Reality

For those of you that don't know I have a full time job working as an office manager. When the economy collapsed a couple of years ago our company was hit pretty hard. We live in Florida and build screens over pools and so we were one of the first industries to be hit. I am a fairly introverted person and in our company back then I was able to sit behind the scenes and take care of the books, insurance and licensing stuff, never really having to deal with the public. We had a girl working for us who answered the phones, set the appointments for the estimators and dealt with the "public". 

Well since then we have had to downsize and I am now doing the job I did plus the job of the girl we had dealing with the "public". I have to answer the phones which at first I was horrified at the thought of it. I am now definitely getting a little better and more comfortable with it. People are pretty nice for the most part. Every now and then I will get one that after I hang up my blood will be boiling and my hands shaking but that happens very rare.

 I have been doing this new adventure of selling mostly vintage treasures for about 3 months now and I am enjoying it very much. I shoot my photos, and in the evening while I am watching television I will add the items to the different sites I am selling on,
 Ebay, Etsy, KathysVintageCorner.blogspot.com and every now and then Tophatter auction site.
 My hearts desire would be to be outside shooting pictures or trying my hand at gardening, but in this awful Florida heat and the bugs it almost impossible to grow anything . I have tried several times and have produced minimal food. I would like to be successful one of theses times and eat a nice home grown tomato. To anyone who has never eaten one there is nothing like it. It makes the ones from the store taste like wax.

The reality is I have to work in the office everyday from 9-5. Maybe someday I will sell enough on the auction sites to be doing it full time and we can get a girl to replace me and she can deal with the "public" and I will have more time for selling and& for shooting photos.

 I have to take the time and add more items to the different selling sites. If you are interested in collector plates I have many in my store. Mostly Walt Disney plates for the Disney Collector. I also have just about every Walt Disney Movie Lithographs for sale if you are a collector of Disney Lithographs. There is vintage china, cups, dishes, tea sets and depression glass. Some vintage purses and jewelry. There are also lots of resin retired Boyds bears and I am getting ready to add real teddy bears. The Norman Rockwell collector would love the collector plates.    

  Just an idea of some of the things I am selling if you check my store and other avenues of selling. Thanks for visiting my site.
