What makes it a Rhody Gem?
Vintage chairs, birdbaths, live topiaries, ethereal lighting fixtures, antique garden tools, garden pots of every size – this delicately curated collection is lovingly overseen by owner Jill Buckley. Like a miniature version of European flea markets, enchanting finds are tucked into corners or perched on the ground, such that browsing becomes a sensory adventure. “The shop was created by tastemaker Eleanor Gob is more than 26 years ago,” says Buckley – with help from curator Michael Sederback. “I’ve tried to maintain her early vision for beauty and pieces worthy of Newport’s “cottages and gardens.” If you see something today, it could be gone tomorrow, adding to the store’s sense of magic. “The shop is very welcoming and delivers a lot of inspiration,” says Buckley. “I believe part of our appeal is that we decided to stay small and old school.”
