ROSES 28 WITH A PURPOSE OR TWO OR THREE

NO RHYMES, JUST REASONS

Hello, Welcome to Wears and Wares, the bargain store owned and operated by Roses28, the classiest bargain bag lady in the state of Virginia! Many of my Ebay items are designer patterns and clothes because I know a bit about clothing construction (Mom was always a wonderful seamstress. Uncle was a great tailor). I really enjoy uncovering bargains, so I shop in thrift stores and consignment shops for brand name, quality, and well-constructed clothing. As time goes on, my bargain-shopping skills have become more fine-tuned, so today, you will also find a lot of non-clothing items listed in my store. I also use my three growing boys as a practical excuse to bargain shop anywhere. So you see, there's a reason or at least, two, and now three more reasons to bargain shop. Welcome to my store and have fun I certainly am!

SO, WHO IS THIS WOMAN?

When I am not at the local community college teaching corporate professionals how to engage in progressive relaxation, evaluate performance, or to speak in grammatically correct sentences, I am busy raising three boys. I have a 9-year old biological son, 2 adopted sons: a 7 year old and a 4 year old. I'm a single mom at the moment, and use the profits from Ebay to stay at home making real, not frozen meals, teaching the boys to read, write, speak, and sing. It also allows me to continue shopping for bargains. Even though it's a lot of work, Ebay helps me to remain stress-free and pleasant most of the time (excluding hormonal moments). It would be a great sales tactic to say that your satisfaction is guaranteed, but knowing what I know about some people, I will just say that I never intentionally hide a flaw on any item, and that I do believe that any problem can be resolved in a reasonable, civil manner. In essence, I am just about loving God, loving my sons, and enjoying my life. Thanks for reading my About Me page.
