I live in rural Pennsylvania, enjoying the quiet life with my husband and some very lovely pugs. During my leisure time at home, I love reading, needlework and making jewelry.

I have been buying on eBay since 1999 and and selling since 2007. The things I have listed for sale reflect my own interest. I offer mostly books here at eBay, and the occasional needle-woven necklace or miniature dollhouse crochet. I especially love making dollhouse scaled patchwork afghans, delicate miniature shawls and filet crochet 1/12 scale bedspreads.

The books I list have all been rescued from thrift shops or Friends of Library sales. They are generally in very good condition, and all in need of a caring home. I can't pass up needlework books, mysteries, cookbooks, intelligent non-fiction and literature...and Stephen King, of course.

My selling policies are pretty straightforward. I accept payment with PayPal only and ship books with USPS Media Mail by the second business day after payment is received.

Shipping discounts for domestic USA buyers are available for most items: $1.50 for each additional book. Please note that multiple items must be paid for with a single invoice to qualify for the automatic discount.

(I have my own website that celebrates pugs in general--and needlework in particular--at www.pugcentricpursuits.com. I am especially proud of my pug photos, and a needlework blog, along with lots of retro crochet and cross stitch for the home and dollhouse. I'm adding lots of patterns and magazine back issues for knitters, crocheters, sewers, quilters and jewelry makers too...)
