About Me

I am an Original, Unique and Creative Mid-Century Modern Girl. First and formost, I’m an optimist. I work at removing the negative and increasing the positive in whatever I do.
I was born in Canada during the 50s. Over the years I have traveled all over North America. While living in the City of Angels I worked in the Interior Design Industry. Now I’m a stay at home mom of a Tween girl. I love HGTV and have redecorated my own home on a budget, including knocking down walls myself. All of the tools in the garage belong to me.I'm a serious Shop-a-holic. For many years, friends and family used my creative shopping skills to furnish houses, add to collections, and track down all sorts of unusual items! I love the thrill of the hunt and will drop everything at the mere mention of an estate or garage sale.
Ebay has become my excuse to Shop. I love being able to help people find the treasures that remind them of childhood or just the right piece to complete a set of china or flatware. I believe knowledge is Power and Ebay also satisfies my constant quest for new information. During my 7 years of membership in the Ebay community, I have learned a great deal of information about the inner workings of the site, some HTML skills, how to host pictures and lots of information about the many unusual treasures I have sold. There is still so much to learn.
Okay, I admit it! I’m addicted to Ebay! Is there a support group out there in cyberspace? I love to share all my research links and information about the unusual and sometimes strange treasures I find. Ebay is a constently changing enviornment and I just love the challenges. So please stop in and visit me:

LeCreuset ~ Or Not?

Being an Honest seller can be tough. When you recycle history, many times you locate unmarked treasures. I'm not all caught up in the "consumer nation" idea that all good things must have a brand name...
