eBay My World: charmingex( 18)

My greatest achievement in life is my incredible family -- my wonderful and very supportive husband of 10 years, and my two beautiful children (ages 5 and 3).

I love beautiful things. My business started out in a local craft store selling wedding flowers and favors, and baby gifts and favors. Along the way I started adding in home decor items such as floral arrangements, wreaths, door pieces, frames, plaques and other home decor items . . . the list goes on and on. Oh, if I only had my own storefront, the things I could do. Being a seller on e-Bay gave me the idea of sharing not only my handcrafted items, but also different components for items I've picked up along the way. Over the years I've been told I 'have the eye- for beautiful things -- to that extent that's true, I would like to share my finds with you, all at BELOW RETAIL PRICES. I hope you come to enjoy these items as much as I have come to enjoy finding them!

Wholesale flowers, bouquets, vases, wreaths, baby items, wedding items, table decor, candleholders, and more!

Crafting, home design, gardening and scrapbooking (it's a recent passion, one for which I have very little time).

About Last Night, the Lord of the Rings Triology, Steel Magnolias (gets me every time!), Oceans 11 (the remake with Pitt & Clooney of course!), and oddly enough, Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

Bon Jovi, Pink, Five for Fighting . . . and I love going 'old school' -- CCR, America, Little River Band, Eagles, etc. (my friends think I'm a dork -- but I love music from the 70's!).

Boston Legal (so bummed it ended), House (love the sarcasm), Two and a Half Men, How a Met Your Mother ('awe-some'), Lost (how will it end?), Wipeout (I know I shouldn't laugh, but I just can't help it), and more recently, The Daily Show Central (how can you NOT laugh at John Stewart?). The now-off-the air West Wing was an amazing show too. I also have a hidden fondness for certain sci-fi flicks: Stargate, Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica (all which have ended), and now Sanctuary. What does it say that most of my favorites are off the air? Hmmmm.

I first started crafting in 1994 when I took a craft painting class with my Mom, who has been a crafter since the early 80's. She wasn't so thrilled with the painting, but I was -- I took to it and started painting everything: wood items, paper mache, terra cotta pots, clocks, lazy suzans and glass. The year before my marriage (1998) was a turning point in my craft life -- planning my wedding was phenomenal and it opened my eyes. I wanted just the right look for everything, from the flowers, to the favors, the invitations, centerpieces, the cake, gifts, etc. From that point forward, it became my mission to help as many people as possible plan the perfect wedding. In the craft store, I even help people as a de facto wedding planner if they are looking for help. People then started asking me to design floral arrangements for them - a swag for the bathroom, a centerpiece for the dining room table, and voila - my career in home decor began, and has continued to be a passion of mine!

PayPal -- I'm not high tech enough for anything else.

I prefer and recommend UPS for orders under $100 because insurance and tracking are all included in the cost. I also prefer UPS for larger items.

Our store has a section for miscellaneous items -- resale items, including clothes, toys, home decor. In many cases there will be items that were never opened or still have the tags on.
