The Blue and White Cottage, an online gift shop, that offers an extensive variety of specialty gifts and collectibles at discounted pricing, by item or collection. Gifts, artwork and collectibles are in mint condition, in their original boxes. My mother, an interior designer, owned and operated three gift shops in Michigan during four decades: The House That Grandpa Built located in Farmington Hills, The Plate Lady in Livonia and The Blue Cottage in National City/Tawas area. The Blue Cottage became The Blue and White Cottage, an online gift shop for discerning shoppers and collectors.
