About Us
Marty and Liz first opened Cottage Creations in the Historic District of downtown Frankfort in August 2000, offering only Irish, and German/Austrian gift items reflecting their own families' heritage combination. In November of 2011 they moved the store back to Frankfort from their homesite in Mokena after operating as a home based business for the preceding 4 years. The property size proved to be too large to maintain coupled with the growth of the store and internet business. Their shop now offers unique home decor, garden items, embroidered & cutwork tablecloths and the Nora Fleming collection of serving ware for all occasions evolving from their original import gift items.
We'd love to stay in touch!
We invite you to enter your email address so that we can keep you posted about new items arriving at the Cottage along with updates and special sale events!

Thank you.
