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!

The Fantastic Umbrella Factory was established in 1968 by Robert Bankel on an old farm homestead in…read moreCharlestown, RI. He started in one small building, built in early 1800's as a Temperance Hall, selling penny candy and unusual gifts. He soon expanded his operation into the old barn, increasing his volume and adding a Cafe in the rear. He also brought in local craftsman to work and sell the wares on site. All the while he was beautifying the landscape of the complex. He has since retired. Today the complex looks like this: Small Axe Productions which has become the anchor store of the complex. David M. Turano, Jack Wright, and Peter Esak started the shop back in 1974. Jack does stained glass work, Peter blows glass and David make pottery. Little by little they have added other merchandise to the shop and now it's almost like a department store without departments. They sell hand crafted wares and also jewelry, clothing, hand crafted stuff from all over the world, musical instruments (lots of drums), Tapestries , and much more. The Umbrella Factory Gardens have been there almost as long as Small Axe. Patrick and Erin Shellman have a fantastic array of fancy plants, specializing in perennials. Their green houses and the grounds around them are truly a site to see. Frills is another shop that has been around for a few years. Suzanne Terry has a great collection of clothing, jewelry and very different gifts. The General Store and Axiom are the new comers to the Umbrella Factory. The General store sells candy, toys and gifts for the young and young at heart. Regina has fashioned the shop after the original Umbrella Factory store. Barry specializes in vintage eyeware in Axiom. He also has organic soy candles made in Charlestown. The Small Axe Cafe opened in December 2010. Chef Gino Turano serves up some of the best meals in Rhode Island! Organic and local are the route they take serving dishes for every palate, vegetarian, fish, poultry and even some local beef. Prices are very modest and the policy is BYOB. Gino grows lots of the veggies on site and at the Mystic 5 farm in Stonington. Also there several craftsmen who set up and sell their wares outside by the fountain. There are 3 Emu's, George, Penelope, and Lily (who happens to be a male) some chickens and lots of ducks. You can pet at your own risk. There are several beautiful perennial flower gardens on the property. They were established by the previous owner, Robert Bankel. He also planted lots of interesting trees. There's a beautiful Umbrella Pine, a handsome Dawn Redwood, and many other interesting species. The place is almost like a retreat from reality....A visit here takes you back to the days of "hippie compounds" with lots of colors, textures and fun stuff to browse. You can spend 5 minutes or a few hours here. The place is relaxing, if you want to bring a book and read under the trees...or if you want to take a stroll around the bamboo forest or feed the chickens. A nice place for a relaxing time.

The selection of jewelry was large and so very breathtaking, yet at reasonable cost for such quality. We were fortunate to meet the lovely owner, Karen, who described many of the pieces offered there as well as the services provided to assist customers as they select gifts for themselves or others. She was fascinating as she thoroughly described any piece we happened to notice. It was obvious that service here is wonderful as Karen is extremely knowledgeable of her stock. The nautical signal flags collection is captivating. Looking at all of the shiny sterling silver charms made me imagine a whole new "huge jewelry box" that I could create for summer outfits!!! I love nautical and if you do, don't hesitate to visit Style Newport at your earliest opportunity!!
