Welcome from Port Angeles, Washington
This is a great area to live. We have the Olympic Mountain Range on one side, and Victoria, Canada across the water.
A Little about Craftiques
This is how I got started selling on Ebay. My sister and I lost our Father in January of 2000. Then we got our own Christmas Angel. Our Mother passed away Christmas morning 2002. After the loss of our Dad we decided we need to slowly start going through stuff. That was when we decided to slowly start selling a few items on Ebay to see what it was all about. We had heard stories over the years about people coming across money or papers hid in strange places. So we knew we had to just take our time. Glad we did, we did find some surprises here and there. Then we decided after Mom passed away that we were not going to have an Estate Sale. That I would continue selling items on Ebay. We knew the things we wanted to keep that had been in the family for along time, and things that we needed to get rid of. Our parents were from the Depression Era and they never got rid of anything. Our Mother's family was from the Homestead Era. So each week I slowly go through things. I call this trash and treasure day. I have come across items thinking why would anybody want this. Before it gets tossed in the trash can I came home and check on Ebay and sure enough there are people out there that collect it. This has been a real learning experience on what people want or what is just trash. The only thing is that now I'm really hooked. I've even started going to local thrift stores and rummage sales. I guess you can call me a Ebay junkie and I'm having a blast doing it. Thanks for stopping and reading my story and have a great day!!!
