It is such a wonderful shop, it is always nice to visit here. The shop is always neat and orderly and very nicely decorated. Prices are fair and I always find something to buy. It is a family run shop, they are so nice and friendly. I am so happy to write this review for a shop I really enjoy. I wish it were closer to home. I always stop there if I am out that way or returning from somewhere farther out. Also if you go in the nice weather, they have a pretty garden to admire out back behind the building.

Side note......please ignore the bad review from the person that was asked to leave their backpack by the counter. That is a standard procedure at every store we have been to.

The store is so much larger than it looks from the outside, and every booth has something different to discover. You can truly spend hours browsing all the beautiful home décor, vintage treasures, handmade items, and one-of-a-kind finds. After visiting, I knew this was a place I wanted to be part of. I reached out about becoming a vendor so I could showcase my hand-poured products, and from day one, the Two Sisters team made me feel so welcome. They took the time to sit down with me, explain everything, answer all of my questions, and even walk the store with me. Their kindness, encouragement, and genuine excitement made the entire process so easy. As a small business owner, having a place like Two Sisters Warehouse to display my handmade creations is such an incredible opportunity. Without them, it would be much more difficult to get my products in front of the community. They truly support local makers and small businesses, and it shows in everything they do. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and inspiring. The vendors are wonderful, the staff is incredibly friendly, and you can tell everyone works together to create a fun shopping experience. Whether you're looking for the perfect gift, decorating your home, or simply enjoying a day of browsing, there's always something new to discover. And did I mention the café? It's the perfect gathering spot to meet up with friends or family, catch up over coffee, enjoy a little girl talk, and treat yourself to one of their delicious sweet treats or the soup of the day. It makes the entire experience feel even more special and gives you one more reason to stay a little longer. I'm so grateful I found Two Sisters Warehouse--not only as a customer but now as a proud vendor. It has truly become one of my favorite places in town, and I can't recommend it enough. If you haven't visited yet, you're missing out on one of the area's true hidden gems!

We rolled into Le Claire, IA recently on a cross country road trip. We naturally stopped into the…read moreAmerican Archeology shop and then headed on foot down Cody Rd to visit the other antique shops in town to see what they had to offer. There were several in town on this main drag. Our research had indicated that Big River Antiques was the place to visit if you want to shop for a diverse selection of antiques. The shop is run by some semi-retired hippies that are some great long time pickers. They have a good eye and bring a good mix of antiques into the shop. Word has it that even Mike Wolfe pops in there to buy when he's in town; We found the shop packed to the brim - floor to ceiling with antique treasures of all types packed and stacked everywhere. The shelves in the main room were packed so tight that it made it challenging to pull something out from the back of the shelf without creating a collectible avalanche. The lower shelves are deep and dark and I should have brought my pickin' light so I could see all the way into the back of the dark deep shelves. There are plenty of old metal advertising signs available in the shop. Lots of of old stoneware, some art pottery, salt and pepper shakers, glassware, jewelry, old oil paintings, prints, frames, lamps, tins, primitives and everything in between. It was a fun shop with so much antique eye candy everywhere that it took lots of time and patience to see it all. The smell of fresh baked chocolate chip cookies was refreshing as we shopped and they were indeed delicious. We enjoyed our visit to this shop and Le Claire, IA and will explore it again if we make it back into town. Definitely stop into the Buffalo Bill Cody museum while you are in town which is nearby. it was an interesting museum filled with much history and antiques.

I've been here once before and it is a pretty large building with two levels. There is a wide variety of items to choose from. I didn't buy anything this last time but I think the time before I bought a necklace. I usually look for small items because I'm flying back to Austin and can't lug that china set I'd really love to have. In the winter the 2nd level can get pretty chilly so bring a jacket. There is something for everyone here, so you should definitely check it out!

If you are into glassware, dinnerware, glass & ceramic dinner bells and crystal, this is the place to be. If you are trying to find that old dinnerware set your mom had, there is a good chance they have it. If not, you will definitely find something close. A true haven for the glass collector. Audrey works hard at keeping the store very, very well organized and very, very clean and very competitive pricing. This is a "must take a detour and stop in" to visit Audrey! She is a very friendly owner.

However, I do like that it's really reasonably priced - I just bought a large globe of the Earth (fairly recent too) for just 12 dollars. The staff also has a great knowledge of the contents of the store, and if you ask them a vague-ish question (i.e. Chinese objects/clothing for a cultural lesson on the Chinese New Year), they're able to point you in a very specific direction. Also, this is the location of the annual Galesburg Chocolate Festival. For less than the price of a movie ticket you can go in and sample basically chocolate anythings to your heart's content.

On a recent trip heading back from Chicago you to my ranch just south of Kansas City I took a road less traveled and noticed the old mower shop in my home town or Monmouth had closed but something caught me eye. Actually, a lot of things caught my eyes. What's this? An antique shop? We've all seen plenty of those but this appeared to be more. Unfortunately, the place was closed so I looked them up on Facebook as I saw they didn't open the next day until 10 and I had many miles to go so I didn't want to delay my departure so imagine my surprise when the owner emailed me back and offered to open early so I could check this place out. I've always been a guy who likes crusty industrial pieces but also appreciate many antique pieces and boy did this place deliver. They had it all and the owner is a kindred spirit as we both appreciated many of the same things. In no time my pile of "can't live without that" grew. This place was a goldmine but not just for folks looking for the things I was, their architectural salvage selection was incredible and I only wished I had my list of door and window sizes as this place is full of beautiful and functional pieces unlike the cheapo crap you can buy at the big box stores that cost you many times more. I ended up filling up my truck with items that not only were beautiful but also extremely affordable. Much better pricing than I've seen elsewhere to the point I didn't even try to negotiate but I suspect I could have but with a selection like that combined with their prices I damn near had to pinch myself for my good luck and having such a wonderful owner who herself is a true artist that has a passion to rescue and give a second life to pieces worth preserving. As Arnold says.... "I'll be back". The shop, selection, prices and most definitely the owner were kick ass in my book. Thank you CherIt Forward
