Magnabilities!

Here at Amy's Cottage, we know that it’s hard and be expensive to have a piece of jewelry to match every outfit. Necklaces can pile up, getting tangled and messy and so often we forget what we even have. We are happy to offer an awesome new solution for you... Magnabilities! Imagine, one necklace (or maybe 3) that you could change to match ANYTHING. Well, stop imagining and come check them out!
 
With a wide variety of different necklaces to match anyone's style; silver, gold, leather, pearl etc., all you have to do is pick out a single necklace style you like. All different lengths are offered as well as a variety of pendant choices. Once you have built your perfect necklace, the fun begins! These little necklaces have magnet buttons that pop in and out of the pendants and come in so many different designs that the possibilities are endless!
 
          This awesome, and can we say brilliant, idea was invented by a stay-at-home mom with some fishing wire and magnets... and look how far they have come! They sell their products at over 3,000 stores nationwide, and the only local place is at Amy's Cottage. They offer not only necklaces, but a great selection of earrings, rings, bracelets and even little girl’s jewelry, what more could you ask for?

With Picnic Time outdoor accessories you can have the very best of both worlds!

Perfect for a day trip to the park!
   
The second style comes in a hard plastic, and has a drawstring top allowing for great insulation for food and drinks that need to be kept cool. It’s collapsible body makes it easy to pack up flat, a perfect companion to the beach! The third product shown below is their picnic blanket.

Don't let the clouds get you down...


Even though it may be grey outside... we can still put a smile on your face! :)

 
Here are a few of our favorite blue outfits in the store right now. It's the best way to wear blue without feeling blue. The weather is expected to improve, as will our spirits... but for now, a new outfit might do the trick!
 
 
 

 This first outfit is a dress by Nomadic Traders, it's a pretty lighter grey-blue base with a darker
blue flower print scattered beautifully throughout the dress. We topped it with a light, soft blue cardigan (also Nomadic Traders) and jeweled it up with a blue beaded long leather necklace from About Color.
 
 
The second outfit is a fun summer dress from Noelle, a new Cottage favorite! It's a pretty aqua-blue with two buttons located on the front. It's a two piece dress, it has a dress underneath it, almost like a slip, but with playful textures on the bottom. This unexpected dress will add a fun pop to your summer wardrobe (how are we thinking about summer already?!.... we know) We paired it with an awesome jewel tone blue and green necklace also from Noelle.
 
 
Our third outfit is all from Nomadic Traders, a classic Cottage brand. The dress has a blue, green and black flower design that pops against a plain cream background. We paired it with a light spring/summer jacket that matches the teal blue in the dress. The jacket is adorned with two adorable silver shell buttons. We jeweled it up with a long silver chain necklace with some cool teal and light green glass cubes.

 Remember, April showers bring May flowers.... so lets be ready for a super floral May!

Bring on the Sunshine with Sunlilly!

Sun damage is the leading cause of premature aging... and who wants that?! The very best way to prevent these unwanted wrinkles and sunspots it to keep covered up and protected from the sun. Here at Amy’s Cottage, we know how hard it is to keep protected and look stylish, so we introduce to you, Sunlilly! They offer two products that help keep us safe from the sun’s rays; two different types of pretty sunhats and a huge assortment of sunglasses!
 
Their sunhats are a revelation and they carry two very unique styles. The first is a light cotton hat, perfect for keeping the head cool but offering adequate sun protection. This hat comes with an added bonus, it’s reversible! One side has a solid color, and the reverse has a very pretty patterned design making each hat a 2-for-1 deal! They come in great color choices; salmon pink, hot pink, yellow, royal blue and black  ... all hot summer colors!
 
There second style hat is more of a traditional style straw hat, but made in super cute untraditional colors! These hats offer a little heavier protection from the sun and are still very lightweight. They come in brown, white, black, pink, green and blue. The best part of these sunhats... both styles come with their own cute clutch that the hats can be folded into, and then taken out wrinkle-free! The clutch can then be used for toting along little odds and ends like sunblock and sunglasses (we’re thinking sun protection here).
 
Along with their head gear, they have an unlimited selection of sunglasses for every face shape. Round, oval, square, heart, whatever shape it is, they have a pair of shades to compliment your style. From retro cat-eyes to a modern take on the ‘Ray Ban’ style, we’ve got your eyes covered!
