I live in a far western suburb of Chicago, Illinois, and up until last December, I worked the Ebay Business with my long-time life partner, also named Mike.  Mike passed away on December 11th, 2008, so I now work this business on my own.  I am 51 years old, but usually feel about 30!  My birthday is August 10th, and I'm a Leo, if you are curious about my Horoscope.  I am into American History, Polish History, Dance and Disco Music from the 70's, 80's, and 90's, hiking, reading, and working out in my flower gardens.  I personally collect Fine Porcelain Figurines, Vintage Spill Vases, and gold trimmed Rosepoint Serving Pieces, along with any type of unusual Dragon Item I can locate at a good price.

I currently only have 1 pet, a cat named Max.  I would love to have a dog, having grown up with 1 in the house constantly, but right now, I don't have the time and/or energy to become involved with a puppy/dog.  I live in a town outside Chicago which is known for having an extremely high concentration of local Forest Preserves, so I'm constantly surrounded by Nature and her beauty.  Four forest preserves are in easy driving or walking distance from home, and when the weather cooperates you can find me at one or more every day.

I'm always looking ahead and planning for the future!  I'm always looking for great, interesting and sometimes valuable Vintage items to collect and to find new homes for.  I enjoy the hunt, the finding, the excitement, the handling of an old treasure, the history, and the entire process of cleaning, identifying, and eventual describing and selling on ebay of the many wonderful items I find.  Take a look!  I'm sure you'll find something to catch your own Eye and Excite Your Mind!
