The Eclectic Cottage

Fall decorating doesn’t always have to mean pumpkins. 🍂

Sometimes it’s simply about bringing in the colors and textures that feel like the season. That’s one of the reasons I love this vintage floral jar so much. The warm rust, deep green, rich blue and creamy white feel right at home in an autumn display — but there’s nothing about it that says it has to disappear once fall is over.

I love pieces like this because they can move so easily from one season to the next. Tucked into a fall vignette now, then styled with greenery, books, flowers, or other favorite pieces as the seasons change.

Today is a beautiful day to come in, wander through the Cottage, and maybe find a unique piece to bring a little seasonal color home with you. 🤎

It’s a quiet little Thursday at the Cottage today… 🍂

John’s Dawg House is out front serving lunch, the Cottage is open until 5:30, and the nursery is still 50% off all plants.

If you’ve been meaning to stop in, today is a lovely day to come browse slowly, see what’s tucked into all the corners, and maybe take home a little something you didn’t know you needed. ❤️

Happy first day of fall from The Eclectic Cottage. 🍂

The nursery is beginning to show all those beautiful little signs that the season is changing — grasses turning golden, hydrangeas fading into their autumn shades, seed heads forming, and foliage taking on richer, warmer color.

There is still plenty of time to tuck a few more beautiful things into the garden before the season settles in. With warm soil, cooler days, and all plants in the nursery 50% off, this is such a lovely time to add a little more color, texture and life to the landscape — and enjoy these golden September days while they’re here.

So here’s to crisp mornings, glowing afternoons, pumpkins, candlelight, a little fall gardening, and all the cozy things still to come. 🍁

Fall Fest is underway at The Eclectic Cottage! 🍂 We have such a wonderful mix of local makers here today — handmade journals, art, knitted pieces, cozy woolens, diffuser charms, herbal goods, coffee and so many other little treasures tucked throughout the market.

John’s Dawg House is serving lunch, the coffee cart is keeping everyone caffeinated, and all of the plants in the nursery are now 50% off!

Come spend part of this beautiful September day with us — we’re here until 5:30! 🤎

One of the things I love most about this little shop is that it never stays exactly the same. I’m always searching for pieces and products that feel interesting, useful, beautiful, or just a little unexpected. Many of the things I’ve chosen for the Cottage also come from local artists whose work fits so naturally into the mix.

The artists I feature do such a wonderful job of bringing in fresh, seasonal pieces that still feel completely at home here, and they’re a big part of what makes The Eclectic Cottage feel so unique. The mix changes from season to season, but the feeling stays the same: collected, creative, a little unexpected, and unmistakably Cottage. 🤎

The nursery is beginning to take on the colors of fall. 🍂

Burgundies, deeper reds, warm yellows and soft, faded tones are settling in, and I love the way they all seem to blend together this time of year.

This Saturday during Fall Fest, our remaining nursery stock will be 50% off — a pretty wonderful excuse to fill a few empty spots in the garden and take home something beautiful for less. And of course the timing couldn’t be better for planting.

We’ll also have local vendors, coffee, hot dogs and treats throughout the day, so come spend a little time with us, wander the nursery, shop the Cottage and enjoy a fall Saturday.

Fall Fest • Saturday, September 19 • 10:00–5:30

One week from today… 🍂

There’s something lovely about a September Saturday filled with local makers, warm seasonal details, good food, something delicious to sip, and a little time to wander.

Join us for Fall Fest on Saturday, September 19 from 10:00–5:30. We’ll have local vendors tucked in around the nursery, John’s Dawg House serving lunch, coffee from Flourish Coffee Cart, seasonal treats, plant specials, and plenty of autumn inspiration to enjoy.

I’ll be sharing more about our vendors and all the little details throughout the coming week.

For now, save the date and plan to spend a bit of your Saturday with us. 🤎

There’s something about September—the evenings begin to cool, the days get a little shorter, and spending time in the kitchen starts sounding good again.

I love keeping a small, carefully curated collection of cookbooks at the Cottage—books I've chosen for their beautiful photography, approachable recipes, and the kind of inspiration that makes you want to spend a little more time in the kitchen.

Half Baked Harvest by Tieghan Gerard is definitely one of them. This gorgeous book is filled with beautiful food photography, approachable recipes, and ingredients that are easy to find—maybe even from your own garden. Just swipe through for a little peek inside. 🤍

This book would be a lovely addition to your own kitchen—or a pretty and thoughtful gift for someone who enjoys spending time in theirs.

Available now at the Cottage.
