Contrasting styles. . .

Mid Century Modern, re-purposed Art Deco, and school house Primitives!

This wonderful Mid Century Modern sectional sofa is in mint condition! And a bargain at $250! It would be perfect in an apartment, loft, or retreat!

The re-purposed Art Deco dresser/dressing table has been painted a classic black and distressed--a great urban apartment or Paris style! Again a bargain--$135. Visit Miss Hettie's for other special finds!
And to spike your curiosity--we had the most wonderful old chalkboard! It didn't stay in the shop but two days before it was on its way home with a nice gentleman! Keep checking back--more chalkboards and other goodies are promised soon!

Promises. . .

of things to come.

New "dealers" are moving into On The Square Antiques! We're in a bit of a mess, but everyone is working exceptionally hard to help them move in!
Bert & Ginger are moving into one side of the mezzanine. They have tons of goodies--furniture, glassware, dolls, primitives, books, and even vintage hats. Jacquelyn Floyd is adding her special touch to the downstairs hallway!The artwork has brightened the space and her 1950's tables lend a retro feel to the area.
Later this month, more dealers will be moving in so check back often!

Extraordinary Needlework. . .

and more!


Kathy hand stitches wonderful sayings--perfect for many occasions. Many are available framed and ready for hanging.
Kathy also offers one-of-a kind pincushions constructed from vintage baby shoes! These are precious and make a great gift for the seamstress, new grandmother, or collector.

Stop by "the Nook" and see all of Kathy's work intermingled with Cottage and Cabin Interiors!

and then there was. . .

Miss Hettie--me actually (the writer of the blog/office manager/problem solver/you name it).

I began my blog last year--naturally I volunteered to write the one for the shop. Most people know me as Gail--the Miss Hettie (my mom's) name was a suggestion from a dear friend. My real desire is to have a "Venue House" named Miss Hettie's, but it's just not in the cards at the moment for this "dealer".

At the antique shop, I occupy the front window and the mezzanine. My real love is re purposing old furniture, but it's becoming difficult to find the old things.

Along with my reclaimed furniture, I sell a variety of items--beautiful vintage cake plates, retro kitchen items, tea cups, punch bowls, figurines, samplers and many other items.
I also collaborate on different projects--hand-crafted benches, painted furniture, and the Sweet Peas line of infant and toddler dresses.














Cottage & Cabin Interiors

aka Debbie & Bobby

A husband & wife team that builds, paints, sews, finds exceptional objects--does just about everything!
Cottage and Cabin Interiors is actually a collection of fabric furnishings and furniture pieces redesigned from salvaged finds. Custom window treatments, slipcovers, and nursery bedding available by special order. Samples and unique pieces available at the antique shop.

Located in "the Nook" (under the staircase), they have the merchandise packed in. Stop by and see the new look they bring to our shop.

Horsing around. . .

horses, horses, and more horses (and more animals)!

Linda has been an avid collector of Breyer model horses all of her life--now she is sharing her knowledge and expertise with our customers.


Linda specializes in Bryer model horses (of course), Hagen-Renaker figurines, and other collectibles.

She recently added glassware to her inventory, such as the green Soreno pictured below.

Anne & Ann

or as we call them, "the two Anns"

Village Antiques (Ann) and Treasured Stuff Antiques (Anne) share the front downstairs room. I suppose you could say their speciality is china, crystal and beautiful vintage linens. But they also sell primitives--tin cans, wooden boxes, and even a wood stove.
They have beautiful depression glass--all colors
and Fostoria American and Colony along with many other items.Shopping in Pennsylvania, they bring true antiques to the shop.

the Gang. . .

Currently we have 12 people selling in our shop. I hesitate to call us "dealers" because, as someone once pointed out, we don't "deal cards"--we just sell merchandise.
We are as diverse as summer and winter, with merchandise ranging from Victorian antiques to mid century modern to 21st century. We offer re-upholstered furniture, hand-stitch samplers and sayings and re-purposed/redesigned furniture. We have china, crystal, some sterling flatware, and vintage semi-precious jewelry.
The upcoming posts will introduce our gang individually, or as the group we identify them with.

Please stop by in Troy and get to know us--we always have fun at the shop!

Welcome. . .

to "the antique shop", as we affectionately call our store. The shop actually opened five years ago and was designated "On The Square Antiques" because we are, literally, located on the town square in Troy, Alabama, home of Troy University. Housed originally in the "Gellerstedt" building, a wonderful 3 story building that had the steepest stairs imaginable, we operated there for 3 years.
Moving in January 2007 to the "Brantley Brothers building", we found a permanent home. Our current building was constructed around the turn of the century (yes, 1900) and today has the original stain glass panel in the building front facade that proclaims, "Brantley Bros Mercantile Co.".



The interior of our shop has wonderful character--a steel reinforced walk-in vault (possibly used to store firearms and ammunition), 2 floors, the original mahogany panels in the ceiling, and a wonderful mezzanine! And for those of you who aren't familiar with a mezzanine, it is considered a "half-floor" or balcony above the first floor.


The shop features almost everything imaginable--fine glassware, pottery, Victorian furniture, primitives, re-designed/re purposed furniture, hand-made farm house tables, Bryer model horses,vintage books, retro and mid century modern collectibles, and many other items.
Please visit us soon. We are located an hour south of Montgomery, AL and an hour north of Dothan, AL and only 3 hours from Atlanta, GA.

If you are searching for something special, please call us at 334-566-2601.
