Gabby Girl - RIP - 7/6/08 - Always in my heart. . . . . .

I have been on Ebay for several years now.  When I first joined, I bought all sorts of items for my children (whom are now all teenagers) and myself.  What great deals you can find here!  Not to mention how addicting getting those fantastic bargains is.  I always admired the sellers I dealt with and thought it must be very difficult to be a seller, well that was up until a couple of years ago. . . . . Thats when I started selling myself.  It was tricky at first, but I'm finally getting the hang of it.  I honestly don't know which I enjoy more, buying or selling.  I used to have hopes of having a little antique/collectible shop, but those faded after I had my children.  I have collected all types of items over the year and always enjoyed it.  Of course, having kids, gives you less time to dust all those items.  I've sold some of my collections, but continue to add to some I can't part with (yet)! 

I have started to collect colored glass pieces, from Blenko, Murano, Italian and other pieces - this is highly addictive.  Part of my collection can be seen on the Blenko Collectors site. I love finding treasures at auctions and estate, yard and garage sales.  I've also become quite popular for my yard sales during the nice weather and have many repeat customers. 

I have retired from being a foster mom for rescued German Shepherds, when my last foster lost her life to a careless mistake by a transport coordinator.  They say dogs leave pawprints on your heart and sometimes it takes time to mend those that have been broken.  In time, my heart will recover and I will join another rescue and help more dogs in need.
