We can't resist a gracefully and uniquely worn statue...they've stood the test of time in gardens and yards, braving the elements - only to become more lovely. And as they come to the shops, they may be broken, but they are now undeniably beautiful just as they are... The strength and life that can speak through a statue like this one, expresses a story of their past journey to us, inviting us to seek a little happiness,being thankful for what we have, knowing our nicks and broken pieces have made us who we are now, so we can use that beauty to spread a little joy every day!
Especially at this time of year, the sparkle and twinkle of beautiful lights is such a treat - inviting us to share in the magic of spreading light in the darkness...And there is something special in a piece from the past that is cherished by a new age of believers of true beauty
Like this gorgeous petite iron lamp with a shade made from delicate peacock feathers - and as the light changes, the feathers pick up different colorings that make this one all the more glorious.
From table and floor lamps to wall sconces to chandeliers - we're always on the look out for an unusual or eye-catching piecethat may or may not need a little TLC...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.We love these decorative battery operated candlesto taking already amazing lights, like this chandelier, and dressing them up like this one placed in a metal farm piece. to these jute wrapped chandeliers, to these great round globe shades - we placed one on a bucket with a light inside - wouldn't it be neat to have both setting on buckets, barrels or urns? Yes, please! You see, we get so excited by a simple, romantic glow...We'll keep searching for the one of a kind pieces that bring excitement and joy...to transform a space with a little more sparkle...let there be LIGHT!

Sisters garden offers 2 stores at one location. Each are housed in old houses which in itself makes this a unique and inspirational shopping experience.
Our doors opened in 1994.
We are located in rural Iowa, near Iowa City, Ia. We have a country feel....but "SISTERS" (as we've become known) has an urban style that marks us as upscale, retro, quirky, and all things mixed together room-by-room with vintage and new. An ever-changing inventory with the latest trends, but at the same time filled with antique farm furnitures, (mostly Iowa finds) vintage architectural, doors, trims, garden, and apothecary goods.
Customers have found us as tried and true---------always offering honesty in our business, and a sincere rapport with our customer friends.
This blog is about our shops, the merchandise we have for sale, and our seasonal events. Come be inspired both in store and on-line!!!
We've been given Junk Revolution's "Good Junk" Award! Click on the seal to visit their site.
Our hope is that all who come through our doors will be inspired, find beauty in the cast off, used, and otherwise random goods that we offer for sale. We hope you are so inspired to seek and to find the dreams that God has put into all of us.
