I named my store Craft'n Stuff because I love crafting and also wanted to sell other stuff.
I first discovered Ebay when I was looking for rubber stamps for my hobby of making greeting cards. Before I discovered rubber stamping, my hobby was photography but I burned out on preparing for competition every month, so I sold most of my photography equipment on ebay. I live in Southern California where there are several rubber stamp manufacturers and scrapbooking warehouses where I am able to buy at warehouse sales to sell on my Ebay store. I also have traveled to Bangkok where I bought a lot of embellishments that I sell at my store.
I discovered vintage postcards when I bought a lot of ephemera for embellishments that included the most beautiful postcards I've seen before, so I started collecting postcards and sell those that I don't keep.
When I go to estate sales my focus is usually on what I could find to use for scrapbooking, altered art or other crafts such as beads, buttons, lace and ribbons . I like to make cards that are not the same as everybody else's that's why I'd rather use vintage trims and laces than buy them from scrapbooking stores that a million others are also using and get excited when I find those one of a kind things. I love bargains and so I try to sell my items at the lowest possible price.
