eBay My World: vraimentvintage( 1936)

I love fashion and design, especially people who don't go with the flow and do their own thing. I love people, my job, my life, my family. I believe in karma, so I try to be a decent human being, on eBay and off and laugh as often as possible.

For the last few years, I've been disinterested in fiction and only read non-fiction -- biographies, autobiographies, history, memoirs, etc. My favorite writer of fiction is Ernest Hemingway. I also love Catch-22, A Confederacy Of Dunces, old Stephen King, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Toni Morrisson.

I love what I do for a living! I started selling vintage items on eBay after I realized I had a number of items in my collection that were collecting dust, were too small, or I was just tired of wearing. The response was so great, that I started combing stores and estate sales all over to find items to sell. I love selling all over the world (to every continent but Antartica, of course). I have had many, many wonderful buyers, some of whom have sent me postcards and other items from their part of the world. I love making people happy by providing fun, eclectic and tried-&-true pieces of fashion history.
