The Cottage

When you hear people talk about that book The Secret Garden, you think wouldn't it be nice to go there. Well, you can! Or at least the closest you can get. Groundswell at Tiverton Four Corners. These people do magic with green things and their colorful adornments.

I know. You are going for beautiful hand printed tea towels, the crisp mossy colored linen aprons, felted hedgehogs and sparrows, tabletop leaded glass greenhouses, earthenware platters and hob nobs.

The garden room at the doorstep is the gift.

Great store but the staff, ?owner was rather unpleasant. She never said "Hello" or "thank you" and while I would go back I feel inclined to mention this as a reminder that we need to acknowledge others for shopping in this time of COVID and support of small business. I have taken the lack of concern for my being in her shop and tried to express thanks to those of see me in my practice. Good lesson learned.

The Cottage is my favorite shop in Tiverton, Rhode Island. The owners have impeccable taste - you'll find everything from furniture and interior design services to an extraordinary array of gift items. Ideal for hostess gifts, birthday or wedding gifts. Very helpful, friendly staff as well.

Lovely place...one of our favorites....So glad it continues through the pandemic.

Out of my way, but always worth the trip.
