Places like this make me so happy. I could easily spend an entire day here searching for treasures. They have over 15,000 square feet of antiques and collectibles. It’s a HUGE space of multiple connected buildings full of consignment stalls! I’ve never walked away empty-handed. Room after room there are weird/pretty/interesting/vintage things stacked to the ceiling. I can get my mid-century dishware fix here and enjoy examining everything else. The inventory is constantly changing. Every time I visit CJ’s, it feels like a different store with new things to discover. And every time I leave, I feel a ping of sadness because I know there is some wonderful thing in some corner of some room in this massive place that I missed. But that’s just another reason for me to come back.

CJ’s Antiques and Collectibles is located at 160 SE Railroad Ave. Ponchatoula, LA 70454. Visit their website at cjsantiques.com for more information.
