A very large antique store in a cute CT town called Putnam…read more Store Associates were very friendly. There are four levels to this antique store. I did not notice any elevator so it would be a hard shop for those who are disabled. Not by any fault of the store owners its an old building. I could not tell the vibe if you could negotiate. But the reason they lost a star was because most things we were interested in were double the price. Lots to see it kept us busy for almost two hours!

I understand that this space is a collective of sellers but to have zero vetting of the goods being…read moresold says a lot about the people who own the establishment. There were some pieces I really liked and were reasonably priced but I won't patron a store that has nazi paraphernalia and caricature of PoC.

Locally made crafts/gifts/cards and the store is filled to the brim with lovely things! Good to note: If you put 50 Pleasant street Norwich in your GPS it will take you to the back of the building which is the wrong side. Go past pleasant st and the parking lot is on your left! Or search for Dexters smoothie and Coffee vault. The location is a little odd but definitely a hidden gem!

It's hard to walk away from this store coz it's so cute n adorable and evokes an interest just from the outside and makes you curious on what you may find inside... its quite small .. a hodgepodge of wonderful handmade crafts all made locally in CT... makes for a one of a kind gift... I bought some whimsical clips and rings for the kids and they weren't priced too high which makes it all the more wonderful.... hard to list what you can find coz there are just too many knick knacks but to give you an idea handmade greeting cards, seasonal items... earrings, lip balm holders, hand carved stone animals...you can spend a good lot of time if you enjoy things like this. Also, when you purchase goods from local artisans, you're supporting their business, which helps strengthen the local economy.

Super cute little shop that helps put Hope Street in that category where one can spend a few hours…read moreexploring and enjoying! Rhode Craft is a shop similar to Frog & Toad with local artisans represented but not as comical. Straightforward items from jewelry to home goods to stickers. A few items a little high priced and some reasonable. They had a clearance table, which I love! Again, a great addition to Hope! (I bought a little ring holder dish, black heart shape $3 on clearance)

These two little shops, side by side, are the best part of this adorable mall and are well worth stopping in for a visit! There is also a hair salon, dance store, frozen yogurt place, and more!

My aunt and I came out from New York and we had a great day. It had just started to snow so the grounds were beautiful. We spent so much time in this store and enjoyed every minute of it. There is so much to see. Literally ceiling to floor; wall to wall of Christmas decorations. It's beautiful. I had to take pictures of it all. I wanted to show everyone back home. We were so lucky when we came it wasnt very crowded so we didn't feel rushed; I love the ornaments I bought and my aunt was really happy with her purchases as well. We keep talking about returning, but it is a 6 hour drive from where we live. Maybe this coming year. Also, and the best part of the store honestly is the gentleman who owns the place. He was so nice and just lovely to talk to. We had told him we were from out of town and he wasn't the type of guy that just brushes you off after you make your purchase. He was very down to earth and made conversation with us. He recommended this great antique shop to stop on the way home. He even gave me some a carton of cider on the house. Very nice guy! Also, his dog Clancy is just precious! I would recommend this place to everyone! This place is magical!
