Welcome and Thank You for visiting "The Black Fork Peddler".
My name is Kathy and I was born and raised in the North Central part of Ohio, where I still live today. I am married to the love of my life and "Mom" to the greatest kids in the world! Our girls are the coolest and they do everything from play softball, volleyball & track, ice skating, cheerleading, march in the school band and sing in the choir! I'm a full-time, un-paid taxi-driver, that wouldn't trade it for the world! We are so fortunate to live in one of the most beautiful places on the map, in "Mohican Country" in North Central Ohio along the Historical "Black Fork River" in Ashland County.
I have a passion and undeniable love for antiques, particularly primitives and salvaged architecture dating to the 18th & 19th Century. I have been a collector and designer nearly all my adult life as it was passed down to me by my Mother and GrandMother, who also had a love for history and the wares it left behind. In addition to owning and operating my own business, I have been an antiques dealer for nearly 20 years, and now use ebay as my number one resource for selling, buying and trading the wares I love. I primarily sell antique & vintage items on ebay, but am known to sell about anything under the sun as I am a Registered Trading Assistant and offer my services to the public. I am an avid buyer on ebay and have made a commitment to shop on ebay when possible in order to continue to support this amazing and user friendly way of trading and shopping.
My husband and I coach girls Fast Pitch Softball and are the founders of the "Mid-Ohio Thunder" Fast Pitch Softball Organization (www.midohiothundersoftball.com). We love these kids and are thankful for the opportunity to be mentor to these fantastic and very talented, young athletes. Each one of these girls are very special to us and we were fortunate enough to make it all the way to the ASA National Fast Pitch Championship in August 2007! I have an education in business & marketing and am a hobby landscape-photographer who's had the privileage of having many of my photos published in several different nationally circulated magazines. I travel every chance I get and have been fortunate enough to see many beautiful and amazing places from one end of the globe to the other. I love to garden (an
other one of my passions), work in design, be outdoors, and I consider myself to be an honest, old-fashioned, country girl who loves her family, her home, and the Lord Almighty with all her heart. I am a trustworthy buyer and seller who believes one's word should always be trusted and depended on. I continue to strive to offer interesting and unique items and I'm thankful for each and every bid and purchase my customers make as it allows me to stay home with my family and be the "Mom & Wife" I longed to be and I believe God intended me to be. I hope to do business with each and every one of you at some time in the future.
My family and I live in beautiful "Mohican County" in North Central, Ohio, where the rivers, hills, and endless forests are nature's backdrop. My home is known for it's many lakes & rivers, including the beautiful "Black Fork River", which once was used by Indians as a primary resource for food & transportation. It is known for it's American Indian heritage and and has landmarks that commemorate their presence and their lifestyle. Our area has more canoe liveries and camping grounds than nearly anywhere in the World and is a true "summer town" as tourists come from all over to enjoy the outdoors and the endless things to do in our area, such as boating & skiing in our beautiful lakes, hiking, biking and rock climbing in our splendid state parks, go-carting, watersliding, putt-putt golfing, and ofcourse the shopping, festivals and quaint restaurants located in historic, downtown Loudonville. We are blessed to call this place our home, and my children are fortunate
to grow up here, where the sound of birds singing awaken you in the morning, the frogs & crickets sing you to sleep at night and where so many wonderful, historic things happened, here, in the rolling hills, the dense woods, and the flowing rivers, we call "Mohican Country".
