It is at a very convenient location next to other lovely shops and close to the Bellevue Ave where the Tennis Hall of Fame, the Audrain Auto Museum and the Historic Mansions are. After the first time I went into her store when she was on Thames St, I started to follow her on Instagram. Sad when she closed on Thames St., I hoped she would relocate. And she did! I'm so glad we can still enjoy her charming store with carefully curated merchandise, a lovely dog and her welcoming self. If you are around Newport, be sure to stop by and support local businesses like Kristen Coates.

There are some products that are very reasonably priced, and then there are things like $120.00 throw pillow that we found (it might actually have been more than that, but I know it was at least 120.00). Yes, $120 for a throw pillow, you heard me. All in all, I would definitely return knowing what to expect.

The shop is brightly lit and organized with convenient street parking outside. It's a bit further down Broadway, but worth the walk for some excellent vintage finds! I found the most awesome Saw Billy the Puppet necklace here (for seven dollars!), and bought it as a small fun present for myself. I wear it almost every day, and get compliments from fellow horror fans. Their quirky inventory has something for everyone, and this will be my first stop for present shopping this holiday season.

After a multitude of rude experiences I have finally had enough and decided to write a review…read more My first time visiting I bought some yarn and upon checkout I made a comment about how I did not know what I was going to do with it but that I loved the color and had to buy it. A lady who headed into the back room said as she was passing "Yeah I know all knitters are hoarders".....makes you want to buy yarn right? no. so my next visit was with my husband and then newborn. My husband was pretty disgusted by the group of women who sat knitting talking about how hot some police officer in Little Compton was. I guess gossiping woman meet here. my next visit I went with my baby and again there was a group of older women knitting. you know what would have been nice? If one offered to watch my baby for all of 5 minutes so I could shop. No instead they pretty much ignored me. which leads me to my visit today. I went with my 2.5 yr old son. Not an easy task to try to shop and watch your son. I told him he could touch the bell on the way out or else he would sit on timeout, so being a toddler he touched the bell (on the door). So I put him on timeout where he said "Hi" at least a dozen of times to the 3 women knitting. Not 1 of them said hi back or anything. Maybe these women don't have grandchildren. In any case they were rude. Ignoring a 2.5 yr old is really nice. I had over $50 of yarn in my hand that I put back because I could not stand being in a store that had women who could not stop and say hi to my son for all of 5 seconds. I will also add that they have never asked if I needed help finding yarn, needles, or anything. They have never told me about their knitting group that meets ( I heard from some other lady that shops there). It is too bad that the customer service and clientele are so rude. I give them 1 star on friendliness and helpfulness and 1 star because they had buttons I wanted to buy today. I will never ever shop at this store again. i will buy my yarn and buttons online.

The…read moreowner is very knowledgeable and always willing to help someone find yarn that will work for their project and to offer hints and steps that can make your project easier and improve the finished product. I love the selection of yarns and there's always something new to see. I have to take issue with the review by Sarah G. Her complaint about women talking about a police officer they considered to be hot has zero to do with the store. If she's offended by women talking about a good looking man I suspect she's often offended, since lots of women do that. As for expecting the knitters to babysit or entertain her child, she needs to get a grip! I go there to knit and relax not to care for someone else's child. It's a place of business not a day care center. I know the group of knitters to which she refers. They are a close knit (no pun intended) group of friends who've known each other for years. They know me but ignore me, too. Who cares!? I don't expect other customers to cater to my personality or quirks. The store staff has always been helpful, not just to me, but to every person I've seen come through the door.
