Flemington may be small, but it’s home to a large variety of shops and malls where you can buy anything from homemade pottery to furniture to antiques. Here are three places that are well worth a visit.

The Shoppes At Flemington

The Shoppes At Flemington is a new retail shopping center in town that houses upscale apparel stores, cosmetic and body-care shops, home decor and furniture stores, children’s clothing shops, and restaurants. One of the latest additions to this open-air lifestyle center is a Club Pilates studio, so you can now conveniently do your shopping and attend a Pilates class all in one spot.

Popular shops that you’ll find at this center include the 22,000-square-foot Homegoods store, where you can find anything from furniture to cooking utensils to home accessories; the European Wax Center, which specializes in hair removal; Lenox, which sells gifts and dinnerware; Massage Envy, where you can go for a relaxing massage or buy skin care products; and Talbots, a popular shoes and clothing store. If you get peckish from all the shopping, you can pop in at Al Fresco’s, Freshii, or Pancheros for a bite.

Kissimmee River Pottery

If you’re looking for a unique gift, or want to buy something special for your home, pop around at Kissimmee River Pottery. Owner, John, has been behind the pottery wheel for more than 50 years and is passionate about his craft. At this pottery studio and shop, you can buy unique, hand-crafted pottery ware, including plates, jugs, flower pots, decorative pieces, Kombucha jars, fermenting jars, and much more.

You can also order a memento to remember a beloved animal by. John uses the hair of pets supplied to him by clients and then creates an animal spirit pot with it. The hair creates dark lines on the surface of the pot and also creates smoke which causes gray shadows to settle in-between the lines. Every animal spirit pot is thus different and unique, just like the personality of the animal it represents.

John also offers pottery classes at his studio. Lessons take place once a week for three hours, over a period of eight weeks. He will teach you all the basics, such as throwing the wheel, finishing and glazing techniques, and how to attach handles.

Ye Old Antique & Curiosity Shop

The owners of Ye Old Antique & Curiosity Shop have been passionate collectors of high-quality and valuable antiques for over 30 years. At this shop, you can find a large range of antique goods that include artwork, clothing, books, toys, tools, and much more. They stock antiques that date back to the Victorian, Early American, Art Deco, Depression, and Pre- and Post-War periods. If you are in possession of antiques that need some love and care, they also offer restoration services at this shop.

Whether you’re looking for fashionable clothing, skin care products, home accessories, antiques, or a special, handmade gift, you’ll find the shop that’s just right for you in Flemington.
