First of all...I want to THANK YOU for taking the time to view my items!
I earned my first antique side table by doing chores for the man who owned it when I was 10 or 11 years old. I've always loved antiques & old things...many of which now don titles of Cottage or Shabby Chic...to me they are 'Welcome Home'!
I started out selling in antique shops and have been selling on eBay and other sites for about 9 years now. I must say that there are a lot of interesting people out there...some meanies, but most have been great! I really do enjoy buying and selling interesting items.
My home is filled sights & scents that are inviting & calming to me. Friends & family comment on how comfortable they feel here.
The items I sell change all of the time, yet being drawn to vintage pieces, chipped paint, and neat old things...that's mainly what you'll find in my shop. To help people find the style of items they may be searching for, I will add keywords like 'Shabby~Cottage~Beach~Victorian~Country'...but it's all really just cool old stuff to me. I hope to offer unique items that help you to express yourself as only you can...no matter what style suits you as a 'Welcome Home'
***One Of A Kind Jewelry By Nomadic Morgay***
My attention was captured by something glistening on a tree in the park. As I grew near I could see it was a cloth sign which read "Merry Meet" and the sparkling objects were mostly necklaces tied to it. On a patchwork blanket next to the tree was an interesting woman who introduced herself to me as the nomadic Goddess Morgay. She patted the blanket and asked my name. So, I sat down and we talked for quite awhile. Among many other things, she told me she travels on foot, hitchhikes, and will sometimes buy a bus ticket to go where ever she feels she needs or wants to be. Sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. She told me that the beads and other pieces she uses to make her jewelry come from found items, trades, old clothes, purses, and old broken jewelry people give her. Nothing is wasted, even her blanket was stitched from old fabrics. She said we choose our own path, her choice is personal freedom and mobility. Never lonely, never bored, and she always gives thanks to God and Goddess for their blessings which include her inspiration. Through her jewelry sales and trades she is able to sustain her lifestyle and seems very happy. I didn't have a watch, but I think we talked for about two hours. It seemed odd to me that during that time no one else stopped to check out her wares. I didn't have tons of cash on me, but I spent every dime I had. She asked if I had any items of interest in my bag? I said just the usual I guess? She asked if she could take a look? I didn't have anything weird in my bag, so I figured why not and dumped the contents out onto the blanket. A small hairbrush, chapstick, reading glasses, tweezers, a small sewing kit and other random things that I took for granted seemed like treasures to her. Next thing I knew I was trading items from my bag for beautiful and interesting jewelry. I told her I wanted to keep some of the pieces for myself, and asked if she cared if I re-sold the rest? She said it was mine to do with what ever I pleased. I told her that if her pieces sold well I wanted to share the profit with her and ask if she would be there next week. She said she didn't know whether or not she would be back. I wrote down my phone number and asked her to call me before traveling on. She took the paper, smiled, hugged me and said "Blessed Be". I thanked her and left.
While you can clearly see that plenty of time, creativity, and love went into these unique pieces...they are not factory made, and not in brand new condition. Some of the materials are very old if not vintage. Please look at the pictures carefully and feel free to ask any questions you may have.
TIME & TIMELESS TREASURES
Most of our lives are very full so we try to spend our time & money wisely. I realize that you have tons of choices on-line, and do hope I'm offering something you would like to make your own or give as a gift. If not, good luck with your search for that something special...I'm sure it's out there somewhere! I do hope you'll stop back by to see future treasures I have to offer!
Please remember that unless otherwise stated most items I sell are previously loved if not vintage, so 100% perfection is rare and should not be expected unless stated in the description. I do give as much detail as my eyes and brain can muster, and will not purposely leave out an important detail. I try to be honest & forthright, but being human I am capable of mistakes. My item pages are loaded with information, but if I've missed something or you simply have questions please feel free to either email me or use the 'Ask Seller A Question' link to contact me. I will get back to you as soon as I read your message.
I HAVE A DREAM...DON'T SHOOT ME!
I wish I could flit about like Tinkerbell and sprinkle Love Dust (instead of Pixy Dust) all over the world. There would be pinches of kindness, understanding, & zest for life mixed in. Though I've often been told I'm too analytical, as well as too optimistic, I just can't come to terms with all of the horrible things people say & do to each other...the worst of which ends up in the news everyday. Too much turmoil in my personal life zaps my energy sending me straight to bed. Hopefully, as I nap the situation will mellow enough to be rationally discussed or dealt with. I know the world will never be filled with enough Peace, Love, & Harmony...but maybe if we all took a little time to calm down and tried to be more loving and understanding instead of angry, jealous, narrow minded, & vindictive...our world could be a better place. No, I'm not stoned. I would simply like to see mankind taking strides to spiral up instead of down. If we all try just a little harder we can make a difference! United we stand...right?
