The Urban Cottage, Inc. Team is so excited about our gift selection this year! All of us have our own Top Picks of this season and we thought we would share them with you.

First up, is Co-Owner of the mother daughter team, Gail Silverstein. She has carefully selected her Top Ten Holiday picks of this Holiday Season, take a look!

Gail LOVES a good cookbook and thinks this one is a perfect gift for anyone who likes to be in the kitchen. 

These handmade frames come in many sizes and colors. They are a fave of all of ours! Steve Silverstein makes them, the husband and father of the owners & they have fallen in love with these. They are for sure an Urban Cottage staple and make a really great gift for anyone!

Gail is loving the beautiful faceted glass jar candles that are new this year. Her fave scent is pomegrante citrus and it is burning all the time in the shop!

The Locally made, blessing beads are one of her favorite gift items this year. They are special and beautiful.

These alpaca wool scarves are really unique and we can not keep them in! We have had to reorder them a bunch already this season to have them for you! Gail found these and thought that they were a great gift and boy, was she right!

The hand pressed glass pitcher made by Juliska is a great classic gift! Gail always thinks these make a great gift but a really special holiday gift!

We are packed with awesome throws this season. Gail is loving this white cozy throw. It is handknit and perfect for any one on your list!

The felted foxy fellow ornaments are a love of Gail's! We try to get them every year!

The San Francisco made perfume, Vetiver, is a perfect gift for a woman of any age!

Our pewter spoons are always a great go to gift idea. Gail is a tea person and just adores the tea spoons. We do also have a coffee scoop for the coffee lovers!

Local Art by Augusta Wilson Studio.

Nothing makes a house a home more then the art you chose to hang on your walls. It truly makes your space more personal and feel complete. Needless to say, we LOVE art. And, we LOVE supporting Local Atlanta Artists proudly throughout our shop!
We are thrilled to have a fresh new look in the shop right now. It is bright cheery and super happy! It will speak to an Urban Cottage lover.

We LOVE neutrals but think a great pop of color is such a great way to make a space simply perfect. These pieces are speaking to us!

Augusta Wilson's work (a fantastic Local Atlanta Artist) is proudly hanging throughout our shop. It is so reasonably priced!

See below for her story:

Augusta Hyland Wilson is a formally trained fine artist with a BFA in Painting from the University of Georgia and a MFA in Painting from Savannah College of Art and Design. 
In previous iterations of her so-called career, Wilson spent a Summer painting in the hills of Cortona, Italy, created a master's thesis examining the mores of Southern culture, planned weddings and social events for fellow Atlantans, and worked in one of the United States' largest sterling silver shops. She likes her current gig---where she creates paintings inspired by all of these aspects of her life---the best.
Wilson is the sole proprietor of Augusta Wilson Studio. She lives in Decatur, Georgia with her husband and baby son.

Stay tuned for a tent sale coming soon to celebrate! And come on by to get a happy painting (or a collection of them) for your home!

Artist: Augusta Wilson
