MY EBAY SELLING IS  ON HOLD UNTIL THE END OF 2008.

I APPRECIATE & THANK YOU TO EACH OF MY BUYERS!

I've enjoyed ebay since March 1999.  I find it fun, exciting & enjoy bidding, buying & selling.  I did not actively sell for a while but started selling again in May 2008. I had a great time as a Seller before and was successful with no complaints.  I hope to do that again.  I am a collector of costume jewelry & other items like armadillos, hummingbirds, beanie babies & Catholic medals of saints & rosaries. I've been blessed to meet some good Christian friends: Hi My-Brocante, Moomama & Debimir!  I'm adding some new friends now.  Yay for great ebayers! One of my future hopes is that some of my collections will appreciate in value & can help put my three grandchildren (who are now ten, nine and 8, years of age) through college in the coming years.  Sadly the market on beanies has crashed.   Hobbies My husband continues his work on 1956 Ford F100 called the "The Big Gorilla".  It's finished & hope to bring home an award from a car show in California in August 2008. My goal is to have full health, enough strength to work, exercise & to continue losing weight. I've dropped 150 pounds since 1/5/07 & have 65 pounds more to get rid of.  The weight loss has slowed the last two months but my skin is 'catching up'. I can't spend too much money on my 'interim' wardrobe.   I hope to earn enough by selling my larger clothing items to purchase my 'new' smaller wardrobe. If I'm lucky my auctions will help me do that.  Currently I am stuck between sizes 18-20 & 20-22 depending on the style.  I belong to T.O.P.S. (Take off pounds sensibly) where we have a weekly weigh in to keep me accountable. At each end of month meeting, we have a clothing exchange where we bring what we've 'shrunk' out of & pick up either 'goal' clothes or ones that fit us now.  Because I was MUCH larger than most of the women in the group at the time I joined, most of the largest clothing I've taken in  huge black tie-top bags to Goodwill.  While it serves as a tax break at the end of the year, it doesn't help me right now. We are owned by a young bullmastiff female named Precious. She's 17 months old and weighs 115 pounds (probably more now) & is a great lap dog.  She's on my lap in the picture above.  I love lying in my hammock between two evergreens feeling a gentle breeze and having a small view of Puget Sound.  Life doesn't get better than this. My favorite colors are: purple, fuschia, emerald green, blue & turquoise. I love multiple colors & 'BLING'!  Anything, shiny, sparkly, dangly items  like earrings, necklaces, blue jeans chains, etc.  Many of the items are in ALMOST NEW WITHOUT TAGS condition, others are GENTLY WORN WITH NO HOLES, STAINS, EXCESSIVE wear & with ALL BUTTONS INTACT.  The condition of the clothing will be STATED CLEARLY in the description of individual auctions. All items will be CLEANED according to EBAY STANDARDS before shipping.  Since the items will be rolled for shipping in the flat rate boxes, some wrinkling may show. NOW FOR AUCTION 'TERMS & CONDITIONS' I REQUIRE purchasing USPS insurance. Once the box leaves my possession, I cannot be responsible for any item lost or damaged in shipping.   All items come from a SMOKE FREE Home. METHODS OF PAYMENT:   I always accept Paypal and prefer it! PayPal's service seems to be a fast, easy, and secure way of making payments for your eBay purchases! I will accept Cashier's Checks or Money Orders but obviously those will take longer to process. Please let me know if that's the method you choose so I don't send any 'gentle reminders' for payment.  Thanks a billion!   Payment is due within 7 days of auction close. If you choose to MAIL PAYMENT, it must be received within 10 working days after after the Auction's close & you receive my e-mail with total due and address to send payment. I do NOT accept personal checks! RETURN POLICY    All items are sold in AS IS condition as CLEARLY stated in each auction. All sales are FINAL!   I do not refund shipping & handling.  However, if you are dissatisfied by my representation of an item, I'll do what I can to make it right.  Hopefully after we communicate & before leaving negative feedback. Smile! SHIPPING  I ship ONLY to USA. Shipping is via USPS. I'll use USPS flat rate box in medium or large sizes for multiple items or 'priority mail' shipping for smaller, lighter items. I'll ship within one or two days after each auction ends & once payment is received. Shipping confirmation will be sent to all winners.  Once again, I REQUIRE purchasing shipping insurance. The fee for that is shown on each auction page. I do not like waiting for my items and I don't think you want to wait for yours. I NEVER mark-up postage.   International Bidders:   I'm sorry, but at this time International Shipping will NOT be offered! WINNERS   Please, include your Auction Item #, eBay User ID, and Shipping Address along with your payment.  Any followup information on the quality of my items will be appreciated. When you receive your item(s) please leave feedback so I'll know you received your delivery. If you pay promptly I'll be happy to leave positive feedback for you.  I leave feedback for Buyers as soon as possible after payment.  I don't wait until you leave it for me.  Please ask questions BEFORE bidding. If you do not intend to pay for the item, please do not place a bid. Again, all sales are FINAL. I believe in looking on the Bright side of life in spite of the fact that I sometimes must make that choice moment by moment. May you have a safe & peaceful 2008! Favorite quotes: "So of cheerfulness, or a good temper, the more it is spent, the more it remains."~Ralph Waldo Emerson "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  "May the words of my mouth & the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Strength & my Redeemer." Psalm 19:14 "Hold an image of the life you want and that image will become fact" Norman Vincent Peale Smile, it improves your face value! Injoy:) Carolyn

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you'll return to my auctions when I start listing again at the end of 2008.

Not long ago
   in early morn,
I thought I saw
   a unicorn.
Just one swift glimpse
   of golden horn,
but in that instant
   hope was born.

I now have a Purple Star on my ebay account.  That means I've EARNED a rating of 500+.  That does admittedly take effort, but I like reaching for the stars.
