Rivermill Antiques

Rivermill Antiques began as a family business. Amanda Schneider and her mother, Sue Sparks, found an interest in antiques when Sparks inherited some of her mothers Jewel Tea collection. Schneider and her mother began selling antiques on Ebay and opened their first antique shop in 2000. In 2003, Schneider and her mother opened the current location of Rivermill Antiques, a store with 8,000 square feet and more than 50 dealers that rent out space.

The "Mountain Berry Basket" quilt square was inspired by the traditional Appalachia berry basket used for generations by families in Appalachia to collect berries, honey and other items.
