Hi - It's Time for Tea, Glad You Stopped By




My name is Tery Weiss and I've been listing and buying on ebay since 1999 - which makes me something of an old timer. I have another life, believe it or not, which I'll tell you a bit about below; and at the very end of this opus, I have a few businessy things like my return policy.

But first, I'd like you to meet our Customer Service Department:




Our Motto: Working tirelessly to keep you happy.
Diligent workers are Muffin, working hard; Fergus, planning to work hard; Guthrie, subervising everyone else so they work hard.

When not listing on ebay, or buying on ebay (I buy about 75% of my cllothes and shoes and books and other tremendously cool things on ebay) I make art dolls, hook rugs, and make very strange clothing out of old clothes, neckties, felted sweaters, tapestries, and whatever else comes past my line of sight.
In a former life I was a serious vintage clothing collector. I wrote a book, published in 1987, The Consumer's Guide to Vintage Clothing by Terry McCormick (my then last name}. For about 10 years I published The Vintage Clothing Newsletter, which went all over the world and the U.S. and had about 800 subscribers. I also wrote a column for a magazine and had several articles published, including in Antique Trader. I've moved on to other things, but still have some of my clothes, hats, accessories and about 100 vintage hats left.
During my serious writing days, I also collected books on costume, many rare and out of print from England, and innumerable sewing books and vintage sewing patterns.
I have sold a lot of these materials over the last 10 years, but there is still plenty to go - so keep tuning in for more treasures!


When push comes to shove, I adore clothes - and shoes and hats and bags and costume jewelry (vintage and modern) - and I am always buying way too much, and then I sell some and then I buy more and then I sell some and then... Hey, it's way more fun than collecting stocks and bonds. I figure I'll be the best dressed lady in the poor house! I also collect old sewing machines, so occasionally you'll see things related to that.

Here are some photos of art dolls and rugs I've been making the last year or so. The rug is titled: "The Girls," pictures of my friend's chickens which I made for a housewarming present.
The dolls are - starting waaay back, at the top of the page, welcoming you: "Were You speaking to me?" (we have all known cats like this!) - "Genius" which is made with freeform crochet, vintage costume jewelry, beads, tassels, etc (I won the textile award at an art show with my Genius!)- A needle felted head - and some of the funky sock creatures I made using a book called "Stupid Sock Creatures." And a flat doll: "Excess is in the eye of the beholder."






Okay, time to get down and dirty. I don't make money from shipping and handling. If I have a postage amount in the listing, I'll stick to it; even if I estimated too low - that's my fault, not yours, and I have to pay for my own mistakes. I charge postage plus maybe 50to a dollar more just to cover myself if I estimated low.
Refunds: If I make a mistake in my listing, I am happy to refund your money and that includes shipping. However, I am not open to people who suffer bidder's regret. Most everyone on ebay has found him/herself in that particular pickle; and it's a learning experience. If you have any questions, email and ask. I'm currently paying double the postage I should on an auction, because I didn't check the postage before bidding. It's my mistake, I blew it, I'll pay for it and it'll be one heck of a long time before I make that mistake again! This goes both ways. At the same time, I'm a person too, so if you are having a problem paying within the time frame I allow; email and let me know and maybe we can work things out. The last thing to do is not communicate. I really don't read minds, so send an email and answer my emails and it'll be slick as a whistle! when all's said and done, what's important is that we treat each other well - we'll remember that long after we forget what it was we bought or sold.
