We were dining at cowfish and decided to take a walk around the area after our meal. We discovered this store but it was closed, it was around 8:30PM. We thought the glass display of the store was so beautiful that the next day I decided to make a personal trip back here to check it out. I think this store sort of resembles a typical gift shop at an airport. You have your stationaries, UNC gear, glass ornaments and different souveniors. The owners seems very friendly and helpful. The inside is a tad dark but really nothing too noticeable, I think the lighting is darker because the whole store has glass panel walls so it gets plenty of sunlight. I ended up purchasing one of the glass ornaments because I thought it was quite special. Overall, this store is not a hidden gem, but it does serves its purpose and live behind its name as a gift shop well.

With many local artists represented, the marketplace a place where over 40 different vendors come together to make for a fantastic leisurely shopping day.

If you looking to change up your dining room, Cotswold Marketplace is the spot for you as well. If the fabulous mix of mid-century modern, Asian, art deco, and more overwhelm you, they have experienced interior decorators who have vendor spaces as well. The refurbished and repurposed antiques are not what most of us would find in grandma's attic;These fabulous finds are a quite a bit more classy than your Saturday yard sale finds. If I am looking for a place to splurge, this is where I go for that one statement piece that is going to transform a room. On the flip side, this place is as southern as you get. I mean where else can you get a pair of running shorts with your initials monogrammed on them? Or maybe you want Fido to have a chevon printed collar. As you can see, the vendors greatly vary which makes for a surprise around every turn! Happy hunting!

The shop carries local makers and is a great staple in Charlotte! I always find cute CLT shirts, tea towels, koozies, and pictures for myself and souvineers for people visiting. If you follow them on Instagram, they have giveaways and you can view more of the goodies at the shop. Their online site does not do them justice. The market is full of other food places and makes for a good time with family and/or friends! Pro tip: If you park in the garage, you can get up to 90 minutes validated if you purchase something from the market. The kiosk for the validation is in the far corner of the market near the entrance and the wine shop. Of course the light rail is always an option as well and the stop is right in front of the market!

All three drink mixes they were $12 for being there around four dollars each drink mix you can get a whole pack for $12 on Amazon. They do not print receipts and ask for your phone number or email. I hope their system or secure information can be hacked. Hope if you share you do not get a bunch of spam texts and emails just to get a text receipt. Hope your shopping experience ends better than mine.

That kind of welcoming atmosphere makes a difference to me and is one of the reasons I'm happy to support this local business.
