Business InformationHistory/background
Now that my daughters are grown and I have retired from teaching Second Grade I now have time (or at least I'm taking the time) to do some of those things I've always wanted to do. Recently, my husband and I have been enjoying going to auctions and estate sales and this has caused me to expand my love of vintage linens. I'm learning a lot and it's great fun. But there is a limit to how many linens one house can hold. My daughter's suggestion was to sell them on E-bay. I had experience in retail (I owned a children's resale shop for a few years) but no experience with E-bay or computers (that's where my daughter came in). With her excellent help, we launched Maddie's Treasures (named after my sweet grand daughter). My daughter does the technical stuff and I do all the fun stuff.
My Selling Philosophy
It is my goal to sell a wide variety of fine quality and unique vintage linens from the casual to the elegant. No junk here! Every item will be carefully described and any flaws noted. Most items will be listed as found. Nothing will be sold that is not in usable condition. These are vintage linens so they will most like not be perfect and imperfections consistent with age are to be expected. Read my descriptions carefully and you will know exactly what you are getting. I have a good eye for quality and it is my goal to have happy, satisfied customers.
