Hi ! Welcome to my site !

I have been collecting religious medals for about 25 years. About 2 years ago , I came across the most beautiful Our Lady of Fatima relic medals I had ever seen ! They were exquisite ! I immediately purchased a bunch of them, and just held on to them. I had bought items on ebay before, and always had great expeiences with my purchases. One day, i just got the idea to list a few of my medals on ebay and well, as they say, the rest history! 

Our Lord always has a plan for us , and this is the path he has chosen for me and I love it ! I was a hairdresser for years, then a chef, and though i loved both of those jobs,nothing ever gave me the joy and satisfaction like selling these blessed items on ebay.I have met so many marvelous people on ebay ! Nothing makes me feel better than having having a saint medal or medal of Jesus or Our Lady that an ebayer has been searching for, and they tell me how happy they are to have  to have found it.

As Catholics, saint medals ,crucifixes ,Jesus medals and Marian title medals  help us to enrich and increase our faith . I find no greater comfort when saying the rosary or chaplet of the Divine Mercy ,than holding a medal of jesus in my hand and look at and adore his Holy Face.

Now for a little about me. I am an avid collector of religious items and anything with grapes or fruit on it ! My kitchen is done up in a grape/ fruit theme, so i am always on the look out for unusual platters or pitchers with grapes and fruit on them.

As my ebay user id suggests, i love to cook (and eat! mangia is italian for eat !). My specialties are  italian dishes. I also love to grow my vegetable garden in the spring and summer. I am also an avid home canner - i can my own tomatoes, hot peppers, jelly , etc.Every fall , my husband and I  hunt for wild  mushrooms. We just love them ! It is so much fun to go out on a  crisp, fall morning, walking in the woods and finding  those treasures ! My husband's grandfather taught him what varieties are edible. They are so delicious. See, I told you i love to cook and eat !!

 I have been married to my highschool sweetheart for 28 years.  My husband is a superintendant for an asphalt paving company. He has been in that line of work for over 30 years. We live in southern New Jersey , about halfway betweenPhiladelphia and Atlantic City. We both come from large and loving italian families.God has blessed us greatly.

God bless you and thanks so much for visiting my site. May the glory of God , and the prayers of Our Lady and the communion of saints comfort you always.
