It is said that The Providence Design District is home to some of the most talented jewelry designers in the world. From classic styles to modern and unique pieces.
Since the 1880s the Jewelry District is a hub of creativity and artistry along with... spying, espionage and missing designers - last seen on Newport's Cliff Walk with her faithful dog Louie.
It was Monday Morning. The start of a new week.
Bethany arrived at her jewelry design studio in the Heart of The Providence Design District with her trusty sidekick dog Joey, in tow.
She had heard rumors of a new jewelry designer, Joanne, and was eager to meet her. As Bethany made her way around the district, she noticed an odd tension in the air.
"What's going on here?" Bethany asked one of her fellow designers.
The designer shrugged. "I'm not sure. All I know is that Joanne, the new jewelry designer, went missing after a weekend on the Cliff Walk in Newport. No one's seen her since."
Bethany's curiosity was piqued. She had to find out what happened. She set out to find clues. Everywhere she went, she heard whispers of espionage.
She started asking around and soon discovered that Joanne had made some powerful enemies in the jewelry design industry.
Bethany was determined to find out the truth. She tracked down Joanne's little dog, Louie wandering along the Cliff Walk dragging his leash behind him. Bethany followed the little brown and white terrier to a secluded spot on the Cliff Walk. In the distance she could see Joanne, unharmed, but surrounded by a group of shady characters.
Bethany quickly realized that the group was part of a jewelry design spy ring. Joanne had inadvertently stumbled upon their plans and they were trying to keep her quiet.
Bethany sprang into action and quickly got Joanne out of danger. She took her back to the Design District and the two quickly became friends.
The jewelry design industry was a cutthroat business, but Bethany was determined to make sure that Joanne and her designs were safe. With the help of her new friend, Bethany was able to put an end to the jewelry design espionage ring and protect Joanne and her designs.

Yes. It was the beginning of a new era in the city.
Three fresh Providence college graduates stood looking at empty store fronts in downtown Providence RI.
As if frozen in time, it seemed like everything stopped, the three young women stood like statues in awe of the designs, the creativity and innovation they knew they could create here.
Rachel, Sara, and Julie had a passion for store front beauty.
These three women wanted to create something that would bring life back to the streets of downtown Providence, Rhode Island.
"Let's get back to the office to plan and brainstorm," Sara said. "We need to focus on creating visual designs that featured the famous tourist attractions in Rhode Island," she said on the way back to their walk up Westminster Street office.
"You know," Julie said, "because of Amazon and online shopping these storefront will be empty for years."
"We definitely have to come up with something that will be Creative & Innovative!" Rachel remarked.
Once they got back to their new design office, the three designers started by researching the latest trends in store front design, visiting other stores in the area, and talking to local business owners. They also attended workshops and seminars to learn more about the industry. After gathering all the information they needed, they began to sketch out their ideas and create a plan for their vacant storefront visual designs.
Then the three designers worked together to create a modern, inviting, and unique store front designs for empty store fronts.
They used bright colors, interesting shapes, and unique materials to create a space that was inviting and
eye-catching. They also incorporated elements of their own personal style into the design.
They all knew it was the beginning of a new era in the City since the Providence Design District had been established and Rachel, Sara, and Julie knew they were graphic designers at the forefront of this new movement.
You see these three women were friends since at RISD and Brown and they decided to combine their expertise and create a web design and graphic design studio in downtown Providence. ...

Charlie, The Frenchie
Daisy, The Mini-Schnauzer
Lucy, The Cocker Spaniel
By AB Marcus
Popular Providence People of Rhode Island were growing increasingly uneasy. For months, rumors had been circulating about the Breakers Mansion in Newport and the trio of Providence interior designers working within its walls.
No one knew what was really happening inside, but all could feel the incredible imaginative presence of talented interior designers at work, because this was the first time in 100 years that the décor of the mansion had changed.
Jenna, Natalie, and Spencer were three established Providence, Rhode Island interior designers. They each had adorable dogs - Jenna had Charlie a cream colored Frenchie, Natalie had Lucy a strawberry brown Cocker Spaniel, and Spencer had Daisy, an adorable gray colored Mini-Schnauzer.
The trio had been working on a new interior design project for the Breakers Mansion in Newport for the past few months and during the whole project their dogs never left their side because they were Official Registered Service Dogs.
The team had worked tirelessly to come up with the perfect design for the mansion and were almost finished when they encountered an unexpected problem. One of the items needed for their design was a rare lamp that could only be found in a small shop somewhere in the state of Rhode Island.
Jenna, Natalie and Spencer had all agreed that having the lamp was essential for the project, but now they were running out of time.
The team decided to split up and search for the lamp across the state. Jenna and Natalie headed to the shops while Spencer stayed behind to work on the design.
As Jenna and her little dog Charlie headed north to search the shops from Burrillville to Woonsocket, Natalie and little Lucy searched the shops from Warwick to Narragansett.
Finally, Natalie and Little Lucy dog found the perfect lamp at a little shop called Shaw Pottery in Wyoming, Rhode Island. But when Natalie went to purchase it, she was told the custom made display model wasn't for sale and that the shop had already sold that lamp to someone else.
Jenna and Natalie returned to the mansion, empty-handed and discouraged.
However, when they arrived back at the Breakers Mansion, they found Spencer's Daisy, his little Schnauzer playing in the closet when she dragged out a box with an equally beautiful lamp for the design, right on the Breakers Mansion estate.
Jenna, Natalie, and Spencer all looked at each other and smiled, realizing the moral of their story...
A lamp in the hand is better than two in the catalog.

"See & Be Seen"
By AB Marcus
Is it believing is seeing? Or seeing is believing?
Frankly, nowadays it's hard to tell how things really work. But not for our trio of curious Providence Designers who just discovered something that will need more mirrors than smoke.
You see Vincent, Faith and Becca are all VISUAL RISD Design Graduate students working on a new holographic projection system that actually works with smoke and mirrors.
"It's not well known," Becca steps up and says. "The smoke is actually vape smoke which is far more projectionable than regular smoke and non-toxic, plus it dissipates quickly!"
"And the high refresh rate of 144 pixels per inch laser dispersion which creates an amazing 3D quality to everything," Faith added.
At their little office in the PVD Arcade on the Westminster Street side they've been working night and day for weeks.
They are about to introduce their latest digital device, a "Goggle-FREE" holo-projection screen system giving the user a complete visual experience.
They call it "See & Be Seen" tech that dispels the serious personal safety trade offs while wearing VR head goggles.
We can now report... the new "See & Be Seen" tech works. And it works Very Well!
This invention will give users a new way to experience the world, and in turn, has inspired people from all walks of life to explore the unknown and push the boundaries of holographic VR reality.
Once again the world has been changed by this team of fascinating cooperative Providence Designers, and this is only the beginning...

"Irish Twins"
"Irish Twins"
True Irish Tales Only Told on Saint Patrick's Day...
True Irish Tales Only Told on Saint Patrick's Day...
By AB Marcus
"When the "Irish Twins" were born less than one year apart, the family joked that they'd be joined at the hip - but little did they know how true that would become..."
The Quinns were a family of six from County Cork Ireland.
Carmella was the oldest, Anna was next then, Lindsay and Jason. Carmella and Anna were "Irish Twins" because they were born within ten months of each other. But they were also called "Irish Twins" because they shared a "Twin" ~ equal distrust and dislike of their two younger siblings and were always working together to undermine their hopes and dreams.
Their family and grandparents adored all the children of the Quinn family. The grandma Mamie especially adored her grand daughter Lindsay. However, Carmella was so jealous of her little sister Lindsay and Jason that she wished her grandma were dead.
Then one night in a dream Carmella got a premonition that their beloved Grandma Mamie would die in a car wreck. No matter how frightening the dream was Carmella refused to tell Grandma Mamie about this fate.
The car crashed. Grandma Mamie died.
It all happened exactly one week to the day that Carmella had the dream. Carmella was stunned and confused, yet something inside her was full of glee to see Grandma Mamie out of their lives.
A few years had passed and one day their Dad Leonard stumbled upon a kitten that had fallen down through a street grate and needed rescue. Leonard's long arms just barely reached the kitten and it was saved! He brought it home that day and Lindsay and Jason named the little kitten Stevie.
Stevie the rescue kitten grew up quickly and became a source of joy for the family especially Lindsay and Jason. Carmella had observed for a long time the joy that Stevie had brought to her youngest siblings.
Anna and Carmella started in to planning how they could stop this happy experience, plus Carmella hated the smell of the cat box and didn't want it anymore.
Anna and Carmella decided to rehome the cat while Lindsay and Jason were at church one Sunday morning. When they arrived home, Stevie was gone.
"Have you seen Stevie, Carmella, Anna?"
They both said at the same time, "I don't know anything about it."
Heartbroken Lindsay and Jason looked for days and weeks to find their beloved cat. They put up signs, but nothing. A couple of weeks later to make up for the loss of the family cat, their Dad Leonard bought Lindsay and Jason new bikes. They really enjoyed them but missed their four legged friend.
A month after that Anna and Carmella were at it again, planning a way to get rid of the new bikes. On a warm summer afternoon, Jason went out to ride his bike and both his bike and Lindsay's bike were gone.
Anna and Carmella did it.
They tricked their youngest siblings and broke their hearts again! Carmella was the oldest and she felt she never got the love she was due so she planned these events to break her two siblings.
So the two stewed in their latest scheme, knowing their secrets would bind them as "Irish Twins" for the rest of their lives.
...Until Anna died one day. Carmella's secrets were suddenly revealed, because Anna kept a diary of what they did to their little sister and brother.
All in County Cork Ireland heard of the misdoings of these mischievous "Irish Twins" and their tale lives on in Irish Infamy.

Late one night, on Fountain Street in Downtown Providence RI, Nora, Nhu and Josie were hard at work in the company's design studio, dreaming up the next big thing in toy design.
But as the hour grew late, something strange began to happen. As they looked around in amazement, they realized they had stumbled upon a strange new world, a world that existed between reality and fantasy, between the waking and the dreaming. They now knew they needed to go on a "TOY DESIGN ROAD TRIP!!"
Of course they worked for that famous toy company in Providence, Rhode Island.
This month they were in charge of coming up with the most creative and innovative designs for the company's toys.
Nora was the creative one, coming up with the most wild and imaginative ideas. Nhu was the engineer, making sure the designs were sturdy and safe. And Josie was the one who kept everything organized, working hard to make sure the toys got to the stores on time.
To celebrate their success, the trio decided to take a cross-country road trip to visit toy stores that stocked their products. Over the course of two weeks, they would visit toy & craft stores in 10 different states.
The first day of the trip took them from their home in Providence RI to Arizona. Along the way, they stopped in small towns to admire the scenery and explore the local stores. They even took a detour to visit the Grand Canyon.
The next few days were filled with visits to stores in Nevada, Utah, Colorado, and Nebraska. The trio stayed in small towns and enjoyed the local cuisine and culture. Everywhere they went, they were amazed by the way the people of all ages welcomed them and the enthusiasm with which they embraced their amazing toys.
In South Dakota, they stopped at a children's hospital to donate some of their toys. The kids loved their creations and the staff was incredibly grateful.
The last few days of the trip were spent in the Midwest. They visited toy stores in Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. Everywhere they went, they encountered friendly faces and happy customers who loved their famous toy company puzzles and games.
By the end of their trip, Nora, Nhu, and Josie were exhausted but delighted with one special toy idea they found in Colorado that will be designed and ready just in time for the Christmas Season!

The three designers, Ashley, Theresa and Jacqueline, were all excited to meet up at the Small Point Cafe on Westminster Street in downtown Providence.
They had heard about The Providence Design District and thought it would be the perfect place to start a new business.
The trio discussed their design skills and brainstormed ideas for their new venture over lattes and cappuccino and a single scone between them.
Ashley was a fashion designer, Theresa an interior designer and Jacqueline a web designer. They talked about the possibility of combining their skills to create a unique and dynamic design business.
Theresa talked about the importance of creating a cohesive design aesthetic. She suggested they focus on a specific type of design that could be used in both fashion and interior design. Ashley and Jacqueline agreed and began to discuss the possibilities.
Jacqueline suggested they create a website to showcase their work and make it easier for potential clients to find them. She also suggested they use social media to promote their business.
The group brainstormed ideas for their business and eventually settled on a name: Small Point Design named after the cafe where they came up with this amazing new triple threat design business.

Once there were Providence Rhode Island designers three,
Who loved to create things that made others' eyes light up and sparkle with glee.
They got up each morning and set coffee to perk,
Creating designs they knew would work.
From their design studio they crafted the best,
From logos and websites to graphics that almost always impressed.
Their ideas were so bold and their colors so bright,
The City of Providence just couldn't help but take notice of their light.
As their business grew, so did their fame,
They knew that Providence was the perfect place for their design to reign.
They inspired others with their ideas and creations,
And soon their work was celebrated all around the nation.
The point of the story is pretty clear,
Providence Designers make dreams come true here.

Missing Jewelry Designer & Spies
Missing Jewelry Designer & Spies
By AB Marcus
It is said that The Providence Design District is home to some of the most talented jewelry designers in the world. From classic styles to modern and unique pieces.
Since the 1880s the Jewelry District is a hub of creativity and artistry along with... spying, espionage and missing designers - last seen on Newport's Cliff Walk with her faithful dog Louie.
It was Monday Morning. The start of a new week.
Bethany arrived at her
jewelry design studio in the Heart of The Providence Design District with her trusty sidekick dog Joey, in tow.
She had heard rumors of a new jewelry designer, Joanne, and was eager to meet her. As Bethany made her way around the district, she noticed an odd tension in the air.
"What's going on here?" Bethany asked one of her fellow designers.
The designer shrugged. "I'm not sure. All I know is that Joanne, the new jewelry designer, went missing after a weekend on the Cliff Walk in Newport. No one's seen her since."
Bethany's curiosity was piqued. She had to find out what happened. She set out to find clues. Everywhere she went, she heard whispers of espionage.
She started asking around and soon discovered that Joanne had made some powerful enemies in the jewelry design industry.
Bethany was determined to find out the truth. She tracked down Joanne's little dog, Louie wandering along the Cliff Walk dragging his leash behind him. Bethany followed the little brown and white terrier to a secluded spot on the Cliff Walk. In the distance she could see Joanne, unharmed, but surrounded by a group of shady characters.
Bethany quickly realized that the group was part of a jewelry design spy ring. Joanne had inadvertently stumbled upon their plans and they were trying to keep her quiet.
Bethany sprang into action and quickly got Joanne out of danger. She took her back to the Design District and the two quickly became friends.
The jewelry design industry was a cutthroat business, but Bethany was determined to make sure that Joanne and her designs were safe. With the help of her new friend, Bethany was able to put an end to the jewelry design espionage ring and protect Joanne and her designs.

Three fresh Providence college graduates stood looking at empty store fronts in downtown Providence RI.
As if frozen in time, it seemed like everything stopped, the three young women stood like statues in awe of the designs, the creativity and innovation they knew they could create here.
Rachel, Sara, and Julie had a passion for store front beauty.

"You know," Julie said, "because of Amazon and online shopping these storefront will be empty for years."
"We definitely have to come up with something that will be Creative & Innovative!" Rachel remarked.
Once they got back to their new design office, the three designers started by researching the latest trends in store front design, visiting other stores in the area, and talking to local business owners.

After gathering all the information they needed, they began to sketch out their ideas and create a plan for their vacant storefront visual designs.
