Gearing Up For the Summer Selling Season 2012



Here is a picture of one of my favorite vintage pieces a blue Sapphire Juliana Brooch. Currently for sale in my Etsy shop. See link to my home page below to view more of my jewelry items for sale as well as this item. The color of the Sapphire is a deep intense blue. Sapphire is the Birthstone for the month of September. I am spending my time gearing up for the coming fall and winter selling season. I usually spend more time in the summer stocking up, and clearing out old inventory, and any other changes that occur during the year. Usually after the kids go back to school, and vacations are over etc;, people start buying again. Please visit some of my friends shops and blogs as well. Just click on the links. Thats all folks!!

Picture Of My Favorite Shirley Temple Doll


This is one of my very favorite Shirley Temple Dolls. She is quite rare in the 25 in size. A Composition Ideal Doll from the 1930s. I inherited most of my dolls from my mother. But, many I have since collected myself to carry on the tradition. When I was younger I didn't care for dolls, and neither did my 2 sisters. She was worried what would happen to her collection after she was gone. So, I do this partly to remember her, and to honor her. Now I love collecting them too.

Hello. I live in Nothern Calif in the Gold Country. How fitting as I sell vintage jewelry, gold, silver, gemstones, and all sparklies. I sell at 2 auction venues, and belong to The VJSE Team On Etsy. We are dedicated to teaching the collectibility, education, and value of vintage jewelry. I first began selling at online auctions on Ebay in 1998 after becoming disabled from a tic bite which caused me to contract Lymes Dx. Before that I worked as a registered nurse for 15 years. I loved my job, but now I am very happy selling Vintage Jewelry. It is a labor of love for me, and I guess you could say I am addicted. I love to help others out if I can, and to hear about your expereinces as well. I am married and have 6 children, and 14 grandchildren,. Yes, I have been busy. All are grown now, and it is just myself and my husband living out in the country on 12 acres. We have many animals goats, chickens, Emus, cats, and my darling 3 chihuahuas. I was breeding them for awhile, but am to busy with other things now. I am also an avid doll collector and have over 500 antique to modern dolls in my collection. I love Shirley Temple dolls, and 1950s teen dolls. I also have MA Dolls of the World. I have one room n my house that is my doll room. Love to talk about dolls and jewelry any time. As you can see I have many varied interests, but my current main interest is VJSE and Etsy. It's exciting, and I'm happy to be a part of it. More to come later*****
