“My husband and I came to the store from Massachusetts right before they closed at 2:00 in a Saturday. We thought they were open till 5:00. Cheryl, the owner, stayed beyond closing for us and helped us choose the perfect fabric. She never rushed us or made us feel badly about keeping her there. She is such a lovely woman. I love shopping there for all my work and personal home projects. Great selection of the latest styles and their fabrics never look dated.”
“I would recommend Leeside Antiques to anyone visiting Newport. There is a great variety of items and an incredibly kind owner. I spoke with Cindy for some time about the impressive watch collection she had which she was happy to share about, as well as happy to negotiate on price.”
“My friend and I were so charmed by the art and gift selections. From puzzles to embroidered napkins and more, we kept saying “these are gifts I’d actually want.” And the art is varied and whimsical—we especially loved the solid color + text-based art. I am bookmarking this shop for my next trip to Newport!”

“Great shop in Portsmouth! A real hidden gem. Beautiful pottery and gorgeous alcohol based prints for sale! Literally something for everyone. Plenty of inventory and a wonderful owner artist!”
“I discovered this amazing shop when they were in Wickford, RI. I’m living in Florida now and always make a stop here when I’m back in town. Delightful space to wander, creative display and I always find a treasure to bring home. Don’t miss this delight!”
“The customer service at Ben's is top-notch. And the decor is fantastic for beach-themed properties. I couldn't be happier with both the pieces purchased and the staff. Dave and Hope were great.”
“I wore shorts and a t-shirt to Newport on a recent day trip with friends. It turned out to be much chillier in the morning than I anticipated, so I decided a souvenir long-sleeve shirt would be the perfect addition to my wardrobe.We happened to park near Frazzleberries, which I'd consider a more upscale souvenir shop. They have lots of high-quality goods -- gifts, magnets, clothing, etc. I was looking at a different shirt when a friend pointed out one that was SUPER soft. I tried it on and was immediately sold. The fit, the material, all great, and at a reasonable price. I want to say $35?I also bought a very nice Newport magnet at the checkout counter.A very successful visit!”
“We had such an enchanted walk through this shop! It is an absolute wonderland of colors, textures and shapes. The creativity of their pieces has me oooing and aaahhhing. The person watching the shop was so friendly and I was so pleased to meet them! We got a handful of their individual beads and I treasure them already.”

“Such a fun store to stumble into while walking around the Wharf. Primavera Newport is full of unique, quirky items that make great gifts... or things you didn’t know you needed until you saw them.
Most of the displays made me laugh (in the best way). It’s one of those places where you keep saying, “okay wait, this is cute” or “who would I buy this for… oh, me.” We ended up grabbing candles (which smell amazing and weve already started burning one of them), but everything from the books to the mugs to the little novelty pieces felt thoughtfully curated and different from the usual tourist shop finds.
Perfect spot if you’re looking for a gift that isn’t boring or generic, or if you just want a quick stop that’s lighthearted and fun. Definitely worth popping into while you’re on the Wharf.”

“Beautiful gift shop in historic Tiverton, RI. Unique and curated gifts available for all occasions. Delightful small business that supports so many artists and designers. ?”
“Highly recommend this place. Needed replacement glass for thermal insert window, which arrived exactly when they said and was installed immediately. As a plus, they helped me figure out how to replace latches on the thermals throughout my house and referred me to a place to buy them. Above and beyond!”
“Newport Yacht and Home Interiors redid 4 interior couches on our 105' sailing yacht. They worked within our time frame, managed to source, or already had the fabric we chose, used the cushions we already had, and managed to do it all at an incredible reasonable price. I found Cheryl to be knowledgeable and professional. This will be my go-to company for all future projects of this nature.”
