My name is Marilyn and I am a Wife for almost 40 yrs. Mother of 4 and Grandmother of 7. I started getting involved with e-bay with my Daughter Julie who had a store. I was responsible for sorting, cleaning and general fixing of Barbie's their hair,clothing etc. I found out that I really enjoyed finding something new to me or being able to clean and save a beautiful gown from being thrown out. So as the business grew Julie was busy with her own family and her battle with fibromyalsia I decided to open my own store and have been busy with it ever since. Most of the items I sell are given to me. I do buy some from e-bay but I find better items from friends, neighbors and family. I will be listing other items in the future. I have very nice friends and relatives that donate what they don't want to me to help with medical expenses for my family.                                       BARBIE ITEMS All Barbie clothes that I sell have been washed and pressed by me when need or unless they are new. I do a TLC lot for clothes that need repair or have a spot or strain on the top or the bottom. All accessories and shoes have been cleaned when needed.  All dolls are cleaned by me and hair brushed when needed.  Some are sold in my store. Most are sold in bulk. Clearance Sale for dolls that are missing a ring or earrings or have a faded spot or just need their hair brushed. TLC lot for dolls with stains, need major hair work, have bites chews etc.  These dolls are good for parts and some for rebirth. All auction items are just extra inventory that I do not have the time to list.  Not junk I am trying to get rid of that all gets thrown out as I don't want to pass it along to anyone else.                           UPDATE ON THE FAMILY  May 2009 My Mother who had mouth cancer is doing well. My Brother who has non hodgekins lymphoma is in remission. My son-in-law lost his battle with cancer May 1st 2008 he was 41 years old and leaves 4 children ages 17 to 3 yrs. old. My Granddaughter Lia  was diagnosed with Infantile Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia at 6 weeks of age in Sept. 2007.  She had a bone marrow transplant in January 2008.  She is 19 months old now is into everything walking and starting to talk. No signs of any problems from all of the medication she was on. The link below is to her website. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/liadamon A special thank you to all that have supported me through my son-in-law’s and Granddaughter’s illnesses. You have given me strength when I thought I had no more and kept me going.                       STORE INFORMATION My store is designed to be customer friendly. You may shop as long as you like. I like people to take their time and get what they want and not be rushed. Just send me a message and let me know that you are looking or bidding on an auction. I try to keep all shipping costs low and combine shipping whenever I can. I ship 2 times a week sometimes more so you should get your item fairly quickly  I leave feedback when I mail the item off. I am very proud of my feedback and the fact that I have never left any neutral or negative feedback. If there is any problem with anything you order please contact me I will work out a solution. I will leave a 14 day limit on non-payment as I understand that emergencies happen and things can be forgotten. I think that is a fair amount of time. If that happens I will make a decision on how I will handle it and might have to make a change in the way I deal with non-payment. Thanks to all that made it possible for me to have this store and keep it open.
