Lisa’s Cottage is a special store because it combines antiques, vintage, and resale. Most of the items are affordable and I really like the tasteful display. Unlike Hillcrest, La Mesa has easy metered parking with diagonal spaces. Very pedestrian-friendly. Back to Lisa’s Cottage. Lisa, the store owner, is always finding new treasures so there’s always something new when I go. Like The French Garden Shoppe, I can always count on Lisa to make sure that if I’m buying a gift, she will wrap it up as such. Less work for me! It’s really a pretty little store. It should not be La Mesa ‘s best kept secret, more people should know about it and go there.
