I'm really in love with mixed media art, creating original one of a kind jewelry and art projects for your enjoyment, and altered art of all kinds.

Handmade altered art charm bracelets, original one of a kind turqoise necklaces, mixed media art of all kinds depending on my mood. Antiques and collectibles that catch my eye. Things out of my closet (I do NOT garage sale... I have no patience!). Handmade visions of beauty and unique collectibles for the discriminating diva on a budget!

Oh goodness... lol. RS Prussia, Sevres, Meissen, Silver, antique chandeliers, crystal if it's right, cabbage roses, and chippy, shabby, painty, peely, sparkly, cheerful anything that suits me girly stuff that makes me happy kind of things. :) Handmade visions of beauty and unique collectibles for the discriminating diva on a budget... of course! ;)

Sparklies ~ lots and lots of sparklies... chippy painty sparkly shabby treasures... RS Prussia roses... turquoise jewelry of the largest kind. Everything that's overdone, gussied up, and just a little too big and blingy for the girl who lunches at Tiffany's!

Germany ... if a country could be the love of my life then Germany is my heart. France ... there's never ever enough time to see everything I need to see when I'm in Paris. Italy ... for some reason I think heaven must be a bit like an old villa in Tuscany. Amsterdam ... she's a very naughty girl, that city! Alaska... one of the many places I grew up. Hawaii ... where I snorkeled and learned to fly gliders (yes, those airplanes without engines) at a very young age). Washington state, Washington D.C., Orgeon, the Virginias, the Carolinas, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana, Texas, Oklahoma ... where the wind really does come sweeping down the plains, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kentucky, Arkanas, Missouri ... (is there a reason people jokingly pronounce it Misery?) ... I'm sure you're bored by now so I'll spare you the rest of the list and just summarize by saying I've been lots and lots of places! Oh yes and of course ... I was born in California... like fer sure!

Paypal is definitely preferred please! Let's not bog life down with the tedium of anything else if you can help it... instant payment gets you next day shipping! That means your treasures will get there faster... what could be better?! US Postal Money orders will be accepted... payment has to be in my hot little hands within 7 days after the auction closes - which means you have to put it in the mail almost immediately ... and it has to clear... which takes another 10 to 14 days according to my bank. Dreadfully tedious but we'll do it if there's not other way! Sadly, if you have not paid for your auction within 7 days after your auction has ended I will be forced to let E-bay know and they will send you one of those hateful little letters. Ick!

USPS priority mail in every case possible! We will keep shipping as economical as possible whenever possible and we'll put whatever items in that box that can be safely put in there. There may occasionally be a small handling fee ... but only if your treasure requires extra packing and I'll definitely tell you in advance.

There will be no returns, please! Everything is described accurately every single time! Insurance is required ... every single time! If you bid on one of my items that means that you 1) understand the measurements that are listed, 2) agree that you are willing to pay for your treasure, 3) and promise that you will love and cherish it!

Please, contact me through E-bay's e-mail system! I check my e-mail every single day without fail. I would ask that you understand that I live in a state where we are sometimes declared a national disaster... erm emergency. We seem to suffer from a perpetual disaster in one form or another ... to include ice, random snows, floods, sheet rain, straight line winds, tornadoes and this past year for the first time ever the eye of a hurricane started over the teeny tiny little town of 700 that I live on the outskirts of ... and flooded my house (no, I'm nowhere near a flood zone). SO, if you don't hear for me for some bizarre reason rest assured the Governor is visiting our area and the the President will be calling in FEMA (... no comment!!). Feel free to check the weather channel for conditions in Oklahoma! ;)

I absolutely want you to adore my treasures! I'll be listing handmade items as I can finish them ... please understand that as with all handmade items no two things will be the same. Each item will be lovingly made and offered and it would be something that I would proudly display in my studio. Do not bid on my treasures unless you're quite sure that you will adore them! I will be listing magical treasures made by others from time to time as well. All of the item descriptions will let you know what kind of treasure you're bidding on.
