eBay My World: stoneharborgifts( 360)

I've been selling on eBay for a few years and finally took the plunge to open a store. My dream is to be so busy with my eBay store that I won't have time to keep my day job! It's all my own work:photography, writing the listings, and packing.

I'm continually finding and listing interesting new things. My favorites are glassware and dishes, but I look for all kinds of cool stuff to sell. I have a huge collection of vintage Avon bottles that will be listed when I have time, tons of cobalt blue glass items, and a great variety of household and decorative things.

I buy things that I can get for a good price and pass along as a bargain to you! Yard sales and flea markets are among my favorite sources, plus I am clearing out my own house and my mother's household items. Many of my vintage pieces come from her home.

I USED to collect cobalt glass, pigs, swans, pretty much anything that I ended up with 3 or more of!! Now I'm hoping to pass these collections on to others who will enjoy them (and I won't have to dust them!)

Spend way too much time messing around on my computer. Between eBay and Pogo I'm glued to my keyboard! Also like gardening, travel, reading, puzzles, good music.

I live on the coast of Maine on a tidal river. When the weather is friendly I sometimes take my photos on the deck with the river in the background.

Stone Harbor Gifts began in August 2007 when I decided to open an eBay store. It's exciting to begin this new venture! I will be adding unique 'Made in Maine' products to my inventory in the near future.

Most of the items are listed with Buy It Now prices which require immediate payment. PayPal is what is generally used but I accept money orders also.

I ship through the US Post Office trying to find the least expensive way to get your purchase to you. Usually I ship the day after your payment goes through - if not the same day! If shipping will be delayed for some reason I'll let you know. I am a neurotic packer and spend inordinate amounts of time making sure items are packed well and safely.

I don't have a return policy as such. If something is not to your liking I hope you'll contact me promptly and we can work out a solution to our mutual satisfaction.

I am a partially retired mother of 2, grandmother of 4. I was born in New London, CT and have lived in New England all my life (so far). In 1989 I was finally able to move to Maine and fulfill a long-time wish. We built our own house on a west-facing riverbank in Mid-coast Maine and settled in! Thankfully it has enough rooms that I was able to take one over for my eBay endeavors. It's thoughtfully referred to as the 'junk room' by everyone except me! A dog from a local shelter, three cats, two parakeets and a rabbit share our home and keep it alive (not to mention liberally decorated with hair and feathers!)
