WELCOME TO ANNIE'S PORCH

SINCE YOU ASKED......

I guess you didn't really ask, but you are here, so thank you! My name is Carol and I have had a small gift shop/boutique/craft business for many many years. I was a Registered Nurse for several years and I gradually started my own business in order to have the freedom to spend more time with my sons....

I have been married to a terrific man for 37 years and he likes to be called an "honorary ebayer". It sounds cliche, but I have the most wonderful family in the world! We have two awesome handsome sons who have added two awesome beautiful "daughters" to our family - I'm not crazy about that "in-law" title. AND...we now have two beautiful, perfect, awesome GRANDDAUGHTERS!!! and two beautiful, perfect, awesome GRANDSONS!!!

I chose the name Annie's Porch for my Ebay store as a tribute to my grandmother and my wonderful memories of sitting on her porch. Here is a picture of the REAL Annie and her porch circa 1955 - I'm the one hiding behind my little brother.
Music is also a big part of our family's life. In case you are interested in some cool pics and bios..... below is a link to the website of our family band Ten Minute Warmup.

TEN MINUTE WARMUP

This is my "little" brother, my sons, my hubby (the cool bearded drummer) and my neice and nephew.

SO...WHY EBAY???

As I mentioned, I do have a retail gift business and until a couple of years ago it was a small but nice "brick and mortar" store on Main Street in the downtown area of our small historical town on the banks of the Wabash. Sounds very quaint, I know, but "quaint" and "historical" do not translate into "sales", especially in this mostly rural, conservative town. As with many small downtown areas, it had been going downhill in recent years and I was continuing to go into debt to keep it going.

I was getting very discouraged and about ready to throw in the towel when my four "kids" gave me a scanner and encouraged me to try eBay...and the rest is history. I have been a full time ebayer since January 2001 and I have met some of the nicest buyers and sellers on eBay - I have also met some nice people and received wonderful help from the discussion boards, especially the Auction Listing Board, the Stores board and the Photos/HTML board. I am mostly a seller but I also enjoy shopping on ebay.

Most of my auctions are brand new items (I still have my business and go to market, etc. - just don't have the "brick and mortar" now.) I like to specialize in "theme" items like cats, sports, occupations, special interests. We are a tennis and music family and we love cats, so I can spot tennis, music and cat things a mile away when I go to jewelry and gift shows, but I look for lots of different things. I will also sometimes list craft supplies and occasionally some used items and some closeout items.

I will always try to be fair and honest and provide good service. If a buyer is not satified with a purchase I will always try to make it right! When I am buying, I tend to avoid auctions with 3 pages of rules and policies so I try to keep things simple.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope your eBay experience is as good as mine has been so far!
