eBay My World: mizvioleta( 198)

i am brutally honest. i'm afraid that some sellers consider me a smart ass when they get an email from me regarding what they are selling. i don't mean to be rude, but i'm somewhat of an expert on morton pottery and would like to help others

i sell beautiful silk arrangements that i make out of quality silks........i do not use cut rate/run of the mill silks that any one can purchase on their weekly shopping trip. i make lovely counted cross stitch 'sayings' mounted in pretty baskets. they make lovely gifts. they are suitable for hanging. i make old fashioned spool dolls....the kind that some of us gave our babies to gnaw on when they were teething. at the current time, i am moving from my cabin on the lake to combine households with my beloved so i will be doing some spring house cleaning on to ebay. as soon as i get a reputable reference book, i will be selling the hundreds of marbles that i have collected through the years.

i ususally buy wall pockets, agate pieces, pampered chef, reference books, other little oddities that pique my curiosity.

had most of my green crops shipped by air freight. ground freight takes too long, doesn't pay attention to box contents, seldom have heated storage facilities.........result? frozen plant material. have successfully ups'd christmas wreaths all over the continental U.S. for ebay, i generally use usps parcel post. the cost is more reasonable and in some cases shipping time is the same. if i can safely fit your purchase in the $4.95 sized priority box, that is what i will use. i will email you and tell you when, how, and the destination your package shipped from.
