Today we visited Blithewold to see the beginning of Daffodil days. It has been such a long time since I have been there. It was beautiful. The daffodil’s are about 1/3 out… it will only get better. I have attached a picture from our visit. Enjoy! Read and Discuss

So my husband failed to tell me we have a bird problem. Don’t get me wrong. I love birds! But, why do they have to make a home in my stove/microwave vent? I guess one of our modern conveniences in my colonial style home is now a nuisance? What did they do in centuries past? Unfortunately we didn’t get any pictures of this incident. My son and I cleared out the cabinet over the microwave, rigged a bed sheet and some other objects to direct the bird to the window of... Read and Discuss

If you were ever a customer at the former Old Glory shop in Bristol that I managed from June 2002-March 2005 you may remember Rebekah, the young woman who worked on Fridays and Saturdays. SHE IS BACK!! She doesn’t have a regularly set schedule as she also has a few other irons in the fire but she will be here helping throughout the holidays and hopefully beyond until she decides if she is going to move to Colorado in the spring. I am so happy to have her in the shop,... Read and Discuss

We have exciting news! The shop will be relocating later this month to a new location in Warren. While we weren’t looking to move the business at this particular time many of you suggested that we consider moving to the old yellow barn at 384 Market St. (Highway 136) near the Warren-Swansea line. It has much better visibility, one of the highest traffic counts in this area, and is a charming space that also happens to have windows on all 4 sides that I can open!! It is air conditioned for...

A special performance by Terry’s sister and brother-in-law at her in-store birthday party. With family flown in from as far as Florida and a rose presented to Terry by everyone she greeted it sure was a great way to celebrate turning 50. Read and Discuss

“Treasure Hunt” in the October issue of Rhode Island Monthly magazine features Warren as a destination for shopping for the home. It says “Warren has a medley of shops featuring home-related items - something for every taste, style and budget.” We’d have to agree!Listed number 10 on the list of places to shop (not in order of shopping experience we are sure!) the article says that “Shopkeeper Terry Stone has filled her airy building with country-flavored accoutrements, stunning wood bowls and appealing tin and stone garden appointments.” We encourage you to...
