My Sisters Antiques - photos galore

I am fortunate to live in an area where some marvelous antique shops are located. Vintage Village, Queen of Hearts (where I have a booth and a case), Factory Antiques and Cotton Depot to name a few. One of my favorite dealers, My Vintage Heart - who has a booth in Vintage Village, has now expanded to an additional shop called “My Sisters Antiques.” Just a short drive from my house, I made a visit last Saturday. OMG, and I do not state that lightly, OMG…this is an antiques shop in the truest sense of the word. Nestled in the “old business district” of Loganville, Georgia and directly across from the town’s water tower, is where you will find “My Sisters Antiques”.   Located at 285 Main Street, Loganville, GA - 770-554-4900, sisters Christy and Angie are the shop owners.   (all photos enlarge when you click on them)

The big double doors and large picture windows are architecturally indicative of “old school” commercial design and these delightful sisters retained much of the historical integrity of the building.

The extremely high ceilings, open brick walls and the sound of my shoes on old flooring brought an immediate smile to my face. Yes, I admit it, I shamelessly romanticize old buildings. I love the look, the sound and the smells of these old boys as I can feel so much of the spirits that reside within.

Looking down the center aisle as you enter from the front entrance of My Sisters Antiques. 

Exposed brick walls make a wonderful backdrop for furniture pieces and a fireplace front.

Love the red tea cart with its kicky shape.  Wouldn't it be fun to have this in a guest bathroom filled with thirsty towels and pretty lotions, powders and potions?

So much to see, so much to buy...my wallet was retreating deep into my purse.

This adorable retro kitty clock is looking for a new home and the price is right.

Magnificent buffets or sideboards.  Heavy Oak with waterfall drawers and I am crazy about this Victorian piece.  Dark and gothic in its design.  Original mirrors.

My Sisters Antiques utilizes all space available so you will find many treasures hanging from the ceiling.  They have lovely architectural glass windows at great prices.  And THEY SHIP ANYWHERE.

My friends booth - My Vintage Heart.  I rarely walk away from her space without finding a treasure or two.  Susan always has the prettiest things and at fantastic prices.

Lovely vintage curved china cabinet in a soft golden color.

I adore vintage pottery, especially the matt finishes of the 1930s. 

Among the many antiques and vintage pieces you will find at My Sisters Antiques is artwork.  You may select from a series of cast pieces including this magnificent moose.

A great vintage print in a vintage frame.

I am crazy about Sandy and if I had room in my home, this would be there.  I can see all of the raviolis wanting to drop a dime in the box and going for a ride.

Another lovely architectural piece. So many to select from.

Even a Sea Witch can appreciate a fine cauldron like this one.

Wonderful pair of Staffordshire dogs.  Great color.

Lovely Nippon vase.

My Sisters Antiques also boasts a huge selection of "man antiques."  You know the dusty, garage looking, boy toys, old signs kind of stuff that men always gravitate too. Fell in love with this turn of the century boys tool chest with all of the tools and geegaws inside.

How glorious is this feed or grain box in original blue paint?

Old Coca Cola serving tray and the advertising tire ashtrays found in every garage since the 1920s. 

I love this print of the partying ladies.  Could these be the Antique Sisters...they are certainly pretty enough to be? 

Wonderful kitchen table and matching chairs in soft butternut.  Great set from the 1940s.

How clever to repurpose a vintage victrola cabinet into pretty storage space.

A vintage pedal tractor in red is hung from the ceiling.  Probably a good idea, because I would have loved to have taken it for a spin around the store.

Lovely selection of vintage Hummels.

Fun girly-girl watches and bracelets.  If you must keep time, why not in a whimsical and funky manner.

My Sisters Antiques is a shop that is worth the trip.  So much to see and the sisters encourage families stopping in.  I noticed many parents with children throughout the store and the kids were delighted as mom or dad explained just what many of the objects were (i.e. old remington typewriter was referred to as an "early word processor" by a dad to his son)  The kids giggled at first, but were then interested in how it worked.  This type of dialogue and introduction of antiques and vintage pieces to children is priceless because we are educating our youngest generation to "our" histories. 

I, of course, left with a sterling plated Victorian hand mirror, a pair of Weller matt seafoam green double vases form the 1930s and two Victorian mismatched crystal salt and pepper shakers.  My Sisters Antiques is open Monday thru Wednesday and Friday until 6:30 and on Saturday until 5:30.  They are closed on Sunday and Wednesday.  They also buy and sell as well as ship anywhere.  Sea Witch
