Antiques in Ponchatoula, LA

“So I grew up a sharecropper's son. We lived in an extremely old house. As a kid, visiting my older family members was an adventure in time. Every cabinet, box, shed, book, and record would take me back to when my grand parents were kids and life was simple.Walking through CJ's was a trip back to that time. Each booth is full of little piece of growing up here in Louisiana. If I had the money Id buy it all. A few minutes turned into 2 hours as I got lost in time with my daughter. I even scored a great Philco Standard Broadcast floor radio. After a little tinkering, its playing Zydeco and Blues like it should!The coffee shop and soda station add a really great touch....especially the old fridge and antique working coke machine.I highly recommend a trip! Even if you dont buy anything, the smell, atmosphere, and memories from each item you touch will steal you away.”

“I love this store, there's something for everyone! I stopped in today to buy some items for my office and I knew if anyone had it Roussel's would! I found exactly what I was looking for to go with the theme...an antique gum ball machine, a beautiful cow hide rug, and something I've been looking for forever....a wooden cigar Indian statue for my cigar room!! I would be lucky to find one of these items somewhere and they had all three!! Rene the owner helped me and he eared a repeat customer! Super nice guy that I really enjoyed talking to and he made the price right on everything I purchased!”

“I was nearby visiting other places in the area and happened to notice the front yard of this place and decided to stop in. The lady working was very friendly. I just loved looking at all of the knickknacks. Well organized, very reasonable prices. I will be back!”
