Welcome to my eBay Store. A place of eclectic sundries, vintage toys, popular collectibles, historical items, educational materials, and all things that are interesting. Please take a look around my store and add it to your list of favorite sellers. I appreciate your business and thank you.
Hello! Thank you for your interest in my "about me" page. I hope that this page will help give you a little insight on the type of items that I list in my ebay store and auctions. I deal in the things that I am interested in and my interests cover a wide range of subjects, as the name of my store "Old Toys and Other Joys" implies. I love history, art, music, theater, movies, literature, antiques, collectibles, and nostalgic items. I am a retired teacher and history is my passion with my deepest interests in Texas and local history. I often have historical items, books, and teacher helps listed in my store. I have also been an artist since age 10 when I began taking lessons from a professional. I have been painting professionally for 31 years and taught art in middle schools for over a decade. If you like art I also have art books, crafter supplies, and sometimes art work listed as well. Other items that I like to deal in are Franciscan Ware, McCoy, and other types of pottery, ladies shoes (my faves!) and clothing, vintage collectibles and home decorations, Christmas ornaments and decorations, vintage sheet music and records, Coca Cola and soda collectibles, books, movies, and my absolute favorite vintage and nostalgic toys. I love the memories that those wonderful toys bring back, and I enjoy seeing the smiles and child-like glimmer that shines in the eyes of all my "grown-up" adult friends when they hold a familiar toy in their hands. I believe it is why vintage toys are so popular today...that memory magic.
Ebay is my favorite place to shop. I can always save time, gas, and money while finding exactly what I want from anywhere in the world at the push of a button. I think it will be a great way for me to make room for my new interests while allowing me to share my present treasures with other collecters. Some of my other interests are souviner spoons, old sheet music and musical instruments that are both old and cultural, old radios, Monopoly games, period clothing, BSA books and collectibles, coffee and tea pots, creamers, Route 66 items, collector hubcaps, old and nostalgic advertising signs, black americana items, Santa Clauses, and much more. I am looking forward to selling and sharing my interests with other ebayers who have the same. Happy Ebaying!
