eBay My World: posh*pig*vintage( 5437)

I'm a vintage crazed eccentric :) I like to surround myself with things from the past, be it my 1860s bed or my collection of 50s Ceramic Arts Studio figurines. If it's artsy and creative, I like it. I hoard it. I have too much of it...

Vintage clothing, accessories, textiles, and related from the Victorian era up to the 1960s. I rarely sell other things as I try to keep my buying/selling habits to what I'm truly interested in and have a strong passionate knowledge base of.

You might occasionally find me bidding on full skirted 50s dresses, novelty 50s skirts, 40s and 50s shoes, vintage display related items, and Ceramic Arts Studio pieces.

I have a weakness for sculptural/architectural hats-especially Bes-Bens (I have a modest showing of them), extravagant pre-50s shoes, uncut early (pre-1900s) cotton yardage in bold patterns/color combos, uncut novelty print cotton yardage up to the 50s, dancer-themed vintage linens (especially those with Flamenco), Ceramic Arts Studio (mostly the modern dance and Asian inspired pieces), interesting pots (signed early 1900s ranging to more whimsy McCoy), Art Nouveau and Art Deco, 20's thru 40's mannequin heads (for hat displays), too much stuff...

English, French, tiny bit of Japanese, if you don't mind minor mist

flamenco dancing, treasure hunting (yeah, my idea of a GREAT time is getting up at the crack of dawn to enter an outdoor market when it opens-seriously!), seeing new and interesting things

7 years of selling vintage clothing on ebay (first under my mother's ID and then under this one), 2 years of doing Chicago-area shows, BA in Art History with emphasis on late 19th C

Paypal, money orders, checks. All checks held for 10 days.

I ship usually the day after you pay (except for checks). If you want to combine wins, let me know so I don't ship something before you win another item-I really do try to get things out to people FAST! Buyer is to pay all shipping (which usually means actual postage + delivery confirmation & insurance if needed). I ship via USPS ONLY. Insurance is required in the US for orders totaling over $50. Global express mail is required for orders totaling over $100 (unless package is heavy/large). I really DON'T like shipping things via surface as it takes forever and not everyone truly understands that.

I do not accept returns for fit-I provide ample measurements and if you need to know the size of something, just email me and I'll get it for you. Colors may vary from computer to computer, I try to give you an idea of a color in words though. If I have sent you the wrong item, or have made a drastic mistake in describing something I'm easy to work with, just let me know immediately.

Ebay's email system is probably the best way to contact me. My mailing address will be provided when you win an item and you can go through ebay to get my phone number if involved in a transaction with me and having real troubles contacting me through the internet. Otherwise, no calls please-it's sort of weird.
