BLACK & WHITE BEADED & FEATHERS BAG!! Great Gift!

This is a "gotta have it" Bag!!!  This is a NEW Bag

Amazing Black and white beaded bag, beaded straps, black feathered trim and white silk lining. Beautiful design in the bead work.

8 x 8" by ERMO  It is so pretty!!!  (Goes for $125 in the stores)

Great for a gift for that special someone!

TIP*Do Not store leather or fur items (jackets, purses) in plastic. Keep in separate cloth bags (pillow case, etc.) to prolong life. Same with dolls.

If you happen to get ink stains on anything, first try Billy Mays (we miss you!) OxyClean or plain rubbing alcohol. (On leather, go very easy but a little light rubbing will usually remove it-test it first).

I have added a few things for the Holiday Season that I don’t usually carry such as clothes, hats and Christmas decorations. Take a look!

·    My grading system – If it’s new, I will say NEW, with or without tags

·    Excellent condition – Means “like new” condition

·    Very Good or Nice condition, again everything is great on the item.

·    Good condition usually applies to vintage items that may have a reasonable amount of usage (since it’s an older item) but still a decent item.

·    If there are cracks, rips, chips, wearing anywhere on any item, I will say so and try to include pictures. However besides this flaw, it may still be in Very good or good condition. So please read description carefully.

·    I switch back and forth from Excellent to Very Good out of boredom. If you have a better grading system, let me know. Maybe a number system?

**I know you don’t want to think about it but the holidays will be here before you know it. Think about the gift you should take to someone going through all the effort of making Thanksgiving dinner. Maybe a nice tray, basket or decorative candle (unless they have pets, not a good idea). Christmas shopping (groan) - Get a jump start.  Buy something entirely different for someone that they just wouldn’t expect from you! That quirky relative or the one living in the past, that you never know what to buy them-buy some old 45 records (if they have a player), a vintage piece of jewelry, clothing or just something odd to fit their personality (there is certainly lots to choose from). Try to stay with only a few Sellers and save on shipping.  For your Moms and Dads, instead of struggling to find the one perfect gift,  try giving them a stocking or basket filled with little things you know they’ll love. The unexpected guests that happen to show up, keep on hand some trinket boxes, something from another country or perhaps some little doo-dad you think is cute. Try giving a unique Christmas item that they’ll treasure for years to come. The best part is you don’t have to fight the crowds at the mall!

For Your Lovely Children-The little ones are fun and easy to shop for! The teenagers????The ones that are bored with life (HA) Fill a basket with all the little things that are easy because you know the stuff they need and want. Start giving them either a Christmas item (ornament of some kind) or start your own tradition of something you can buy for them (or maybe you already own it) each year so that they can pass it on to their children. For the big things, there are many eBay stores that will give gift certificates. If not, make your own for a certain amount and let them pick out their own gift on Christmas morning. For the computer inclined, there are lots of great techy and game and book stores. For the jock, the possibilities are endless. Into cars, clothes, the same. And for your daughters, whom everything you buy for her brings a heavy sigh and an “eeewww”, let her go crazy with girly sites, She’ll think you’re the Coolest, EVER! If they’re in college, find a couple of stores close by to school that they like, and get gift certificates. It’s not as much fun for us parents to give gift certificates but today’s kids want to pick out their own things and I guess it’s better than the blank stare you get and the “Um, thanks”. No matter what the age, everyone gets excited on Christmas morning. It’s a joyous time for many reasons. Don’t forget to stop and count your blessings, one being the wonderful children you do have.

AND GUYS-this is for you! We know how you struggle with gift giving. It doesn’t have to be extravagant, just put a little thought behind it. Mom’s deserve something-think about the things she likes to collect (just look at her shelves) or that handbag she’s been carrying around for 20 years, replace it. Or go for something entirely “not her”. Is she “earthy”, try a new gardening tool or organic lotions. Books are always a good gift. Does she just love “girly” things-try looking under Beauty, trinkets, jewelry, etc. ASK her about her childhood, what are her fondest memories? Her favorite doll or plaything? (Plus you’ll learn just a little more about her).  If you just don’t know, perfume is always good. For your wives and girlfriends-Think back to when you were first dating, what kind of things really made her smile? A favorite book, something from a place you’ve traveled to together. It’s just one day and she deserves something just for getting through the holidays. Or just buy her something because it’s Tuesday. This is not a criticism of men by any means, just some helpful hints.  In fact, you guys work very hard and you deserve something thoughtful too. We see you looking through that car, fishing, golf, travel magazine. Ladies, pay attention, let’s not buy something we want him to have, let’s buy something he wants to have.  Unless he’s really into fashion, men don’t care about clothes. Or give him the old “if you had money to spend on yourself”, what would you buy? Other than the Corvette or Big Screen TV, he might just tell you something you don’t know about him, something that he’s always wanted to have . Or take him shopping in the mall one day. What are the things that he stops to look at?  And it seems everyone has a hobby or a collection of some kind, add to it!

AND FINALLY-For Animal Lovers-If you can’t figure out what to buy for the human, buy for their pets! We love to pamper our “babies” and they’ll love that you do too.  There are so many things to choose from. Even try a combination basket for both the person and their pet. (Unless they have a very small dog and they actually need it for warmth, please do not buy clothes for animals). If you know without a doubt that they’d love it and provide a loving and caring home, the shelters are overflowing this time of year.  Pick an older cat or dog-they are always harder to place and have already developed a nice personality.  You also don’t have to go through the chewing/clawing, house breaking routine. Kittens and puppies go quick. Just make sure you go to a reputable place. One that has treated and cared well for the animals. It’s easy to find out. Check them out online or ask around. Make sure you get their health history .  Or just treat yourself this year to a new member of the family. MEOW!

There are a gazillion places to shop on eBay so start looking now. You never know, you just might find that perfect gift!

To make things a little easier through the holidays , I will have a return policy.  If it states no returns, just ask.

Please  ask all questions before bidding - refunds at my discretion. If I have not described the item accurately , then you will receive a refund. Please contact me instead of eBay.

 If you happen to know additional information on an item that I’ve listed, please share. I love to hear from you and learn all I can about these items. It is because of you that I am able to spot more items when I’m out hunting for these treasures. I have heard from a lot of knowledgeable people and I really do appreciate it.

Payment to be received within 7 days after closing of auction. Please try to adhere to this.  If you’ve run into a problem, let me know immediately so we can work something out.  I am not interested in leaving bad feedback for anyone and would hope you’ll extend the same courtesy. I would like to resolve any problems that arise. I want you happy with your items. If I do not hear from you within 14 days, item will be relisted.  I'm easy to work with,   just keep in touch please.  I strive for  5 star service.  If you’re happy with your item, please leave a 5 star rating. This affects me as directly as a Seller. As I said, shipping rates are what the Postal Service charge. You may think that 4.8 is a good score but it’s really not in eBay’s rating system. This may seem like a lot of blah, blah, blah, but it’s really important to sellers.  If you have suggestions to make me a better Seller, please let me know.

*FYI-As of Oct 16^th, I started using online shipping (Yeah!) so now there will be a tracking number for each of you.  I ship the cheapest way possible. Sometimes Priority (2-5 days), sometimes Parcel Post (2-10).  These are approximate time frames set by USPS. Sometimes it takes longer.  Also if there is a delay in getting your items, please look at the date sent, not the date received.  I ship out the next if not the same day as paid. The delay is in the postal delivery. However, please let me know if it’s over 2 weeks. I keep a list for the Postal Service. Shipping costs are outrageous and can’t be helped. Again, I charge what the Post Office charges me. (In fact, I don’t think that should even be one of the stars, nobody’s happy with the shipping costs!)  There is a discount on shipping for most multiple items. (It really depends on the weight). Some items, due to the fragility of them, will have to be sent separately.

I go to the Post Office every day except Saturday. If you do not receive your items in a reasonable time period, please contact me immediately so I can follow up with the Post Office.

No International shipping for the most part. Case- by-case basis. Must have good feedback. Please ask.

I try really hard to list a variety of quality items for every taste. If you have questions or requests, let me know. I spend many, many hours looking and searching for unique items.

Take a look at my other items and keep checking back.  

Thanks so much for looking!

*And a special note to all of you repeat customers. Thank you so much for coming back! And to all of you buyers sending me little notes after receiving your items, I appreciate it. I enjoy hearing from all of you! In all honesty, it’s what makes selling fun!
