eBay My World: mshaversham( 2006)

I love beautiful, feminine things and have only recently begun to really indulge myself in them.

I sell beautiful things that make me smile...cosmetics, jewelry, and pretty vintage items, when I can find them. And soon my growing collection of vintage compacts will be spilling over into my store. But the main focus of Great Expectations is discounted makeup, skin care, and perfume. I'm especially fond of those promotional, gift with purchase, trial and travel size treats. I love getting to know different brands, be they Sephora standards or be they exotic designer makeup lines I've never heard of before, but at the top of the train case, so to speak, (all 7 of them actually), are my three signature brands, Estee Lauder, Lancome, and Clinique. And if that sounds predictable, it SHOULD be...they're the best!

I love high-end makeup and am building quite a palette! Researching a small vintage jewelry inheritance has opened the modern jewelry to me, and I'm starting to love it almost as much as I've always loved older vintage and antique baubles. I also have a lively little collection of vintage sterling vanities...I especially like small items. For a while I seemed to be obsessed with boxes...then that turned into compacts. It feels like I started collecting compacts about two minutes ago, but they're all over the house now, spilling out of boxes, crowding shelves on stands, heaped up on the table by the couch...how did this happen?!? And then there's the place where two of my favorite things collide: Estee Lauder compacts!

I'm fond of vintage and antique items, but any shiny, pretty thing can catch my attention. My husband says I'm a bit like a crow in that way!
