So it's Small Business Saturday and if you are a regular reader of my blog, you know I'm all about local small businesses. I like to shine a light on small businesses I find or ones that are recommended to me, and today's business is one that was recommended over and over. It took me a while to get there, but last year when I did I knew immediately why so many folks sent me. I'm referring to Crow Cottage, a charming primitive shop in Chatham NY owned by Jody Sauca whose big smile and infectious laugh make visiting Crow Cottage a little like hanging out with your best friends. I'll confess I'm not a 'primitive' decorator and that's what explains my delay in making my way to Crow Cottage, but I think you'll see from my photos - it doesn't matter. There's something for everyone here and whether you decorate in the primitive style or not, you'll probably come home with something you couldn't live without.

As you browse the photos, keep your eye out for painted surfaces and gorgeous stitchery - both the amazing work of artist Terri Littlefield. That name - and her style - may be familiar because I wrote about her last year. Her work just keeps getting more and more amazing. That red truck above.....wow!

I had a little helper for my Chatham visits - my 7 yr. old granddaughter, Elena. She was using one of my older cameras and helping me shoot. These next two photos are hers. She's a fast study!
Now you understand.....you don't need to be a primitive lover to love Crow Cottage. But if you are.....you've just found heaven! Crow Cottage is located at 3 Railroad Avenue in Chatham. While you're down there, don't forget to check out Chatham Flowers (
Chatham Flowers & Gifts).
I've had so much fun sharing some of my favorite small businesses with you this holiday season. I have two more left, so come back soon to Life As I See It. For more information on Crow Cottage:
