From an early age I loved all things vintage.I loved to take old things and bring new life to them. While some women were collecting shoes and handbags, I was collecting furniture. A few years ago I fell in love with the little town of St. Marys and couldn’t imagine a better place to call home to raise my daughter ~ Little Cottle.

A chance meeting with another talented lady and a few months later Cottle and Gunn was born. Together our love of paint, old things and furniture created a shop in downtown St. Marys unlike any other.  Our vision was simple…to create a local shop that featured local artists, crafters, and homemade goodness.

Although Gunn retired from the business a year ago…I am happy to carry on what we started together. It is so very important to me to continue to be the small shop that supports locals.  Little Cottle can often be found dancing on the sidewalk and handing out business cards in the summers and some Saturdays!
