Whether you frequently browse the stores in downtown Newport or drive past them on your way to class, it is hard to ignore the sheer number of clothing and accessories stores on Thames Street and Bellevue Avenue.
Sometimes, though, boutiques on side-streets do not get the attention they deserve. Two examples are Tini Boutique and Crystal Door Studio located on Deblois Street off Bellevue Avenue, near Twig Newport and Seashells in Bloom.
Tini Boutique and Crystal Door Studio share the same space: Tini Boutique carries handmade bags and décor and Crystal Door Studio carries handmade jewelry and accessories. For three years, the two stores offer customers cute accessories, but the artisan-crafted pieces separate the two stores apart from surrounding boutiques.
Crystal Door Studio owner Mary Quinn takes pride in designing and creating bracelets, earrings, and necklaces to add interest to an everyday outfit or one-of-a-kind pieces for special occasions. Ms. Quinn has shown Crystal Door Studio jewelry at various functions in Rhode Island, including the fundraisers at The Pennfield School and St. Philomena’s School, both located in Portsmouth, RI, and art shows hosted by Artisans by the Bay.
Next time you are in search of a gift or a new, stylish addition to your accessory collection, you’ll be sure find what you’re looking for at Tini Boutique and Crystal Door Studio!
