Sisters

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning, a bit crisp but with the sun shining and still some color on the trees, the makings for a pleasant Fall drive. 

We are on our way to Sun Prairie to deliver an antique table and general store cabinet to our niece Mallory, who recently bought a home there. She wanted a large table for her dining room and something for her kitchen that she could use for an island. She has the same taste that I do, mixing old with new, not concerned that everything “matches”. She trusted me to find her the right piece for the size of her kitchen and I had to hunt for a bit to find one but I think she’ll be happy with what I found.

I love looking for a specific piece for someone, (if it’s for someone special that’s even better) checking all my favorite spots for just the right thing. Sometimes I may have to look for awhile and check a lot of places (some of them a couple of times) but that’s one of the parts of my job that I like the most. I often tell customers searching for a special piece that “the hunt is the best part” of looking for something.

It’s a good feeling to know that customers (related and otherwise) feel that they can trust me to find them what they are looking for at a price they are comfortable with. They also know that they are not forced to take what I find if they have changed their mind for whatever reason.

My sister Suz and I have worked hard for many years to not only gain that trust but to be shop owners with integrity, to always try to do the right thing by our customers. In my opinion, that’s the most valuable thing we have at Sisters…k
