eBay My World: bidder-411( 409)

The first thing I do in the early morning before getting ready to go to my teaching job, is to check my site! I can't wait to get home to start working.

Right now I am mostly selling things from my personal collections that I have acquired over the years. Most of my items are vintage glassware, tools, collectibles, old books, farm and garden items, and miscellaneous stuff. Lots of my items are from my grandmothers collections. I have just started creating ACEO cards, and am very excited about that. ACEO cards (Art Cards, Editions, and Originals) are 2.5 x 3.5 miniature works of art that can be traded or collected. They fit into standard trading card sleeves, and may be created with watercolors, oils, pencil, ink, mixed media, etc.

As I build my business, I will begin to look for unusual items to purchase. Because of my many years as a jeweler, I hope to expand into the area of vintage and unusual jewelry items. I am also an art teacher, and hope to find art supplies to resell.

I personally like to collect glasswear and vintage household items from the twenties. My house was built in 1927, and I a trying to capture an essence of that era.

I an am oil painter, and often just walk by my oil paints and sniff. I also enjoy other areas of art, and like to make paper and handmade books. I have had to curtail some of my activities because of my husband's illness, but hope to again indulge in one of my favorite hobbies, which is auction hunting.

I do not like blood and gore, but a good scary movie is right up my alley. I also like mysteries and adventure flicks.

I am originally from New Orleans, and jazz still gives me a thrill. Music from the 60's, and a little country is also in my agenda.

I like Law and Order, and all the new forensics shows. Court T.V. is often on in my den.

My ebay business is new, and there is not much background there to tell about. I did gain a lot of experience from my years as a pawn broker that aids me in my new adventure.

I accept Pay Pal, Bid Pay, and Money Orders, and can sometimes be talked into accepting checks.

I am flexible in my shipping options, and try to accommodate my customers. I also am open to pickup.

I try very hard to describe all of my items accurately. I encourage questions and comments before bidding. I accept returns if an item is not as described. Because of my years in other business ventures, I understand the issue of remorse buying. I do want my customers to be happy,however, and will always try to satisfy whenever I can.

I can be contacted through ebay and email, and always try to answer in a timely manner. Because I work during the day, it is usually in the early morning, or late afternoon and evening before I can answer questions.
