eBay My World: kansascajun( 2220)

I am a 66 year old Grandmother who has been a Rock Hound, Gem Collector, jewelry designer & an Interior Designer (Retired) for over 30 years. Also, I have been doing Gem & Mineral shows for over 30 years as well. I thoroughly enjoy life itself.

Earrings, Bracelets, Necklaces, Pendants & just recently added..Pet Collars for our Furry Children that I design and make... All items are made with Natural Gemstones (unless otherwise noted) & Sterling Silver, 14K Gold-Fill, 22K & 24K Vermeil, Tibetan Silver & Tibetan Golden Beads & Toggles, because of their durability & Wonderful Solid Copper. I never settle for second best material..I always purchase stones that I would wear. Therefore, I only purchase the best grade available. PEARLS & Jade ARE MY SPECIALITY though.

I buy Gemstones, Findings, Shoes, Cameras...anything that you can find in a store..I do on the internet or at Gem Shows. I am slightly handicapped in walking and this is my way of shopping.

I collect Gems & Minerals, Belleek, Silver & China items, Cook Books (Over 250) & Teapots.

Well of course, I design & make Jewelry, I am a Gardner (had to cut back), Grandkids of course, Flower arranging & Gormet Cooking is my specialty. I create my own recipes & have won many contest and I am published, but not in my own cookbook yet..One day it will happen. I have started sending one of my Original Recipes with each Auction win. Now my latest hobby is Selling on Ebay...I absolutely LOVE doing it and meeting people.

This may sound like a cliche`, but the Bible is & I save my eyes for that. My eyes don't hold out for reading too much, I have Multiple Sclerosis and it has affected my eyes too much for reading too much print. Jewelry making is OK though with my eyes.

French Kiss, Pretty Woman, South Pacific are a few.

I love Gospel, Patsy Cline, George Strait, Elvis, The Stones, any Rock & Roll & Classical. I guess that covers it all. I also play the piano.

I love the Animal Planet, History Channel, Discovery, Dancing With the Stars, Amazing Race & other Reality shows, Cops, Home & Gardens & The Cooking Channel.

My Ebay name and my name around Kansas is Kansascajun, which I became known as when we were transplanted from Slidell, Louisiana, which is in South Louisiana,to the Great State of Kansas going on 19 years ago. My husband is a native Louisianaian,and I was born in Mississippi, but lived most of my life in Louisiana. We have two grown sons, both in the military, and two Wonderful Daughter-in-laws and 6 absolutely GRAND Grandchildren...three little boys and three little girls and last but not least at all is our Furry Child Lizzy the Westie who rules the roost.

As of September 16,2008 Ebay will no longer accept anything but PayPal. This I regret, but have to comply. But please wait for an invoice to get full shipping discounts if you are buying more than one item. It is still ALWAYS better to wait for the invoice.

I ship everything within two days after receiving payment and I ship First Class in a Padded Envelope and all Jewelry is secured in a Gift Box with Cotton.

Items are returnable within 7 days for full refund except for the shipping cost, as long as the item is in the same condition as it was when shipped , unless it is totally my mistake. I pay for my mistakes. I cannot refund shipping if you have just changed your mind and don't want the item. But since Christmas 2008 I have been doing free shipping in the US and Very low shipping to Canada and other countries around the world.

GEMSTONE EARRINGS, BRACELETS, NECKLACES & Pet/OUR FURRY CHILDREN COLLARS... My jewelry is made mostly from Genuine Stones..some may be color enhanced, but they are the real and genuine stones. I also love the unusual and rare minerals and will introduce them whenever I can find them. I have now added Cloisonne & the Beautiful Glass Pearls and I use mostly 14KYGF, 22K & 24K Vermeil,.925 Sterling Silver, Tibetan Silver & Tibetan Golden Beads and Pewter (lead free) & Toggles & bead caps and Solid Copper in my jewelry line. I do not consider my jewelry to be costume when the jewelry is made of genuine stones and precious metals. I only make what I would wear myself and I like the very best..so I buy only the very best materials for the absolute lowest price available and like to pass on the savings. All of my designs are my own..I copy noone. Also, I always welcome comments and suggestions from my friends out there. Custom Work is Available on Request.

The Hottest Metal around is The Beautiful Silver..because it goes with the season so well. The stones choices are so varied, but the Chocolate Pearl and the Jades are still #1 & #2. The most popular colors are beautiful and light and Yummy Citrus..added with a little chocolate (chocolate Pearls of course). Let me know what you want to see and that will help me in my choices of what to make.
