Ann Hall is the finest antique print dealer in the USA. I've been buying from her for over 30…read moreyears! I love her shop on Bowen's Wharf -- now I don't have to locate her at antique shows all over the country -- and I make it a point to travel from Ohio to see her inventory at least once a year. There is NO ONE more knowledgeable about print art than she and husband, Mark. They know the age, history, and artistic technique behind every print they sell. They have lower priced prints (including wonderful maps) for the casual art lover and the best of the best for the collector. They are delightful, wonderful, and welcoming to all!!! BTW, I saw Ann today hoping to buy two specific prints...left with six!!!

This is the place to stop if you're into Trollbeads! I had searched to see if there were any local…read moreretailers as I really like to see before purchasing and this came up (relatively close - still a nice day trip). I was blown away when I stopped in at the selection of not only Trollbeads (more on that) but interesting items. There was a huge assortment of antiques, new crafts, cards, books, vintage furnishings - you name it, I think they may have carried it! But, back to the beads - Karen came over and she was just incredible. She clearly knows her Trollbeads and a total newbie like me learned so much from her probably less than an hour, it was amazing. Not to mention the huge selection. And, the really affordable prices on many beads that you just won't find anymore. I found Karen to be so helpful and charming and honest. It was a really nice customer experience and I highly recommend visiting Twice Told Tales for anyone in the area. Plus, the downtown is really nice with an assortment of quirky stores and restaurants (and plenty of parking). It really is a hidden gem!

BUT there is a great selection of old books, greeting cards and made in the USA items!! I am so happy I came in and was lucky to find things for an upcoming baby shower!

This is a small and phenomenal resale shop. I can't get there enough. You never know what the…read more store will have at a price to sell. The best service with help to your car for anything you cannot carry. To the negative reviewer- anyone who enters this lovely store, with such a gracious, generous,owner, and feels that they are being (watched) is either extremely paranoid or actually, by their behavior warrants suspicion.

Prices are very fair, so do not try to work staff over for lower prices (that automatically reduce month to month). That said, she who hesitates is lost, so if you're smitten by something do not dawdle, BUY THE DAMNED THING!

This store is very cute! It's located in Banister's Bay Marina next to the Starbucks. It's one of a…read morekind as I've never seen a store with all the products being made of seashells! They have flowers and many different jewelry products available. It's a local business and all the items are home made. There was one attendant there who was helpful in answering questions. I ended up buying a pair of earrings for my fiance and I was very satisfied with the quality and price. I would recommend checking out this store if you're visiting Newport!

A male cashier was kind of upset; no greetings, (I've noticed that some workers in RI is mad and reversed version in NYC...LOL) looked me when am I going to be ready to purchase all. Yes, he asked me few times "are you ready/are you buying this...." No small talk like New Yorker. Since he rushed me, I decided not to buy other items The store has so many things to see with good price.

I recently visited House of Scrimshaw on a recent trip to Newport. I purchased two long sleeve tee…read moreshirts, as gifts. When I got home to PA, I realized the tee shirts were too small. I called the store and explained that I wanted to return the shirts for size and if I included a Fed Ex return envelope would they exchange....without hesitation, they agreed. I was told to address the envelope to Rhonda. After receiving the shirts, Rhonda called me and explained that she could not replace the shirts exactly.... color and logo were different. I said that was fine, I was more concerned about size. Within two days, I received the right shirts. Customer Service was amazing......I am most grateful!

This is a consignment shop that includes ALL sorts of items for the home…read more I know a gentleman who makes wood items and sells them on consignment here, which is what got me in the door. Wish I had taken a look sooner. I see them advertised but hadn't ever made the trip in. Definitely a mistake on my part. There are several vendors selling their wares here and although they are not each marked w/name, etc., of the party making them, the staff know who sells what so just ask if you are looking for something/someone specific. Located in the strip mall near the Olde Theater Diner there is plenty of parking. On my visit they had a number of seasonal items out on the covered walkway to check out before you enter. Once inside, there are three 'store fronts' or rooms to this business. The cashier was working on some paperwork when we arrived and greeted up with a friendly 'hello'. I started on the far right and wandered my way to the far left. There are plenty of those wooden signs you can hang around your house or garden with some very funny quotes, floor shelves, bird houses and feeders (so cute), lots of candles, jewelry, rugs, all sorts of home decor. I went in looking for a bat box but they were sold out so I'll pop in again in the Spring. (Bats eat those pesky mosquitoes and I'm all for that!) I did purchase a couple of things I found while looking around. One as a gift, and one for my garden. I will definitely be making this a stop in future when looking for home and garden. It's important to support your local economy and this business is where it's at!
