“I've recently discovered this shop. It is fantastic. The shop owner greeted me at the door and offered water and refreshment. They are also dog friendly and my Ralphie got a treat which he ate on the way home. This shop is much larger than it looks and there is a barn out back filled with items. The whole shop is clean and well lit and each booth is very well displayed. When I told friends about it they said they've been shopping there for years. I'm glad I found it.”
“It's like an amusement park! There's fun stuff at every turn (because it's set up like a maze) and it is huge. Time passed so quickly, the place is truly fascinating.”
“R&S repaired an expensive leather chair for me about a year ago. They did a great job at a reasonable price. I don't remember the exact cost but it was much cheaper than buying the cheapest replacement chair. I highly recommend this family owned business.”
“Wow!! Found this place by accident and its really great. There are a lot of lovely booths and I was able to pick up various items I have been on the lookout for. There was even a booth with a bunch of fairy lamps which I know many thrifters search for. The people were very friendly and wrapped up the items i purchased very carefully. They said they are expanding, so I will definitely be back!”
“Beautiful store! Walking inside it’s beautifully displayed everything is pretty easy to reach and look at, prices are great very affordable and reasonable. There’s a great collection of kitchenware especially tea sets!! If you love antiques definitely stop here!”
“I love to visit antique stores and I have to tell this place it’s adorable, but what make it better it’s to know the history behind … we met Mrs Betty the owner who has been collecting all kind of treasures for so many years and now here available for sell… she is 89 years old, can you imagine?… She is adorable, and after her husband passed away recently she decided to keep working in what both of them were doing together…
So, come and visit her and collect some of her items, I bough here a wood sculpture and my husband got a Dutch beer glass … we live far but we hope to see Mrs Betty and her Antique store again…”
“This is quite the antique shop! They have everything you could think of antique. I also appreciated them letting me advertise for my vocal studio there. My kids love the marbles we bought and are so excited to play with them! We'll be back to visit soon!”
“Love the store and the people who own and run the store. They are always willing to help you find anything that you're looking for and if they don't have it they'll let you know if they may get it in or not.”
“The store it self has a lot of charm, and a few true antique booths. There are a lot more “vintage” items.
I will say though, the true antiques are well curated and in better than decent conditions!
Pricing was fair and NOT full retail plus exaggerated mark ups.
I love to visit at least once every 2 months or so as they do have antique vendors that bring in something cool from time to time.”
“One of my favorite things to do in Central Florida is to go to thrift and antique stores. I stopped in at Sherman's on a whim on a recent trip through Winter Haven and I was wowed. Across two floors and over 1,000 square feet of space they have the most amazing antiques and treasures. Sherman's Antiques has been in business for over 25 years selling their own items and leasing space to other vendors. They also do estate sales and offer a doll hospital, restoring treasured dolls from the past.
I couldn't believe they actually have a basement which is something you hardly ever see in Florida where the water table is so close to the surface. I had so much fun exploring their furniture, housewares, glassware, clothes, art, jewelry, holiday decorations, collectibles, and so much more. I especially loved the vintage casserole dishes. Prices ranged from a few dollars to the many thousands. How negotiable they are depends on it it belongs to them or a vendor.
On the way out I spoke to the friendly owners about their marvelous collection. It is a curated history of the 20th century. If you love antiques the way I do, add this to your Winter Haven shopping list.”
“So many great things in this shop! The staff are so helpful and friendly and it’s a treasure trove of wonderful items: ranging from antique to vintage . I believe there’s something here for everyone. Plus it’s just fun, the layout of the shop is a true treasure hunt ! I will visit again: I come from Zephyrhills and don’t mind the drive to visit these gals!”
