    How does this place not have 5 stars. Ignore older reviews. This place is the spot if you want to decorate your house or buy a special gift. I've taken my mother-in-law, my neighbors, and my friends here and we're in here for hours perusing all the decor, gifts, rugs, jewelry, cards, candles, dishes, whale signs, mermaid carvings, starfish, and tons more. Complete coastal New England decorating vibe with creaking wood floors, too. I've been in here in every season and the owners do an awesome job keeping it fresh with cool house stuff. The staff are super nice & they do an amazing job gift wrapping. For the holidays, it's decorated with ornaments, pine candles, little silver deer, boxes of chocolates and Christmas cards, ornaments, etc. This store is stuffed with decor and gifts. Good fun shopping!

    While waiting for our table at Hungry Haven, we had time to check out the plants, planters, garden decor here. Such a cool little shop, full of home decor, RI themed gifts, local artists crafts, coastal-themed gifts & decor, and clithing. I could have easily maxed out my credit card and furnished my house in all coastal decor. Great shop!! Picked up a couple birthday gifts & got some ideas for Christmas gifts. Check out this great little shop.

    There is a huge selection of gifts and decor items but anyone I have dealt with has been snippy and unpleasant. I don't like going in there.

    Umbrella Factory Gardens

    (4 reviews)

    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.

    SO FUN! I mean, I have been here a bunch of times YEARS ago but it's def been a hot minute since I…read morehad been back. The gardens are spectacular. I could walk around the property for hours looking at all the plants, flowers and gardens. The shops are so fun, funky and all so different from one another. Such an eclectic place with a wise assortment of fun things to see, touch, and do. The bamboo forest was fun and unexpected. I highly recommend stopping by, solo or with the entire fam. There is something here for everyone.
