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 9 years old and she is the reason I am
here!!!
