Just Returned From An Excellent Buying Adventure!

Chuck and I are exhausted but giddy, we found quite a few treasures and will be listing them on ebay, etsy and of course, our website. Here is an 1880's turkey calico red schoolhouse quilt, crib or wall size, perfect for decorating. It is on the website, so check it out!

As well as antique quilts, quilt tops and quilt blocks, we found needlepoint, victorian and edwardian dresses, samplers, early fabrics, feedsacks, and extraordinary french laces.

We hope you will check us often!

Buying Trip Coming Soon!

Getting ready to go on a major buying trip -- this time I am meeting with an antique fabric collector who is ready to part with their collection. We look forward to bringing you some great 1800's fabrics. We will also be buying quilts and fine linens from an estate that we have been invited to--so stay tuned! Christmas is around the corner, and fall is in the air!

Autumn days

Cozy up with a book and an antique quilt. Summer is almost over, and the relaxing days of fall are upon us!

Getting Grandma

Just returned home from a six day trip to Missouri to bring my beloved Grandma Hartley home to Idaho. She will be living with my Mom and Dad, just 40 minutes from me. It was a hard, but fun trip, and I am so excited to report that Grandma is doing great. She will be turning 96 in November and I never thought I would have the chance to really have her live near us again! Christmas this year will be the best ever! Grandma taught me so much about antique quilts, she is my number one source for information. My family is so blessed to have her with us. I will be posting photos soon.

Our Team

We had a ball today, taking photos for our website. We have a great team, Taylor (my daughter) with her daughter AveryLayne, Nora, Cori and myself.

I couldn't ask for a nicer group of young, hardworking women!



We are always searching for, and finding the best antique quilts, fine laces and linens, as well as vintage cottage decor.

Come and visit often, you never know what you will find!

Antique Quilts

What a passion I have --antique quilts! I think I need an intervention, as I cannot stop myself from constantly searching, estate sales, old farmhouse sales, antique shops....I leave my name with anyone who might possibly come across one someday, pleading with them to call me if they spot one. My dream is to turn the corner on the way to a sale, and see quilts hanging on the line, from the porch railing, stacked on blankets on the lawn. Okay, my heart couldn't handle that so God hasn't granted me that one (although He has given me so many blessings, I cannot even begin to count them?!)

Fortunately, my passion is also a business, and all but the family quilts are for sale. That is how I can afford to buy them--I have to sell them! It is okay, because for a little while, I get to hold them, to admire the fabrics, to be in "awe" of the tiny stitching, and I dream a little about what the maker was like, what her life was like.....

I love my job!
