Mini-me's

Here at Foursided Andersonville we've started an adorable collection of miniatures... we've got mini celebs (Beatles & Captain Kirk) as well as some bowlers and rugby players. Can you stand it? They're so awesomely cute that you'll probably want to start a collection of your own... good news, we're willing to share.

Stache-tastic

We all know M is for mustache but do you know what stache you're sportin'? Well, we've got the Field Guide Poster ($30) with all the answers. Are you a Mr. Instate (our personal favorite) or a Mr. Federal? Stop by and find out...and while you're here check out our marquee letters (they're great for decorating!)

CUSTOMER MAKES ART! MAYHEM ENSUES!

Check out this awesome assemblage from customer John!
Excellent use of a variety of Foursided goodies; we do love our magic lantern slides ($8-15), assorted watch parts ($5), mini scrabble letters ($1.10) those awesome Hammerpress silhouettes ($14).
All wrapped up nice and pretty in an 8x10 treasure box from Dennis Daniels ($22)!

Voila! Great art for under $100!
Great job, John! Thanks for sharing!

And if anyone else creates something lovely with our goodies, tell us!

Welcome to our three stores.

Our goal is to bring imagination to life with art, ephemera, and antiques.

Foursided Custom Framing Galleries
Twosided Cards* Gifts* Antiques*







Our original store started in 2002.

The goal was to sell picture framing services and throw in a little extra just for fun.







We have a rainbow of frames for every flavor in your fruitbowl.

Common things we hear at all of our stores:

1-"How come I've never been here before?"
Our Answer: We have no idea.
2-"OMG! I'm overwhelmed by the large selection."
Our Answer: Don't be scared little lamb, we'll walk you through it.

Unusual curiosities will keep you occupied.




Cards, cards, and more cards at Twosided and Foursided Andersonville.







































Our frame selections are arranged by color to help us work with you to make the best choice for your artwork.














We look forward to meeting you.
