Decorating a beach house, they've got you covered in the nautical department too. Located next to a cool little Farm Stand/Produce Market which also has some collectibles, and cold beverages.

The wife and I were strolling through downtown Westerly on a beautiful, sunny Sunday afternoon and…read morepopped in. It's a smaller antique store, but somehow, they managed to pack a lot of merchandise in there without it feeling cluttered. On the contrary, the store appears well organized, and it was easy to find prices on items. Admittedly, I'm no antique expert, but to my untrained eye, they had a good selection of antique furniture that was in good condition, and not unreasonably priced, in this layman's opinion. In no way would I describe this shop's wares as 'junk,' as other reviewers have, at least during my visit. A man who I presume was the owner stayed behind the counter during the entire 15 minutes or so we were there. He did not greet us, but then again, he let everyone browse at will, so I did not have any interaction with him. My wife particularly liked a set of four jadeite salt, pepper and other condiment shakers that were a beautiful shade of green like pistachio pudding. Alas, at $150, they were out of our budget.

Charlestown might not be the first place you think of when "amazing shopping destinations" pop into…read moreyour mind, but listen close, because Books on the Pond is here to change all of that! This adorable little bookshop gives a new meaning to the phrase "shop small" - it's one simple, gorgeously designed, and meticulously curated room full of some of the best titles for kids, teens, and young adults. However, what the space lacks in vastness, it makes up for in charm and heart. We visited here tonight because my boyfriend, who is a horror author, did a reading of some of his spooky short stories for Halloween. The event was wonderful, complete with a generous array of snacks, cozy seating, and twisted tales told by candlelight. This is the first of many of these events, which will not only include local author readings, but also book discussion groups and writing workshops. The owner, Alexandra, is super friendly and dedicated to sharing her love of literature with the community and beyond, and if you're a bibliophile, you'll find yourself at home in this bookish haven of her creation! While this was my first visit, I can safely say that Books on the Pond is now going to be a wonderful excuse to visit this part of Rhode Island more often! They have a wonderful outdoor area with a fire pit, which was unusable tonight due to inclement weather (sad trombone), but I am excited to come back another night to enjoy reading under the stars by the warmth of the fire! If you're looking for a fabulously unique shop that's truly off the beaten path, Books on the Pond is the place to go!
