Liz gave us a talk on the history of the home and purchasing it, which was such a fun addition to the visit. Made it extremely special and memorable, and we both love history.

Highly recommend if looking for a tea room in NJ, you get a very special and intimate experience that cannot compare to any place else!

Great little boutique!…read more It was taken over by a new owner a couple weeks ago, and the Fox part is a reference to her name. She (I wish I actually got her name!) was super personable and the type of store owner who you can spend more time chatting with than actually buying items. Alas, I didn't walk out empty-handed. I found a super cute stuffed turkey for $6, and my mom left with a peppermint Christmas tree (which she nabbed before I could!). Definitely stop in here if you're shopping around Mill Race Village. It may be tiny-tiny, but it's so worth browsing if you like cutesy things.

I opted for the Queen's tea which came with a choice of soup or salad. I got the salad and it was quite tasty. Our server was very nice and accommodating. We were very relaxed as we drunk tea and chatted. The place is adorable the only tricky part is the parking. There is a little lot behind the building and street parking if you can find it.

Neighborhood Potters really is the best! This studio first off is a great local gift store, where…read moreyou can purchase incredible pieces of pottery that make thoughtful and beautiful gifts for any occasion (including jewelry!), but on top of that, the studio also offers adult and children pottery courses. The spring adult courses are running right now for 6 weeks (for $255) or 10 weeks (for $415). We went for the winter session this past season and it was the most incredible experience. We took our lessons with Adam, and he is an absolute gem; incredibly funny, extremely personable, and just an all around all-star instructor. He was very clear in his instruction, very to the point and supportive of whatever work or piece you were doing. He was great at helping you achieve what you envisioned and was able to give great instruction and suggestions without limiting your creativity. The course fee covers the instruction of course, but also they provide all for you: tools, clay, glazes, whatever you'll need to make your pieces. You have the option to do hand-building, which we did and what the studio recommends for beginners, or you can also learn to throw on their wheels. Next time we may try our hand at throwing, but the hand-building was also an incredible experience. We've been using our pieces and keep marveling that we were able to make them! We looked so forward to classes every week, they were just so much fun and very relaxing - a really amazing hobby to get into, and something we for sure will be back to do in the future. The photo attached are some of the pieces we made - the glazes the studio has are really gorgeous, and we're amazed they came out this nice for us first-timers! If you're not able to commit to a full class, they also offer one-off "meet and make" sessions at the studio for $55. We'd highly recommend you stop by the studio to purchase pieces, browse, or take a class. Or even just chat up the owners if they're there, they are incredible; so friendly and helpful and really living up to the idea of your local friendly neighborhood potters :)

I love this place! And you will too!…read more Sandi and Neil are great at what they do. They have encouraged me through two 6-week courses to put my own twist on an ancient art form. I have learned that from beginner to novice everyone is treated with respect and it's a creative therapy many people could benefit from. Course fees include all required materials, firing and glazing your very own creations. They have kilns on site, and several wheels if you're looking to try your hand at them. Check out their website for upcoming classes. I know I plan on taking more.

In this store you will find, jewelry, knitted items, incense, essential oils, candles, trinkets, decor, wood carvings, dream catchers, etc. The owner has been traveling the world for over 20 plus years and brings back many of these items to sell. She has established many coops in these countries and donates part of the profits. I was told this by the kind gentleman volunteer who was manning the store for her. There are many interesting items you can buy for yourself or give as inexpensive gifts. The prices here aren't too bad. There is a minimum of $10 for c.c. purchase. This store is hard to find as is tucked away in an alley on spring street. Even if not purchasing anything it's also a cool store to just to poke around.

Very small shop, but packed with all kinds of amazing handcrafted jewelry, hippie-esque clothing and handbags, incense and spiritual items (i don't know how else to describe it!). In school, we were always annoyed at there "only 2 people under 18 allowed in at once" rule, but now as an adult, I see why. i honestly think this place helped me shape my whole "look" (if you can call it that) -- after buying numerous poison rings, boxes of Nag Champa, and hand woven purses there, i credit them for making me the pseudo-hippie i am today :) and while you're there, go 2 doors down to Chucks for some killer wings :) can't miss!

Rebecca will tell you she does a 60% / 40% split on the telephone, but after you…read moredrop your items off she'll send you a contract (photos of 4 separate pieces of paper) listing terms and fees that weren't discussed. One of these pieces of paper states that both Rebecca and the consignor are in agreement to these terms. I ultimately picked my dresses up and brought everything back home. Rebecca had put tags on some of my dresses and damaged them in the process. She didn't place the tag on a seam or some other inconspicuous place. Instead she punched holes directly through the fabric. My dresses are now unsellable! The damages total over $200 (according to Rebecca's tags) and Rebecca isn't returning my emails.
