Having been in Midland now for 17 months, I'm still so excited when I come across a new restaurant or store that I haven't been to yet. I'm still in explore mode in my new area--so imagine my level of excitement when I came across The Ivy Cottage while out shopping with my wife! We absolutely love it because it's got a section for everyone! Every holiday is on display with unique items to make your home warm, inviting, and friendly--and stylish with great items to commemorate and represent the season! About a mile and a half or so off Loop 250 on Big Spring Street in Midland--just past Wadley--there is a world of shopping fun that awaits!

Of course, being a guy-my two favorite spots in the store were:

1. THE OUTDOOR SECTION

With awesome grill options, including utensils... outdoor furniture, and seasonings for cooking.

2. THE MAN CAVE

With everything from clothing and accessory items for guys like belts, cuff links and tie clips--to shoes and much more!

LOTS of items to check out for guys... You can spend your time here while your wife looks at the clothes and decor items.

Guys--ya gotta stop in and check it out. And if you're trying to find something unique for a special guy for Christmas--this is your place!

Doesn't matter what you're shopping for--whether it's clothes:

Or something to spice up your home decor for the holidays:

Or just spice it up year-round:

To say that there's a fantastic selection no matter what you're looking for is an UNDERSTATEMENT. I could spend an entire day in this store with my wife and about 3 months' worth of paychecks adding to our home's decor. If you've been there before, you know what I'm talking about. If you haven't, you've gotta check it out. I also love their sense of humor:

Stop by and see what you think! It's definitely one of Midland's gems!
