Small place with…read more cool stuff Tag Sale Treasures is a small store located right in Pawtuxet Village. Certainly not a large place, it's cramped and crowded with stuff. Type of place where you have to turn sideways at times to get by things. I'm not sure what the building was built for originally but it is obviously has been around for a while. The inside is basically several small rooms stuffed with stuff. All kinds of antiques, linens, old signs, clothing, furniture and plenty of cool knick knacks and doo dads. Things seem to move in and out quickly so every trip is a new adventure. The folks that work here are pleasant and friendly and let you take your time and look around without bothering you. That's a good thing because there is a lot to look at even though it's all in a small area. Mundane and common things mixed in with the unusual. The last time we happened by we saw a reproduction antique sink that was exactly what we were looking for. The price ended up being substantially lower than on line catalogs we were looking at. It was easy to install and works and looks great. A pleasant and unexpected find in a cool little store.

Because the shop is on the small side and it absolutely filled with goodies, the service is impecable. A warm greeting, a helpful eye, a friendly chat. There's also a section in the back that has children's clothing and other items, and what looked like a sewing station for personalization of any number of items or even tailoring. This will become one of my go-to spots for picking up a lovely gift for a friend or even for myself! Only thing is, no parking means circling Wayland Square or paying for one of the nearby lots.

They have good prices for quality items like those pictures with calming and comedic sayings that you hang in your kitchen, willow tree sculptures, and sometime half priced candles. I bought a mini Birthday card for my friend for only 50 cents! The Christmas section of the store was all half off because of it being September, and was very..very...Christmas-y. Many large and home-y gems like metallic bird baths, major dolls, and rocking chairs lined the back room. This place may not be for my generation, but If your shopping for your elders, preferably from 35-100, this is the place to go for gift time.

I'm not sure where to begin, as I am no antique expert nor am I a thrifter. I am merely in search of a previously-owned dry bar, preferably in good condition with a dash of character. I was so utterly overwhelmed with the sheer volume of items in this shop, it literally took me a few minutes to get my bearings and being rummaging. Lots of furniture - curio cabinets, headboards, end tables and every kind of lamp imaginable. It was all stuffed in so hap-hazardly, had there actually been a bar in there, I don't know that we would have spotted it. I relented and asked The Voice From Somewhere, and alas, there was no dry bar to be had. I can't imagine anything in there is especially precious or considered a real "antique," but stuff there is and loads of it, so if you're in the market for a funky coffee table or a gilded mirror, this is your treasure trove, fo' sho'.

I ended up stuck in the store for probably 15 minutes more than I wanted to as the man working there, who seems like he is a friend of the owner droned on and on about the most random things. For most of the conversation I was completely lost, and it took away from me being able to actually look at the goods. This place is jam packed with stuff - They have a large selection of beautiful stained glass windows and 60s and 70s modern furniture. If you're looking for that style, this is the place. The man did say that if there's something in particular you are looking for, that he would know whether they had it or not, and I think that might be the way to approach this place, because finding something on your own seems a little daunting with the sheer volume of the stuff.
