I *love* this place. I've been lucky enough to find myself on Block Island a few times now and the…read morelast time I was here I finally stumbled into Blue Pottery. My friends have been raving about their products for years, even putting a bunch of their plates on their wedding registry. I happened to be walking by as I wandered town (the space is a touch outside of the main downtown but without question within walking distance) and decided to pop in. I'm so glad I did! The woman working there was incredibly kind, talked with us about the pieces, and even knew my friends who put her plates on their wedding registry! I left with a small handle-less tumbler. It has this beautiful glaze that drips down a little over the lip of the cup to present a beautiful finish, especially when matched with the more matte texture of the clay itself. I use this as my go-to coffee cup and I adore it. Not only does it feel great to drink from and look great when I look down, it reminds me of the beauty of BI. Could not recommend this place more!

Unassuming from the outside, when we entered we found a delightful, charming and beautifully-curated collection of home decor, hand-dipped candles, nautical-themed tchotchkes, original and lithograph wall art, and other such items, most of which are crafted locally. We were also impressed with the friendly and knowledgeable staff. We spent more than a few dollars here buying knick-knacks and gifts. The only problem now will be getting it back home to Kansas! Totally worth stopping in of you're in New Bedford!

The doors were already locked and an older blonde woman promptly waved through the door that they were closed. She came over to the door when we continued to stand there, and we pleaded to her to let us run in and buy a coffee mug. She told us no, and that they were closed. We told her the website said they were open until 7PM and she responded that it was "an old website," and "we close at 6" (It was still at least 3 minutes until 6PM). She rolled her eyes, huffed and puffed, and unlocked the door to let us in. As we were greatly thanking her, she sarcastically responded, "I would love to get home and I know my family would absolutely love for me to come home too." While we are greatly appreciative that she let us buy the coffee mug (We were in and out of the store within 45 seconds), we did not appreciate the unnecessary attitude. We will not be returning and if you plan to visit this store, ensure they are open beforehand, to avoid being disappointed and encountering rude employees.

I've seen the Purple Cow advertised time and time again in local theatre programs, but never had…read morethe chance to visit until a few days ago. Boy, am I glad I took the time to check them out! This is a fantastic little local business that redefines the concept of "shopping small" by offering a wide array of locally made products - everything from handmade clothing to soaps and creams. The next time you have a present to buy for someone, the Purple Cow should be the first stop you make. Speaking of presents, they even have a section of birthday and special occasion cards, which makes it an easy one stop shop for all your gifting needs. While a lot of the inventory tends to lean toward the yogi-earthy-crunchy set, they have a great section of toys and stuffed animals for the young and young at heart, plus a whole lot of classy jewelry that's also made by local artisans. The Purple Cow is a must visit if you find yourself in Wakefield, RI, and need to purchase a memorable gift for a loved one, or simply just want to browse around a truly wonderful small local business!

I had a GREAT experience today. Staff asked if they could help, and they located a pair of earrings I was looking for that I didn't see displayed. I told them they were for an upcoming photo shoot and, when I accidentally left them on the store counter, one of the staff jumped in her car to find me. She didn't, but she did offer to meet me half way so I didn't have to drive an hour to get them! Or she offered to mail them to me at their expense. Who does that anymore?! They have beautiful things that are reasonably priced. I always make a point to stop by when I'm in the area!
