“We dropped in on a Saturday in November and were delighted to witness glass-blowing first hand! Jeffrey and his co-workers took the time to explain the process to us and to answer our questions, even though we are from abroad. Our kids (5 and 7) were struck with awe. Thank you and keep up your skillful craft!”
“Knowledgeable owner who cares about the history of the pieces he has. Made a purchase while in store.
Price can vary greatly depending on what you are looking for - but there really is something for everybody here no matter the budget.”
“What sets this store apart is its commitment to uniqueness. No generic, run-of-the-mill gifts here! Instead, I found handcrafted wonders, extremely funny woodblocks and personalized keepsakes. Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or just want to brighten someone’s day, this store has something for everyone.”
“Julie puts a lot of effort into her teaching and her painting and the results of both are pretty amazing. Her paintings are so spectacular in their color and their contrasts and as a student of Julie’s I have to say she works hard at relating to each student on our individual level.”
“My friend Sherry mentioned this gallery, improbably located at the Amtrak station located just outside downtown Westerly. I was skeptical but as I had a couple of hours to kill before an event at the United Theater I had nothing to lose by stopping in. I was shocked, shocked I tell you, to discover what a find this gallery was. I love art, museums, and galleries, and this was well worth my time. There are several rooms of art ranging from jewelry to glassware, pottery, prints, paintings and more. I had no intention of buying anything and I was tempted by the paintings, most of which were in my price range, but succumbed to a gorgeous bracelet, a charming bowl, and a set of wine glasses (all shown below). The person at the front desk greeted me but then let me roam to my heart's content. When I checked out she explained that the gallery rotated its items on a monthly basis (I think that's what she said). I spent an hour there appreciating every one of the items on display; the prices varied so you are sure to find something there at your price point. There was also a special small exhibit featuring African American artists, which I very much appreciated as an African-American myself. This gallery is a hidden gem. One more reason for me to return to the town of Westerly soon, and I am sure not to leave empty-handed!”
“I, like many locals and visitors alike, love this shop! It definitely has a wide assortment of very creative, made in the USA items. That is one of the big draws for me. I gave it five stars because of the kind owner and the eclectic shop. But, to be honest, I would give it four stars due to one employee that does not seem to enjoy her job.This experience is based on two other occasions when I’ve been shopping while she’s been working.The off putting, rub you the wrong way attitude, is not appreciated.If I had to guess about the incident that happened with an another reviewer, my guess would be this was the same employee.I really do enjoy shopping here because of its unique and beautiful items. But, in the future, I will call ahead in hopes that the lovely woman (Marilyn) whom I recently met, will be working instead. Insuring a more pleasant shopping experience.Thank you again for the, made in the USA!”
“I found the perfect picture that I had been searching for over a long period of time. As soon as I saw it in their window, I knew it was the picture I had been hoping to find. The whole experience of getting to choose my framing and matting with the owners was delightful. A+ result!”
“Wonderful shop, very cute and fun gifts, retro toys, puzzles, socks, knee dohs, squishies and more! Myself, a millennial along with a 9 year old spent maybe an hour here and we had a blast checking everything out, reminiscing on older toys and candies from childhood. The owner was lovely, helpful, and very kind!”
