eBay My World: jv-meining( 1723)

HELLO and THANK YOU for visiting our page! We are John and Victoria, a husband and wife team who love to collect or make a variety of things. Please visit our store, Meining Mercantile at meining-mercantile.com, often! We are continually adding items

Vintage and antique items- tapestries, Depression glass, art pottery, and prints, statues, religious items, jewelry made with vintage components, model horses, POSTCARDS, (To be continued...) We also enjoy 'hunting and gathering' things in our Northern MN forests and other places to make things- DIAMOND WILLOW walking sticks and toothpick holders, lamps, etc., floral arrangements, feathers and grouse or pheasant tails (when we can get them), potpourri, dried plant materials, and various decorative and art objects made with natural materials. We also love to grow plants, and sell some during the warmer months. In addition, we hunt for, and polish, Lake Superior Agates, and other stones.

We have been building, and upgrading, several collections for many years. The more we collect--the more we learn about the things we collect! Very often this new knowledge leads to an 'off-shoot,' or an entirely new, collection. Since neither of us has a desire to live in a warehouse, we must make room for our new acquisitions. Therefore, most of the items we offer in our Auctiva-eBay store (meining-mercantile.com) have come from our personal collections. We also enjoy 'hunting and gathering' in our Northern MN forests, and other places. John has been creating DIAMOND WILLOW walking sticks, toothpick holders, and lamps, etc. for DECADES. He is very fussy, so his finished items are of the highest quality! John is a semi-retired carpenter, and will put his 30+ years of experience to work building a variety of items such as birdhouses, bird feeders, and much more. Victoria has designed floral arrangements for over 30 years. Some sold at a floral shop and craft sales.
