Welcome I first joined the eBay community in December 1997. At first, I found it a great place to add to my stamp and vintage Christmas ornament collections. Then I discovered how easy and fun it is to sell. It gives me a great excuse to indulge my fondness for estate sales, auctions and the like, and to yak it up with people about their collecting passions! I really love it when a buyer is thrilled with a purchase, or collectors find something they have been hunting for! My specialties are vintage jewelry, vintage clothing and accessories. I was thrilled to participate in eBay's Voices One, the very first Voices group to visit eBay.)

I love living in the wonderful Pacific Northwest! The photo above was taken at Crater Lake National Park. My Website ~ Jazzle Dazzle I love all kinds of vintage jewelry, but I have a special affinity for the old Czech and Deco pieces -- particularly the glass and enamel. Other favorites include vintage European jewelry, copper enamel, whimsical themes (such as the 1940's Elzac ceramic and lucite figurals or the more modern ceramic whimsy pieces from the Ruby Z / Candace Loheed lines). My collecting passions are reflected in my personal website, Jazzle Dazzle.

What I like to do when I'm not on eBay I grew up in Denver, Colorado, and have been living in the wonderful Pacific Northwest for years now. I have a grown son and two beautiful grandchildren. Other hobbies include local community theatre, piano/keyboards (including New Age/Jazz composition), cooking, gardening, reading, and travel. Not enough hours in the day!

Favorite Sites I am a member of JewelCollect, an online discussion forum for costume and vintage jewelry lovers. The "JC" initials help fellow members find my items more easily. And when I see "JC" in an auction title, that tells me the seller is apt to know about their item, care about their item, and accurately represent the item. The whimsical ceramic jewelry produced by Candace Loheed's Ruby Z and Parrot Pearls and rival company Flying Colors has become quite popular. There are so many wonderful themes and designs, and that type of variety is one characteristic that attracts me to a particular designer. Ann Pitman has written an article about this jewelry that was recently published in Antiquing Online. You can read it online! Click here.
