WHY OUR TREES ARE BETTER 'Tis the season to look for artificial Christmas trees. Yes, ours seem expensive, but the quality is superb. The trees we carry offer a 10-year warrantee on the trees, and the Christmas Cottage will fix any light issue for 3 years after you purchase it as long as you keep your receipts. Our 30 year history of support is the difference you're paying for. We recommend you go to the big box and hardware stores before you come to the Christmas Cottage, then you'll see the difference in quality and year-round support! Our trees are made with high quality materials and have a metal instead of plastic hinge construction. They also have a patented lighting system so the lights are evenly dispersed with no unsightly wires, making them last seasons longer than the competition. |

YOU SPOKE, WE LISTENED We had a great time at our feedback party on November 7th, and the not-so shocking surprise is that you LOVED the d'essense perfume line! In fact we had higher sales that day for a single product than we've had in a long time. So---Yes! We are now fully licensed to special order the full line of these fragrances. In a nutshell d'essense manufactures the identical pure perfumes as the major design houses, yet they average 80% lower cost because of the direct marketing and sales strategy. Stop in or call us for more details, we'll even hold a party in your home or business to make it easy to do your Christmas shopping! |

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS Christmas Lights from the Christmas Cottage are the right choice for your decorating needs. Our lights are individually wired, meaning that half of the strand wont go out if one bulb is bad. They are also wired to be much farther apart making each strand longer in length than the competition’s few inches. This also leads to more even lighting. Lights begin to get bunched up while wrapping a Christmas tree if the lights are too close together. And because our 50 light strands are longer than most of the competition, you don't have to purchase as many packages, nor do you have to stack as many electrical plugs. Call (321) 725-0270 with questions. |

MEL-O-DY Any form of art in its purest state has the power to leave a lasting impression on the mind and soul. Be it a beautiful painting, a lovely sonnet or a moving musical score, artistic expression has the ability to universally communicate beyond the five senses. Contemporary artist Michael Flohr’s expressive paint style is just such a celebration of the senses. Moving beyond the visual, his work plays like an audible picture sifted through the eyes with emotional impact. “Mel-ody” is a work of art that beautifully and uniquely serves this intention. Once again, the artist’s wife and muse, Melissa (a.k.a. “Mel”), stands center stage. Click here to view the details. |
