This boutique shop has been a mainstay in Wickford Village since 1971, selling a wide variety of local crafts, stationery, glassware, pottery, and quirky gift items. It's a delight just to stroll around and admire the collection of unique and curious goods packing every shelf, and while you can spend hundreds on some one-of-a-kind items, the shop isn't so precious as to eschew a few $10 touristy trinkets, too.
With a hippie vibe, the kid- and couple–friendly Fantastic Umbrella Factory contains a handful of rustic shops built around a wild garden and bamboo forest. Unusual flowers, succulents, and other plants are for sale, along with interesting clothing and jewelry, CBD products, soy candles, creative pottery, Native American handcrafts, quirky gifts, and incense. For a few bucks you can buy a bag full of feed to attract the fenced-in emus and roaming chickens.
