My name is Deborah but I only answer to that when I'm in trouble. My friends call me Deb or Dizzi or Diz.  I was born in St. Louis, Missouri and our family (mom, dad, two sisters and one brother)  moved to St. Charles when I was four. As a child I loved to read books, play with my Barbies and have tea parties. Hmmm I still love to read, still play with Barbies and collect tea pots.

I am 55 years old and have had an interesting life which, thankfully, continues to get better.  I'm married to a wonderful, very supportive guy and have two grown daughters and one granddaughter. I value my time with my family and try hold them above everything else.

I've had a lot of different jobs in my life. I always felt life was like a buffet and I had to try a little of everything. I've worked in an office, been a typesetter, am a veteran from the U.S. Navy, owned a Jazzercize franchise, been a massage therapist, and a truck driver (yeah, a big rig). I'm retired now due to some health problems but that doesn't keep me down. I have to stay busy.

I sold a dog trailer on e-bay for my husband (the current one) a while back and found it was so much fun. After I retired I really needed something to do. I've been working since I was 12 and just can't sit still. My hobbies and friends kept me busy but I needed something more. I needed to have my own money. So I held a garage sale and afterwards I listed some of the things that didn't sell on e-bay. That was so much fun I had to keep doing it.

But, where do I get all the stuff? I started my search for more stuff with yard sales and garage sales. Well, I live in a very small town so I wasn't finding enough items or the kind of items I wanted. I thought I would try some auctions. I had so much fun at my first auction! Of course I sometimes wasn't sure I had the bid and would just keep raising my hand. The auctioneer was having a very good time with me and would laugh and say "you've got it" "you already have it." I didn't catch on until he finally let me outbid myself....once. Lesson learned. Now, most of my items come from auctions and estate sales. I have met so many nice people and just have a ball.

I currently sell vintage jewelry items but  I also pick up other items of interest to me or if I think someone else might like it. I'm not into junk so I try to only buy items that are nice and clean. 

I hope you find something you like on my site. I try very hard to give good customer service as I think this is more than 50% of the sale and key to keeping good customers. If there is something you need or would like for me to do, just ask. I will try to accommodate where I can and if I can't, well, the most I can say is no. I hope you enjoy looking at and bidding on my items. Come and visit my store, Georgia-Vintiques, often...there's always something new. By the way, my store is named for my grandmother, not the state.
