolis mid summer. Annapolis has got a ton of little clothing shops and odds and ends but THE COTTAGE's selection was top notch. They had bracelets, bags, decor, clothes...you name it. I'm from the south and live in Ohio now, but this shop was reminiscent of the shops in the south. Classy and prices reasonable for the quality they carry, plus the staff were so hospitable. Hopefully I'll be stopping in on a regular basis if I get a Mid class 2031.

Bottom Line: A lovely collection of accessories, décor, clothing and gifts…read more The Cottage, a long time staple in Severna Park, has opened a new location in downtown Annapolis in the spot previously occupied by Kokopelli. To differentiate between the two locations they are calling the downtown Annapolis store The Cottage on Main and the Severna Park store The Cottage in The Park. The inventory between the two stores seems very similar. I can almost always find something to buy at this great local, small business. Here are some of my most recent finds: - Avanti greeting cards often featuring funny animals. They are the best! - Keva leather jewelry. It's light and so comfortable to wear. - Farmhouse Fresh lotions and soaps. Great quality and not overbearing scents. - Hobo purses and wallets. Awesome colors, practical designs and yummy leather. - A variety of thoughtful and sweet baby gifts. Lots of pretty prints. - Boho bandeaus. I really like these for working out in the yard. - Rifle Paper Co. stemless drinking glasses. Seems great for anything. - Although not personally a favorite of mine, popular brands like Vera Bradley, Kendra Scott and Swig. Since this location is in downtown Annapolis parking is a consideratoin. On an early weekday morning you might be able to grab a metered spot our front. The Noah Hillman Parking Garage is nearby too. Or you can always drive 15 minutes to the Severna Park location where parking is plentiful. Overall, The Cottage on Main is a great addition to downtown Annapolis.

Baby section, yep. This was the most organized room. There's also a tea room where you can have a little girls' tea party.

It has a lot of stuff for a small store, including baby gifts, home gifts, candles, food, etc. As a result, however, the store seems a bit cluttered. The store contains things for a variety of tastes, but this seems to be a place where you would get your mom or grandma something as opposed to your 20-something friend. This store is worth browsing through if you have extra time, but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit it. Oh, and the back room is a tea room. Random?

I love folk art . . . so creative, earthy, edgy. And this shop is full of that, and a lotta quirk! Lots of affordable art from folk artists. Tons of cool postcards you might not be able to find anywhere else. Weird old photos to buy. Bizarro clowns. Chair socks (who knew those existed), vintage halloween masks (I wanted to buy them all), journals, very cool books. A lot of social justice stuff, which I appreciate. I know I'm safe here. The staff (including the owner who helps out around the place himself) were so cool and nice! I bought a ton of weird and delightful greeting cards, postcards, and a few other fun things. And I bought a couple fortunes from Zoltar, the famous fortune teller from BIG. This is a place I would shop at frequently, outside of museum patronage.
