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 love a bargain. This will give a bit of insight into why I bought a Rowe chair off Craigslist…read morefor $100 and...confession...have stored it in the garage for the last four years. A waste of space until Kreatelier transformed it into a one-of-a-kind gem. Pernilla and the Line are true artists with a customer service focus. They helped me isolate two fabrics, so my run of the mill seat became a juxtaposition of masculine and feminine (see before and after pictures). Top pillows are reversible, giving me two looks in one. Truth be told, it is expensive to reupholster. You've got the cost of fabric plus the labour. With this said, I have never regretted spending a single penny. Open seven days a week = convenient! Now, let's all make a pact to clean out the garage so we can upcycle and make space for the car.

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!

Jade's Gems is one of the many vendors. When we came last time, my friend purchased a bracelet made with high-quality semi-precious stones. Each stone has its own energy, for example Rose Quartz is great for emotional healing and strengthening relationships. Jade's Gems also repairs bracelets, either purchased from her store or from elsewhere. My husbands bracelet that we bought from Hawaii broke so we bought it to her to get it fixed. The repair was $5 and it was ready in 10 minutes. Stop by her booth and check out her bracelets, necklaces, earrings, and more. She is very friendly. Another vendor I checked out was Mrs Liu Handmade who sells knitted bouquets and crochet figures. All the figures are so cute and I want to buy them all. There is also Encanto Cookies who developed the idea of fusing traditional cookie flavors with Latin flavors. We had the Ube Coconut cookie for $4.00 and Red Velvet Nutella (Stuffed) for $5.00. The Ube Coconut cookie had ube with fresh coconut. The Red Velvet Nutella cookie is a chewy red velvet cookie filled with Nutella filling. Both cookies were very soft and good. I am looking forward to getting Encanto Cookies again.
