I found beautiful earrings that were reasonably priced and summer melamine serving items that will be great down the south Jersey shore for our wine and cheese parties. Everyone else in the store seemed very happy with the selections. The owner is really cool too. I'll be back!

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.

Like many of its neighbors, Be Home does not disappoint! This store features furniture, lamps, artwork and other home decor. Some items are very traditional while other items are more transitional. Regardless of the style, everything is quality and classy. Be Home is definitely the type of place that you'll want to keep checking out as their inventory turns over and they offer many seasonal items. Also, it's a great place to shop for inspiration or a gift. Finally, the staff is friendly and attentive but not overbearing.

The first sign that you're going to enter a different kind of store is the giant rainbow peace flag outside. It sets the tone for happy times to come. Inside you will find glassware, wallets and purses ,make up bags, some home decor,gift items,scents and incense, really cool Tee's and hoodies, fun signage etc. The inventory is too much to mention but it's definitely worth stopping to look at some of the fun items. Today my purchase consisted of a beautiful blank note card, A blue Agate stone and moon that once home in my living room looks really beautiful on my coffee table. And a VW bus Small bag With a leather strap that is just the perfect size to carry my wallet and phone. All items are high-quality and playful in nature. I'm glad my honey pointed this place out to me because I know I will be back A few times a year for gift giving

To our surprise they had the best selection of vinyls I have ever seen in a single shop. While there, a thunderstorm came, the owner let us listen to the records and shared a bottle of champagne with us. We ended up buying 14 records, 3 of which we have been looking for for a long time. So friendly. Although we were there for the records, they also had an amazing selection of wonderful artwork. Definitely a must visit if traveling to St Micheals.

Local by Design opened in May 2016 and I am so sad that they were not listed on Yelp prior to Annapolis' busy summer tourist season (soon to be followed by the busy Navy-football-games-and-boat-show-weekends season). This store is delightful and if I was an impulse shopper I would have gone broke today and filled my car with serene water colors, fun jewelry, transitional upholstery furniture, upcycled art work, practical pottery and pop art posters. Local by Design features the artwork of other 50 local artists that use all sorts of mediums. The art here ranges from super subtle, traditional and classic to zany, wild and fun. I enjoyed all of it! Even if you aren't shopping for something on your walls, there is plenty of other great stuff here for the home, for yourself and for gifts. Also, this store offers a little snapshot into the cultural icons of Annapolis and the surrounding area - USNA, sailing, steamed crabs alongside National Bohemian beer, oysters, blue herons, anchors, etc.
