She kept telling my kids to put the jelly cats away where they found them even though they were already doing it without her telling them.

I didn't really think they'd work cause I'm under 5' but sales associate Sabrina urged me on. So did my daughter. Between their nods of approval and an onlooking customer commenting on how great they fit, I was sold. Love shopping at Nava cause the vibe is fun, congenial, sincere and helpful. I have been eyeing striped pants awhile but this was the first pair that had the quality feel and smart styling that made them worth a trip into the dressing room. Thanks, Sabrina and Nava! You made it easy to support a small business!

I found a cute shirt on the sale rack and many other cute sweaters that I couldn't afford to pack for my trip home. I appreciated how helpful the staff were. You can tell they really care about making people feel comfortable in their store. It was pretty size inclusive and they had a rack specifically for plus size styles.

Located right across from Lorraine Fabrics, I've been wanting to check this place out for awhile…read more I was finally drawn in during their annual sale. As soon as I walked in, I wondered why it had taken me so long to check it out. Located in an old warehouse, CMI doesn't have that warehouse feel. A good size room, filled with hand-braided rugs and baskets, the place is cheerful and inspiring. Even though I wasn't looking to buy anything, I just couldn't resist purchasing a Pawtucket rug (made from scraps of fabric) and a basket (perfect for storing those odds and ends). The staff were friendly and helped with moving rugs, giving the background to how they are made, and helping to roll them up for take away. While I was there during a huge sale, it seems that even the normal prices are pretty reasonable, as it was, I got a full area rug for less money that my IKEA rug cost me. And it is more beautiful, better made, and local. S This place has been there for 20 years, and is still a hidden gem.

I had never been in a West Elm store and I really liked it. I was focusing on the light fixtures because I have a Mid Century Modern home and they have lots of light fixtures that would work. I just need to convince my husband. I don't think I took any photos, but the store is nice.

Modern Love, opened in 2010 as a sleek, modern lifestyle store with a gorgeous selection of costume jewelry and accessories for home or for a gift. They lines such as Herschel, Brixton, Fjallraven, Paddywax, Crow Canyon Home, Mosser Glass and much more. Every time I walk in, I find the staff very welcoming and helpful. Their customer service is very on pointe and they also provide complimentary gift wrapping for all your purchased gifts and treasures. This last time, I was browsing around for some soy candles and their selection is large. Many types of scents can be smelled, I found the one I was looking for. The store is super dog-friendly. Visit, so you can grab a soy candle, some fun earrings, some dresses for the special lady, some fun books, quality hats or a durable and fashionable Herschel backpack.

Stock Culinary Goods is the cooking store to end all other cooking stores!…read more Every time I go in, the staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, making every visit nothing short of delightful. Their selection is unmatched--Rancho Gordo beans (a cult favorite and nearly impossible to find in stores), beautifully designed Kinto mugs from Japan in every size and color, locally milled flours from Maine, and even Rhode Island classics like Wright's Dairy coffee milk. They have it ALL! Every corner of the shop is thoughtfully curated with the best culinary goods, and the variety is second to none. There's no place on Hope Street I enjoy being *whisked away into more! (*There's a whisk flag outside to beckon you into the store when they're open, so if you see it, let yourself be whisked in too!)

My mom started walking into the store because it is her birthday and wanted to see the jewelry. Immediately upon entering we noticed how beautiful and organized the shop is. Rather small in space with only a few costumers in shop. The merchandise was from all over the world and my family (being well traveled) noticed many heritage pieces. My oldest sister had asked the store owner if she had made the jewelry herself. The woman firmly and with very rude intention responded "what?, what are you talking about NO." Afterwards we attempted to keep light conversation about the countries the items were from. The owner and her daughter are extremely rude and disconnected. They never once looked up at us or bothered to stop texting to answer our questions. On top of it they're very uneducated on their products and extremely over priced for items you can get for bulk on Amazon. I would of purchased some jewelry from this store if the woman would actually care about selling their products. Unfortunately I will never come back here.
