I have a collectibles booth in an indoor flea market, and recently I also decided to rent a jewelry display case.  In addition to current designer pieces, I have also found that many ladies are looking for vintage jewelry. This is a lovely vintage necklace, with ice blue rhinestones. It most likely is a 50s necklace.  It is a length of 14 1/2", and I am constantly amazed at how t...

If you have been watching the news the last several days then you may know that the West coast has been hit with some pretty bad snow. Portland in general in the last week has received 11.5 inches of snow and still falling. This is not something that we are prepared for or even used to. Because of the bad weather, it has made driving unbearable even for those that have chains and four wheel dri...

Coming from a family that has almost as many musicians as it does entrepreneurs, means that naturally I have a strong interest in music and instruments.  My father was an avid collector of guitars but not for the value they could bring dollar-wise, but the value they could bring musically.  He frequently played his guitars at family gatherings and cared for them as though they were al...

   Wow! is all I can say about this kitchen! I found this at costco and knew we had to have it, we have 4 other kitchens but we love them dearly and play with them all. The hours of fun spent playing together, mommy and child is priceless.  There is nothing more that I love to see then the look on my child's face when he is cooking something up for me.   This is qui...

This guitar was my first electric guitar. It is a low end Strat copy. This is a great electric guitar for beginners as it is fairly cheap and is a good introduction to what an electric guitar is all about. It has a decent sound for a low end guitar, very much like a strat but with less output and overall tone. One thing I noticed was that the finish is actually quite good on this guit...

I was shopping on Ebay again and ran across this very unique vintage dutch boy cast iron bank.  It was used for advertising for the Dutch Boy Paints as listed in the auction.  All that mattered to me was it was a dutch boy and I could use it as a unique bank for saving paper money for our Disney trips.  Why no coins?  Well, this little guy weighs 6 lbs before any money is ev...

 This is a great fragrance. The price is a very good value. This is a beautiful scent and very affordable. I like this because I save my more exspensive perfumes for special occasions.

The Vintage VS6 is a fantastic deal! This guitar clones the famous Gibson SG. The quality is fantastic, much better than other SG copies on the market. It is made with high grade Wilkinson parts. Is it desirable? Yeah it is, both the black and cherry red finishes look great. This guitar features a Mahogany set neck, and a solid Mahogany body. Also trapazoid inlays in the rosewood fretboard. The...

I remember from my childhood days that we had a pair of these chairs in our backyard and have always wanted a set for my yard.A few years ago I was garage sale hunting on my lunch hour when I happened upon these retro looking vintage metal chairs.  They were in excellent condition with only one coat of paint of them and very little rust.I immediately sat in them so no one else could claim ...

This is a terrific guitar cord!  I noticed that I was having some static one day when I was playing my guitar, so I decided to go and buy a new guitar cord to hopefully fix my problem.  The man referred this one to me.  It came in 10 foot lengths and 18 foot lengths.  The 18 foot lengths were only about $2 or so more so I decided to go with that.  I went back home, plug...

My daughter has always been very fascinated with vending machines and that includes gumball machines. I remember when she was a little girl, she would ask coins from us just so she could use it in the gumball machines. Sometimes, it was not the content at all because she did not even eat the candies. She just loves the way these gumball works when you put a coin in and twist the knob to get you...

This scrabble game was given to me as a gift after my deluxe scrabble set was destroyed by the flood waters of Huricane Katrina.  It is a neat game, and it is part of a collection of other "library" games.  Just like the other "library" games, the storage case for the Library Scrabble Game Set is made to look like a library book.  Inside this wooden "book...

The moment I put on these jeans, I knew that me and them were going to be inseperable. It can go with anything. Working, just causual or wear something fancy along with them. It isn't that well-known but will or should be. Best jeans and very cheap compared to the other brands. I use to wear either Aeropostal, American Eagle, or Levi's. Even sometimes I'd recieve the occasional two ...

One of my favorite teddy bears in my teddy bear collection is this bedtime bear.  It reflects my own personality, and the comfort I enjoy.  This bear is like me right down to the bunny slippers.  I love animal slippers for their comfort and warmth.   I am a hard working writer, but most of this work is done from the comfort of my bedroom.  I spend most of my time in my ...

I have recently discovered a way to "cheat" at having nice looking nails without a lot of hard work.While shopping at our favorite store a few months back I was in the nail care section picking out some polish my eyes kept wandering to the artificial nail section. They have really come a long way with these!What I like is they are so natural looking now, and you can chose any color, s...

If you've read any of my reviews, then you know that I am a romantic. My house is decorated in a romantic Victorian style, and I have a collectibles booth where I sell items that are girly and romantic. I love hand painted items, and I have quite a few hand painted signs in my home. One of my favorites is this sign with the words, "Sweet Dreams My Love" surrounded by blue hyd...

I received this book as a gift from a friend. I have to say it is different. It's a novel written in the voice of an Autistic teen-ager. It's a murder mystery (a dog murder actually), an end-of-innocence story,  a love affair gone bad story and a comedy all wrapped up into one. It's touching and compelling too. Easy reading and a hard to put down book. It won't take long to...
