​

we have the largest selection of handmade readers in Rhode Island!
 with flowers, wood veneers, tamisé (gold and silver leaf) and flocking.  They are professional quality frames, which means you can put in your prescription. They are unusual colors, ​and shapes so take a look and you will see.  We have frames that have a single flower or many, frames that are made of velvet or metal.  


​When you wear our frames you will have to get used to all the compliments you will get...

We're located through the archway of 3-23 Acorn Street. ​​​​Drive through and park near our tiny house. We're in the loading dock, to the right of the RISD loading dock. (We even had a ribbon cutting with Mayor Brett Smiley!)
