Autumn is the best time of year for many of us. The sun is bright, the air is crisp and fresh, and the cheerful reds and golds of trees and plants make us smile.

Urban Cottage is freshly decorated for fall with fun decorations, beautifully crafted lampshades, handmade soaps, subtle plaid pillows and throws. There is an abundant selection of tables, buffets, shelves, mirrors, glassware, vintage jewelry and clothing. Everything from elegant to industrial is beautifully displayed. A bonus feature this month is a special outdoor vintage flea market next-door on Saturday from 10 to 5 with guest vendors. Urban Cottage’s address is 5157 Bloomington Avenue South. Store hours are today until 7, Thursday from 10 to 7, Friday and Saturday from 10 to 6 and Sunday from 10 to 5. Happy saling!
