I really appreciated the ability to order through text, it was really a breeze. I requested something white and similar to the Ocean Breeze or Simple Centerpiece on their website. I trusted they would make something beautiful because of their portfolio. Super nice to work with and very prompt delivery. I couldn't be happier and highly suggest to anyone looking for a beautiful arrangement.

You have to come to pick up the flowers. By the time my friends called Broadview was closed and remained closed the following day when my friends were supposed to leave.

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.

Great prices and constantly refreshed inventory! What a gem!…read more This is probably my most visited clothing shop since our temporary move to South County RI! The plethora of high quality (several still with their original tags) children's clothes, shoes, and toys is spectacular. You will not find prices cheaper than these. She keeps the place very organized and has sales on top of her already well-priced items. Each time I visit, perhaps once a month to get clothes for my 3.5 year old and more so for my now 1 year old, I find I leave with way more than I anticipated! $40 will get me sometimes 10 items! I especially love that she has a $2 off coupon on her receipt to be used within a few weeks I believe. The owner, Nathalie, is so warm and kind. She has an adorable kitten (Miley?) that keeps her company at the shop. I've enjoyed exchanging stories with her. What a wonderful community she has cultivated too! (Didn't realize I had already written a review on this place 2 months ago. Guess it just goes to show how much I love this place!)
