I bought myself three pairs of earrings and I absolutely love them so I went back a second time took my family and my kids definitely wanna go back again so it looks like we found our little local gift shop to buy gifts for family and friends. The prices vary and one local artist was dropping off her jewelry when I was shopping the first time so it was nice to see that Cheryl supports local artist. I hope you stop by and check out some of the things inside the store. I think you'll be very happy with not just the amazing customer service but all the cute little things that are sold in that store.

Full disclosure: I am a big Nicholas Cage fan. So, when our Gansett Cruises tour guide told us that…read moreformer Newport mansion owner/resident Nicholas Cage frequented Scrimshanders due to his love of scrimshaw and his nautical and paleontological interests, this became a must-visit spot for me. I fanned out on the boat when I heard that factoid and then later in the store - to my husband's amusement. (I grilled the two staffers who were working that evening about Nicolas Cage ) Scrimshanders is a small store, but it is packed with what you could get as unique souvenirs/gifts but also inventory for more serious collectors ($$$). As a personal trinket for myself, I bought a nautical knotwork bracelet. For my musician husband, I gifted him a whalebone guitar pick that had hand painted illustration on it; it was a perfect gift that would serve as a way for him to remember our first trip to Newport together.

This is such a sweet store! As a first time needlepointer, I came in on a whim and left with whimsy…read moreand EVERYTHING I could need to take on a new hobby. I came in one afternoon with my toddler and zero background in needlepoint and the ladies in this store were so helpful and accommodating. I found a lobster canvas (on the larger side) and I knew that this canvas was what I wanted to start with even though it wasn't meant for beginners. The ladies helped me pick out all the yarns needed and talked to me about the difference in materials and what goes well with what. I needed to learn how to do the basic stitches and even though my son let living their pencil jar around the store, everyone was so sweet and they took the time to teach me different options to start and finish and of course mastering the continental. The options were so cute and I am so grateful to not only the ladies working there, but all the women stitching in the back area who showed me their designs and were very encouraging. While needlepoint is an expensive hobby, they talked to me about prices and were really transparent. It didn't take long for me to find other needlepoint shops closer to home and I honestly think the level or service and options provided at other stores around Boston have not compared to the ladies at Needlepoint by the Bay.

They have a few t-shirts for sale too. Books include local authors, famous authors, fiction, the history of witch trials such as in Salem, MA and several other non-fiction topics. I picked up a book I have been hoping to find for years now; the original stories by the Brothers Grimm. None of this tinkerbell fairytale stuff. This is raw, gorey, brutal stuff. The woman who assisted me was such fun to chat with and made some recommendations based on my interests. Definitely more books here I plan to return for. They even have a small area out the door (in the center of the building) to sit and read if you have time, or can't wait to begin your new book. Seriously, I have passed this shop half a dozen times and didn't realize what I was missing until I read their write up in Rhode Island Monthly magazine. Very glad I did!
