Nature-inspired designs grace the products of Alice's Cottage such as the spiced filled Hot Pad or the spice filled Mug Mat. They protect table surfaces while the heat from the mug or teapot releases the wonderful aroma. All designs on the array of fabric home accessories and kitchen linens are the original work of owner Alice Backman and crafted with pride by talented seamstresses in the historic countryside of western Maryland. What you will find are useful products with silk screened images reflecting Alice's love of nature, gardening, cooking and the natural world. Our Gift Totes are not only attractive but functional as well. In addition to our fabric line we offer a large selection of paper stationery products including notepads, recipe cards, gift cards, etc. all with Alice's original watercolor designs, as well as a line of authentic colonial period shirts. Our 28 years of experience, superb quality and exceptional customer service will provide you with the confidence and effortless shopping experience you have come to expect from Alice's Home & Cottage.
