The Corner Cottage brings together the feeling of Christmas Eve and Summer Time at the lake as acorns and squirrels go together.

"The angled stairway leading from the store front to the main store really feeds the intrigue: a nod to the history of the building and a foreshadow of the nostalgia to come. Rounding the corner into the shop, wicker baskets, exposed brick and varying shades of red, set the stage.

Standing in the center of the store, you’ll feel a mix
of familiarity and acceptance. As you begin to weave through the store, it’s hard not to take notice of how"...

The Spellbound Owl landed a magical spot in the magazine!

"Crystals line the windows, art fills the walls, and at the right angle, you can find the sun dancing through stained glass created by local artists. The Spellbound Owl was one of the original stores to open within Choate Marketplace in 2023.
Originally from Metro Detroit, Ashley and her husband, a musician, were passing through Brooklyn and couldn’t shake their intrigue for the small, picturesque Village that hardly resembled the metro areas they were accustomed to. Falling in love with the charm of"...
