ABOUT MY TREASURES

Most of my treasures are vintage or have led a past life (unless otherwise noted) . Therefore, a few minor imperfections are to be expected, only adding to the historical character, charm and beauty of each piece. If you are like me, I love this type of decor, tend to favor it and become quite fond of it. I try my best to describe and photograph items as accurately as I can and will bring to your attention any major flaws. You may feel confident in knowing I will not offer you anything that I would not feel proud to display in my own home. I will gladly provide you with customers that have enjoyed buying from me and are completely satisfied. You will also notice that my eBay feedback speaks for itself. I have more transactions than customers which indicated many HAPPY RETURNING buyers!!!
I am always happy to help you "find" that treasure you are looking for as I probably already have it or will find it for you. Don't hesitate to email me and ask.

GETTING TO KNOW ME

Hello, My name is Amy and I am the Mom of the Four Sisters. I have been collecting since the age of 17 with buying my first 2 treasures being a 1930's composition baby doll and a 1920's black and white girl on a horse photograph. I have been hooked ever since and of course it helped that my Mom has collected antiques and vintage items since I was born. The name "FourSistersInACottage" came from the day my girls and I were sitting around trying to think of a new name for Amy's Antiques and Collectibles. I was tired of that old name (I have been selling in antique shops and even owned my own for awhile, since 1991) and I wanted something sweet to reflect more of who I was. My oldest daughter suggested we call it Four Sisters In A Cottage because I have 4 girls and we lived in an 1870's Cottage Home. HOW PERFECT was that? SO THAT is how the name was born!!! I have been having so much fun and have been BLESSED with so many WONDERFUL PEOPLE in cyberspace.  At first, I had lots of help from the girls but as they have grown with school, friends, sports, jobs and volunteering, FourSistersInACottage has taken an understandable back seat for them. It has forced me to go it alone and so I try to list when I have time and try really hard to answer all of your emails. Please bear with me as I go through this transition, sometimes I list like crazy, other times it takes days to get myself going again. And I have My Sweet Baby Maddi who is ALREADY 8 years old and she is the reason I am here!!!

We have recently moved to the "Country" and I am adjusting very nicely as a "City Girl". I met and married the love and solid rock of a man, my husband Bob and he has helped me so much with loving and living life to the fullest. I am proud to call him my husband!!! We are having so much fun remodeling this old 1955 ranch home on Old Lincoln Highway. I was blessed to get "TWO BONUS KIDS" when I married him. Nick and Alex are so fun to have around and have been a blessing to our blended families. We are a very athletic family and enjoy fishing, hunting, and anything outdoors.

Below are some family pictures for you to enjoy and to get a glimps of whom you are buying from, enjoy!!!!
