Well, Hi!!  I'd just like to start out by thanking you for stopping by ItzzDi's Boutique!!!  I thought you might like a little background on me and the items you will find here. 

I have been in the fashion industry for most of my working career.  I took a few years off from that to dabble in the automobile sales industry.  I have decided to go back into fashion as that is what I love and am now working from home so that I can be with our children and here for my family more. 

I totally adore animals, all kinds.... sooo.... I am adding a link so that you may see where funds  from some of my sales will be donated. I will alter between the Animal Protection Society near where I live and the Myeloma Society which helped my Father when I am making my donations. Please check out these links....they will lead you to Mission Fish which offers a large variety of wonderful nonprofit causes to donate to. You will also be able to find links to items from other sellers there that are also making donations to a worthy cause.

The following is South Lake Animal League's "motto" and link to their site that can be found on Mission Fish:

To provide care for homeless, abandoned, injured or otherwise needy dogs and cats, while maintaining a strict no-kill policy, until all animals find their adoptive "forever homes." Learn more.

My Dad & Doolittle Team Up to Mow the Yard!!! **IWALY**

I started playing on EBAY around Christmas time as I needed to shop for gifts but was having difficulties finding unusual and fun items.  Let's just say...I was hooked.  I could stay home, shop, have things delivered right to me or someone else...AND SAVE MONEY!!!  How awesome is that?!!?  (Bet my husband wishes he had never introduced me to that!!)

I tried purchasing items using several other sites out there as well and have learned the hard way that they are not as reliable or safe to deal with as EBAY.  I also have soooo much stuff that we are just not using and the last time I gathered up stuff to get rid of,  I was going to donate them but they ended getting destroyed before I was able to get them to their designation.  Very sad loss. So, I have decided to offer many of our items that are still in great shape-used and new.  I have also run across some bargains and would like to share those savings with you.

Basically, this is a "hobby" for me at this point.  Bear with me as I learn how to upload CLEARER  pictures etc. I myself am relatively new to EBAY SALES and am learning the ropes to being a seller.  I will treat you the same way in which I hope to be treated as a consumer and only offer products that I, or someone in this household would use.

My Father recently passed away after a long tough battle with Multiple Myeloma, a rare type of Cancer.  He was treated in the later years by The University of Arkansas for Medical Science (UAMS).  The people that we have met over those years, both the patients and the staff who fought so hard to help my Dad, have been extremely wonderful, caring and COURAGEOUS!!!  As a way to honor my Dad I am posting a link to a donation site for all different types of cancer & disease research. Since tomorrow is Father's Day, I thought this would be an appropriate time to add this as I just made a donation in the hopes that someday they will be able to help someone else's Father, or anybody out there that needs the help....A portion of my sales will also be donated to a variety of causes.  Many people I know have someone out there that could be helped.  Hopefully **together** we can make a difference, Every little bit counts....  

 I have just found another donation site that will actually send money on to the research center - UAMS - that helped my Dad.  I am posting this here so that you may see where the funds that I am donating will be going.  On high ticket items a portion of my sales will automatically be sent there.  You will see this noted in the ad. http://www.myeloma.org/main.jsp 

On a more personal note....FYI....I do NOT live in a smoke-free or pet-free environment.  If that is important to you, or you have allergies, please make a note of this.  I keep inventory stored outside of the home for the most part however.  If it is in the home it is only short term.

I hope that you will enjoy shopping at ItzzDi's Boutique!!!

CHECK BACK OFTEN AS NEW ITEMS ARE ADDED CONSTANTLY!!!

Thanks for stopping in & hope to see you return often!!!

Have a wonderful Day!!!!
