About billiegirl200 (JoysJewelz store)

An antiques dealer and designer by trade, we sold antiques through 2 antiques malls, but now sell our items only on the internet. In addition to antiques, we also sell a number of other items, listed below. Thanks for visiting and please check back often.

Designer Items

I am a huge Louis Vuitton fan and have a number of handbags and accessories including make-up bags, wallets, change purses and scarves. All of my items are authentic. I love them all, but favor a few and put the rest up for auction. I'll carry the bag for a while (sometimes years) and decide on something else. Louis Vuitton is a great investment given it's resale value in the second-hand market such as ebay. When you purchase an authentic LV item, you are purchasing a timeless classic which is beautifully constructed and will stand the test of time. I have other designer items by Coach, Fendi, Gucci, and Prada, to name a few.

I only sell authentic items - FAKES ARE ILLEGAL! I do belong to a anti-counterfeit organization called FLALV - Forever Lovers of Authentic Louis Vuitton. Membership is available only to those sellers who can prove that what they buy and sell is authentic. Strict guidelines and protocols must be adhered to or you are kicked out. Many members of FLALV also belong to Know Knockoffs or My Poupette.

In addition, I also sell other unique clothing and accessories for men and women including jeans, ties, shoes, vintage handbags, and jewellery.

Antiques

While selling designer clothing and accessories is one aspect of our ebay selling experience, we also sell antiques and native north american indian artifacts. I am an antiques dealer by trade and until November 2008, I had retail space in 2 Antique Malls and have closed my stalls and sell only via the Internet. I sometimes participate in Native American, Western or Antiques shows and sales and have been on the Antiques Roadshow with some of my items. So, if you see something interesting or are looking for something in particular, please email me, as I may have it.

Murano

I am absolutely passionate about Murano glass, so much so, that I've decided to make it a part of my business. I travel to Italy twice a year and personally choose a wide variety of gorgeous handmade Murano pieces and bring them back. Each piece is one-of-a-kind, no two are the same. So, if you see something, get it while you see it, as when it's gone, it's gone. There may be something similar, but it won't be identical. These pieces are all made by hand by artisans in Italy. While you may be tempted to buy some look-a-like or "murano" style piece - don't do it. These are cheap knock-offs made in China or elsewhere and are NOT authentic Murano pieces made on the island of Murano. Only glass made in Murano, Italy can be called Murano Glass. You will pay more for these pieces, but you are getting a one-of-a-kind piece of handcrafted glass using centuries old techniques that have been passed down through generations and techniques perfected.

Please visit here often, as I'll be creating a newsletter about my Italian adventures and sharing some of the experiences here. I travel twice yearly to Italy looking for interesting and unique items to bring back for all of you, who may not be able to get there, but want a piece of authentic Italian treasures.

Cosmetics and Skin Care

I used to be a makeup artist and have been passionate about cosmetics and skin care for a long time. I'm always on the lookout for great skin care and cosmetics at reasonable prices that I pass on to you. Being in business, I have access to a lot of suppliers, not available to the casual seller.

I love mineral make-up and have been using Bare Escentuals and Jane Iredale for years. Please check my listings for lots of new Bare Escentuals listed this week and weeks to come. I also love the Australian companies / lines like Mirenesse (they have wonderful moisturizers), Sue Devitt, eco-vey (organic makeup), Miessence - an Organic personal care product line from Australia - their Jaffa lip balm's are outstanding. I also love Stila and carry some of their cosmetics. I'll be expanding my cosmetics and skin care line, so, please check back often for more great products. Also, if there's anything you may be looking for, please email me, as I can probably find it for you.

All are new, unused and untested. I purchase Miessence directly from the company in Australia and the others through other wholesalers that are not available to the casual seller. Why pay retail?

Music

My husband is the Principal and founder of Wizard Electric Music which is a recording studio and he sells his music sells under his own record label (n-spacerecords.com). Besides the normal engineering functions, the studio offers services ranging from original composition, arranging, producing and just about anything you can think of. Many artists have come in with just an idea and left with fully produced songs or albums.

My husband has written a great deal of his own material - new age, jazz, rock, easy listening and religious music. He's now ventured into the world of country music. Three albums have been released to the public and many cuts have found their way to the playlists of various genres of radio stations.

Please check wizardelectricmusic.com or n-spacerecords.com as to where you can purchase or download his music. If you have any questions about Wizard Electric Music or n-space records, please email me.
