A Magical Journey Through Cozy Cottage Apothecary Imagery

My inner cottage core-crystal-green witch-girly is nerding out.

This is the coolest thing ever.

I asked a few different AI platforms to create some images for me. I asked them to show me, from the customers POV, what my shop would look like if I had a small dreamy imaginary shop that sold plants, crystals, herbs and elixirs in a fairytale setting….

Well, let’s just say Gemini and ChatGPT did not disappoint…

Let me take you on an AI assisted journey through cozy cottage, apothecary, and plant shop imagery. Sit, back, relax, and let your imagination explore how incredibly simple and beautiful it would be to run a simple shop in the woods, or even visit one. I’ve taken the liberty of creatively naming each for your pleasure!

The Ivy Nook

This makes me feel like times are simple, and the most natural remedies could cure just about anything. Heck I’m not sure I’d have any ailments at all living this beautiful of a life! I also love the name “nook” for any shop, cafe or store – a nook makes me feel like I could spend hours cozied up there with a book and a mug of tea!

Fairy Dust Emporium

This one makes me feel like I’m living a fairy tale. Just stopping in to pick up my fairy dust! A sprinkle of this… a dash of that <3 I love the name I chose for this one!

This would be the back room where only very special regulars can enter at the Fairy Dust Emporium, receiving the BEST homemade concoctions and natural remedies! A secret haven filled with recipes, handpicked crystals, and sparkle in every corner.

Vine & Glow

I’m sorry …. but this is the most beautiful workspace ever. I could imagine taking classes here, learning traditional recipes or pairings, or just stopping in each week to pick up what I need. Doesn’t this look like such a stunning communal space?!

Charmwood Treasures

This one looks like a true fairy den. This is giving inviting woodland of crystals and plants, a true mystical safe haven. It’s so beyond charming!

Mystic Mushroom Market

I asked AI to incorporate a shop inside a mushroom, and this is exceeding expectations. The name speaks for itself! What a beautiful market this would be all aglow at night!

Juniper Moon

I’m in love with the open air, breezy vibe to this one. I would LOVE to own a shop like this one day, how incredibly dreamy and picturesque. This is quite literally taken from one of my daydreams <3

Petal & Potion

The shop exteriors are so dreamy. I so badly need to visit this in real life! How darling and quaint! Petal and potion would offer only the best, most enchanting selection of treasures crafted from the heart of nature and infused with a touch of magic.

I LOVED creating these with AI, this was so fun. I think we all need more brain breaks like this. Should I do more of these?! Let me know what you think!
