eBay My World: kaifive( 1948)

Aloha! I'm a 40-something former east coast gal who has made Maui her home for the past 20 years. I spend most of my time ensuring that my 2 teenage kids are doing well; husband and dog are both happy, and enjoying life here on a day-to-day basis!

I like to sell a wide variety of stuff. Mostly though, you'll find cosmetics, beauty products, clothes, jewelry, crafts, surf and kite surf equipment, books, handbags, and accessories.

Most of what I make on Ebay tends to get spent right back on buying on Ebay. My favorite things to buy are (in order of importance to me): books, handbags, jewelry, and cosmetics.

I'm not really a huge collector of any one particular thing, although I have started to put together a very nice collection of glassware from the small town of Biot, in France. I also have a pretty nice-sized library of books - mostly history, art history.

Reading, spending time with my family, going to the beach, cooking, shopping on Ebay, browsing book lists on Amazon.

So many to list! Some of my most favorites from over the years: Sophie's Choice (Styron), Midnight's Children (Rushdie), The Great Indian Novel (Tharoor), Rebecca (du Maurier); recent favorites: The Doomsday Book (Willis), Suite Francaise (Nemirovsky), The Lost (Mendelsohn).

Amadeus, Blades of Glory, A Room with a View, Legally Blonde

Yikes..this will show my age (I think!): Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, 10, 000 Maniacs, David Bowie, Emmylou Harris

Although I really don't watch too much TV at all anymore, I tend to get drawn in to shows like The Dog Whisperer, and America's Next Top Model.
