Hi! My favorite thing is to travel the world taking photographs of animals in their natural habitat. Here I am with a Brown Lemur in Madagascar.
In addition to a love of travel, I was born with a congenital shopping affliction. My first itch to shop was scratched at the big Hudson’s department store in downtown Detroit, Michigan. Sadly, the grand old building was imploded in 1998. KA-BOOM!!! Hudson’s vanished in an enormous cloud of rubble and dust. The blast also destroyed part of the nearby People Mover transport system. Can a building enjoy revenge?
Over the years, my shopping affliction has become progressively worse. I’ve gone from fancy suburban malls to cheap outlet stores and currently I stalk bargains at garage and estate sales. I buy most anything but am particularly fond of advertising tins, sewing items and vintage printed textiles from the 30’s and 40’s.
If you win one of my auctions I’ll try my best to make the entire transaction fast and easy. I accept PayPal and also offer Pay on Pickup as a payment option. Whether a winning bid is $1, $100 or (woo hoo!) $1,000, I treat all auctions with the same care and I make a special effort to ship promptly. Please scroll down to read my "terms of sale".
*** If you have any questions, kindly email me at least 24 hours before the auction is scheduled to end. ***
