Our family used to love Old Time Pottery. I believe they once had a loc in Rockford. I remember…read morethe sea of unique kitchen items. Not one, but piles of lazy susans, punch bowls, and serving platters that make us dinners and church fellowship hour hosting champs. None of the items were cookie cutter items that are found in chain stores, and great prices. We waltzed in recently, looking for kitchenware, to find a few isles of very limited stuff. What happened? We're also suckers for seasonal deco, and they usually are stacked to the neck with unique pieces. I have noticed that the stock is lower and the prices are higher. That is kind of a bummer. I still didn't leave empty handed but I didn't bring home a cart full like I used to. Hope Old Time Pottery is going through a phase and will bounce back.

Buyers Beware of their RETURN POLICY!!…read more My bad, I saw their Return Policy Sign which is right there by the front entrance (probably because they reject returns all the time and they can point to the sign), but just assumed it would be similar to the other great stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels and the At Home store. I WAS WRONG. I purchased over $300 worth patio cushions and pillows and decided the colors just wouldn't work with my existing patio furniture cushion colors, so went to return the items. I had lost the receipt, and would be fine with just a store credit since I shop there all the time they are located less than a mile from my house). They wouldn't accept my return and give me store credit or gift card, pointing to their stupid sign by the door. I am soured and don't respect a store with their lousy Return Policy. Honestly, Hobby Lobby, Michaels, the At Home Store, etc. with similar merchandise have way better quality any way. I won't shop at Old Time Pottery any longer and won't bring any of my visiting relatives to the store, my mother-in-law who loves to buy seasonal stuff, etc. I'm also going to share my experience with my neighbors because I know they shop up there also because it is so close to home for us.

This store is a little bit hidden in the corner of the plaza right by the korean bbq place. By the way, this place is huge! What do you need? Probably, this store has it. Nightlights, blankets (those super soft ones that feel amazing), bow ties for your little girls, costume jewelry, hair accessories, home decorations, EVERYTHING. Lots of great quality things at bargain prices. I suggest you come here before you go to the big box stores to save you tons of money. I also recommend coming here if you are and avid crafter, making a costume, setting up a party, getting a bulk amount of hair accessories, and quince supplies. This is a very well organized store, I love when stores esp with many items keep orderly, plays into my OCD lol. This store is almost never ending. Got to meet this really nice guy, Alex, the owner.

Since the surrounding area is filled with a mixture of apartment buildings and homes, many of their items fall into the realm of home goods. Anything from curtains to tea sets, rugs, some throws, kitchen utensils, costume jewelry, Lottery and more. Especially useful for those that lack transportation to "big box" stores, there are some (decent) home goods that could meet your mark. My intention was to find dollar quality cabinet liners and or a cheap but useful stapler. Both were over my spend amount, so I opted for purchasing from the hardware store.

The layout makes it easy to browse without feeling chaotic, and the inventory turns over enough that every visit brings something new to discover. I've found some genuinely special pieces here, including a vintage Florentine tray and a Matson ormolu perfume bottle that basically begged me to take it home. They have a warehouse sale on the first Sunday of each month, and it's a great chance to spot some extra gems at amazing prices. I didn't need any furniture, but I still managed to leave with a piece of crewel embroidered artwork for an absolute steal. Jane is kind and fun to chat with, and the entire team at Remix has been just as warm. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and unpretentious, which makes the whole experience even more enjoyable. I love the traysures I've found at Remix Market and know I'll be back for more!

Most items come from local artists which, I love. They also have many things from all around the world. Which, makes for a unique one of a kind experience. There's also a little cafe that makes tasty treats for all to enjoy. Everyone was super sweet and very helpful! They have a huge selection of candies from all over the world and local specialties. They also have different bread mixes, cake mixes, dips, jams, jellies, pastas, sauces, and lots of other treats! Their prices are also very fair for the quality of what you get. Which, makes the price worth it. So, if you're looking for a fun festive experience then, go here! You won't regret it.

You'll find some cards (there were some pretty funny ones here), notepads and paper, pens, and so on. They had a cool watercolor book by a creator who has a QR code for a free art class on the back, which I almost bought but taking up a painting hobby is just not something I have time to pursue right now. In addition to the paper goods, they have some textile stuff too. Wallets, sunglasses sleeves, tablet holders, cord keepers; you'll find that and more here. In addition to a few there things I bought a few of the cord keepers because finding loose cords around like snakes laying everywhere is annoying. The employee (proprietor?) was friendly. She was sitting at the front of the store at a typewriter when we came in, maybe composing her novel? A blast from the past for sure but old typewriters are works of art.
