Adventures in Collecting

From gems to dolls to other oddities, only the unusual intrigue me.

The rarest of rare do sometimes turn up, no matter what you collect. I fancy early china dolls. Antique dolls are gems in their own right. These lovely dolls hark back to a time when "play" was serious business. I've been collecting early china dolls for many years now, and continue to find different versions.

Antique jewelry can be the ultimate way of making a statement with your accessories. Such finery is so much more unique than modern mass produced baubles - and buying antique is the green way to go!

I have been an active part of the eBay community since 1998, but the times they are a-changing. eBay was once home to a multitude of small sellers of unique items. The new eBay is making the selling environment untenable for those small sellers. Sadly, I fear the new eBay will be little different from a large online mall. So in this Brave New World, it has come time to forge new paths elsewhere.

Happy selling, shopping and collecting, no matter where your journey leads you.
