Rhinestone Pepper- Starting of the Collection

I had those few pieces of vintage jewelry from my Mom and I just loved them. I had recently been divorced and had the age of 50 coming closer every year and I thought..."I deserve a present, a really nice present!!!" So I jumped head first into the "Ebay World". My ex had used Ebay to bid on coins yet I never really understood why he seemed to spend hours locked up with his head in his computer online in Ebay. Now I clearly understand the attraction. I admit I'm an Ebay Addict. I'm not proud of it yet I don't regret any of the pieces of jewelry that I've won.

Here I am 711 buys later on Ebay. Now part of that is also for the vintage purses, eyeglasses, perfume bottles and children's china sets that I collect. Mostly though it's jewelry. I can't seem to get enough of it. I can always justify why I must have that great piece of vintage jewelry. The definite upside is the value of my collection has tripled or more since I started it. It really has been a great investment. But life is short and you never know what it has in store for you. It's a passion and makes me happy. Rhinestones bring out the best in me. What could be better???
