TGIF! Let's Party with Lolita!


After a long and stressful week, what better way to unwind with a nice glass of wine or a tasty mixed drink? With this relaxing treat, what better way to enjoy it then in an individualized wine or cocktail glass? How about that cocktail party you're hosting,  how cool would it be to have all your guests have their own cup to suit their own personality... and imagine further if they had their own drink?! Bridal showers, birthdays, parties, weddings, baby showers... the list of events in limitless.

Thankfully, Lolita has stepped onto the scene and offers drink ware for every occasion. Each glass is hand painted and has a personality all of it’s own. On the bottom of every glass comes a little recipe for concocting the perfect drink recipe. Taking the time to recognize someone for something they’ve done, or just who they are to you can mean a lot; and doing it in a way to make them feel unique is like no other.

Moms, grandmas, recently-single girlfriends, expectant moms, dads, sisters, friends and even the most difficult person all have their own personality and special place, so treat them that way. With funny saying, pictures, designs and colors these glasses are all very different from another. These make great gifts for any occasion, and can even make your own tasty drink oh-so-much better! Come check them out!

Keep it Positive with Alex & Ani!

 
           Here at Amy's Cottage, we know that with all the bad news going in the world it can be hard to focus on the good things in life. Thankfully, we have new Alex and Ani bracelets to bring out the positive energy in everyone! These bracelets (super cute dangles) are created with a special energy and help get your chi flowing. All made in the USA, they are also very eco-friendly; made out of recycled metals (we love Mother Earth!) and they recycle leftover scraps too!
 
           Founded in the little state of Rhode Island, these trendy dangles have taken off in a BIG way. They have a variety of meanings; in fact each bracelet has its own special meaning and message for the wearer. Things like religion (Mother Mary, Saint Anthony, Saint Christopher & more), luck (the Calladah, lucky clovers & more), inspiration (tree of life, eye of Horus, lotus blossoms & more) and even old fashioned besties bracelets are just some of the different meanings these bangles carry.
 
           They’re one of a kind, and each one has a special message for the wearer. They’re perfect for a friend, sister, mom, aunt, niece, grandmother, girlfriend, wife… you get the idea! We’ve all been awaiting their arrival, so come check them out. We just got a HUGE shipment in... just in time for Mother's Day and Graduation!
