What used to be the florist Eclexions on Putnam Pike in Greenville is now a store by the same name that has the feel of an old-fashioned country shop.

The shelves of the reinvented Eclexions (a play on the word eclectic) have been stocked with mostly one-of-a-kind garden and home dÉcor items. You’ll find collectibles, gifts, greeting cards, jewelry, candles, linens and kitchen accessories. Co-owners Kathy and Emery Tondreau said they also have packed into the shop’s 2,600 square feet some of their own homemade craft items.

Kathy does chalk and pencil drawings (starting at $150 framed). Emery is a stained-glass artist. A set of glass doors he decorated recently sold for about $300.

In addition, he said, “customers bring me old doors and mirrors, and they show me the [stained glass] design they want on their item, and I then make it for them.” .

A former computer consultant, he also created a garden stepping stone with a votive candle holder product (priced at $45 to $125) that incorporates his glass work. The advantage of his stepping stone is that it’s sturdy, a few inches thick and can be placed in a garden or on top of a patio table.

“You can pretty much do anything to these outdoor stones, and they will not crack,” he said.

The Tondreaus said they try to keep most everything priced under $100, and they like to offer lots of knick-knacks for about $15 each. They have a huge selection of signs with inspirational sayings, as well as decorative plates.

“My items are what I call country primitive,” said Kathy Tondreau, who before buying Eclexions more than two years ago worked for a car dealership. The items in the store “are old and pretty,” she said, while “others are new but made to look old and pretty.”

She said she features one of the area’s largest offerings of Willow Tree inspirational statues ($10 to $40). The statues, which look like carved wood, come packaged with a feel-good quote, and have been a hit with local collectors, she said. “They are also a quick gift for teachers and actually anybody else, too.”

Other popular items have been painted duck statues ($22 to $49) made of recycled teak and bamboo from Southeast Asia. The ducks are packaged with adoption papers and eggs Each has a name, she said, and “customers like to collect a whole family.”

When mining for the many treasures on Eclexions’ heavily stocked shelves, you’ll find that the Tondreaus have avoided selling wax candles. Instead, they offer a selection of soy candles, which burn cleaner than wax, Kathy Tondreau said.

“There’s absolutely no soot from soy,” she said. “Any soy that spills from a candle can be easily cleaned up with soap and water, and people with allergies have really embraced them.”

A section of the store was devoted to Rhode Island artisans. It included glass pendants (between $9 and $15) by Smithfield’s Bev Wood; silver earrings and bracelets (starting at $15) by Linda A. Armstrong; pottery by Providence’s Jennifer Fox ; copper pieces by Metal Worx of Saunderstown; and crochet pieces (a coaster is $2.50) by Cumberland’s Donna LaMarra.

Christmas items are always on sale at Eclexions, Kathy Tondreau said. She has a large selection of antique garlands (between $13 and $18) as well as lots of collector one-of-a-kind snowmen, Santa Clauses, ornaments and fake trees. “I try to have things that you wouldn’t find anywhere else all year long,”she said.

She said what put the store on the map when it opened in June 2005 were giant outdoor-indoor tin stars made by the Amish. She was one of the first in the area to sell the designer stars, she said. When she featured them in her store for the grand opening two years ago, she sold out. (Since then sales have dropped, she said, as mass merchandisers began selling knockoffs.)

It’s the Christmas and gardening items, signs, soy candles and knickknacks and some used items she finds in consignment shops that have been flying off the shelves, she said. “My relaxation is searching around consignment shops for things that I know will sell well. I like to think of my shop as an old-fashioned general store that features our hobbies and crafts and new and used collectibles.”
