Back in the the 1970s I began buying merchandise, because I wanted to open a business.  I mostly bought dolls, but I also bought anything I just liked, loved, or thought would sell.  I planned to do this business after I retired, because I  probably would need more money than my retirement provided.  I am now retired and my house is falling down because I have so many treasuresl  When new friends come to my home they say I live in a museum. What fun I have had collecting; dolls, post cards, glass, ceramics, old books, stamps, vintage clothes, etc.,and etc.  What fun I am having rediscovering things as I look in closets, drawers, and boxes. I hope those wonderful people who take my treasures into their homes will love them as I have.

I have three children, four grandchildren and thirteen greatgrand children.  I taught school for thirtly two years at the elementary level and three years at the middle school.  I loved teaching and so I also tutored children with learning disabilities. I have really enjoyed children who are challenged.  It has been challenging and rewarding to me to see their joy when they learn something new.
