Jewelry Chatroom Board

HELLO EVERYONE.. Hope all had a Merry Christmas, and your Coming New Year the Happiest of all...

HI LIL Good seeing you stop in.. probably now one else will see it but you and me..
Take care.. Shelly

Just checking in.. had a few jewelry sales and now have a Vintage Perfume bottle listed, anxious to see how much it is valued at..
I see no one has stopped in Since August, where is every one going or spending their time.. Have not checked out Face Book to see if a jewelry site there.. I have a Set of Mexican Silver 3 pc set, I have listed but trying to find out more about, Contacted a big time auctioneer.. So that might be the deciding factor if I leave the listing as is or remove it..

Hoping to see other stop by one day, SURPRISE ME.. 🙄

Well its coming up on a month since I posted but I have been checking in.. Hoping to see some others.. I opened a new store on Ebay.. Shellys Boutique, its a trial run for 3 months, so plan on putting more jewelry on there.. I just wish there was someone I could ask questions of and get some answers to questions I have..
Like I have a Brooch with Swarovski Crystals, how much does it hurt the selling, if a stone or two are setting crooked in the hole/well they set in.. See I do not even know what they call that spot..
On the back of some stones, they have a foil backing, and some are solid like silver on the back, does that mean the piece is better quality? I have a pair of Green (looks like Swarovski) Triangle shaped stoned earrings that look like they have thin gold leaf on the back, does that tell you anything about the value, that it is better made or nothing at all?

Gee you would think I am going crazy here, talking to myself, just have hopes one day someone will stop in.. This will give them something to laugh about..
You all have a great week/month/year.. Shelly

HI LIL, we keep missing each other, I was out of comission awhile as AOL worked on my computer and I lost all my favorite places including these cites..

I have some gorgeour jewelry I picked up the last couple of months I am just so afraid to list them for fear people will see more then I see and will not be pleased. Besides most of it I have no idea if sterling or gold or just toned.. and Stones are they paste, glass or quality stones? I surely wish they had a class on Jewelry so we could learn.. I wonder if anyone local would be interested enough to help me learn..

Good seeing you check in, Hope sales are up for you.. makes you wonder with the bad weather the US is having how many people are without access to homes let alone ebay.. Can you even imagine having your home burned or flooded.. Mother Nature is just plain mean this year.. Luckily we have none of those terrible hazards in Pa. We might get a bad snow storm/blizzard but our home is still standing.. (thus far)..

Stay well.. Hello to anyone else peeking in..

Hello Joolies,

Just checking in.. Hope all are enjoying the summer.. We have had a long dry spell with grass turning brown, well running low, and praying for rain, we all need it, specially the Farmers crops..

HI LIL, Thank you for the Tips.. I know what your saying about the needle, and always cringed at the thought.. Its so hard to tell, what is real and what is not they have made the fakes so real looking.. Cannot always tell by the metal either..
I have a couple books on jewelry, but you know how one never tells or shows enough.. I sold one that I really got little use out of, it was mostly on the big jeweled pieces what they call it, Fruit Salad? Or something like that.. I picked up a couple pieces last week, a Tiffany Key, a Fossil Key, a Fossil Watch.. Picked up a Joan Rivers watch, but the band was broken.. No chance of repair..
How are your sales, making enough to pay the bills I hope.. I took a car load of misc. to auction yesterday, hoping to wind down and just have smaller items.. but I am drawn to the Gorgeous glass or Interesting Glass and Pottery too.. The Bubble wrap is what keeps me from selling more.. Bummer..

well must go check on the Glassies.. have been busy with house, family, and auction delivery this past week.. Good to see you on..

LIL you have more experience then I have, with Cameos how can you tell they are hand carved or even real.. Do I have to stick a needle into the backs of every one? Thanks

OH LIL know what you mean about pictures not doing them justice.. I did buy some of those black forms to display jewelry on, helps a little, my friend loaned me her White Box but she never used it and I hate to be the first to take it out of the box so I haven't used it either, but it might help my pictures.. Rings seem to be the worse to photograph.. I just bought a ring sizer, not that I have that many rings, but its nice not to guess at the size..

Good luck with your beautiful set.. Do you have it on Ruby St/Lane?

HI LIL, Good to see you, Off hand I can not think of what I was even looking for now.. But I keep saying I am going to start listing my jewelry and never seem to get around to it.. I appreciate your offer..

Been wondering about a few oldies that use to check in on the old board, but cannot remember all their names, know some have passed.. I remember Becca, she use to have her Father living with her and still taking care of her Mom, I think her Father passed then it was just her Mother, Believe she lived in Calif.. not sure she ever joined this board..
Remember there was a gal from England, someone got upset with her about something not sure what but always got along with her.. My goodness that must be 15 yrs ago.. 🙂

When we get old all we have are memories.. LOL Off to bed, the only way I get a good nights sleep is if I read a little while..

JUNE 1st and Summer has arrived finally..

Hope any lurkers will stop by and say hi.. and maybe visit, I wish I could send off a reminder to this link, IP address, so others might be able to look in in case they forgot it, but have not figured out how to do it for every one without doing it one name at a time.. I wish there was a multiple check box, where you just click one and they all are highlighted, but Curt says he is not sure there is a way..

So if you do get here and see this you know I was trying..
LEON use to be a regular but have not seen him in eons it seems so wondering how he and his wife are doing, and if his son has completely recovered from his accident.
LIL, JO, PAT, MEL, HELEN, DOREEN, TOM, and any others, that use to stop in, Wish we could get up and running again, but life is so busy for everyone it seems..
Hope all are well.. Shelly

HI LIL, I do not have a store but I keep selling on Ebay,
Found a pair of earrings the other day with a name I never heard of before.. TARA 1960s in NYC 5th Ave. I think since 1975 they are in California..

Sorry we keep missing each other.. Have a Good summer..

Goodness Gracious, No body else has checked in since, Jan. 1st.. I guess it looks pretty pathetic for only me checking in and wondering where every one is? Maybe its me?

Happy Valentines Day Everyone.. almost 6 weeks and no ones checked in.. Still looking for someone alive that has the old Jewelry sites, we use to have posted in the Treasury Chest.. Anyone know who has it, not sure why we did not get this post because the Glass board still has their links and Pottery Board theirs..
\

HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERY JOOLIE,

HI LIL, Hope you had a great Holiday week with loved ones, wishing you a Great New Year and lots of sales.. Shelly
Just you and me kid

HI LIL.. Yes Ebay has freebies sometimes but they still take their Final Value Fee.. I sold an item for my brother at 550.00 they took nearly 10% for FVF, and than I sold a 100.00 item for him and they took out 15.00.. So for sure besides Ebay and Pay Pal. they are gettting their monies worth from the sellers.
Yes thats what I figure I am making money and paying for it.. Just sold my De Jillo earrings for 41.00 this week, haven't checked yet to see what has been taken for fees.. No I do not have a store on ebay.. My Seller User ID is Shellyrae37

Good to see you or anyone stopping in, wish more would stop by.. Take care and if we do not cross paths before, have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and GREAT NEW YEAR.. Shelly

HI LIL good seeing you, well in fact good seeing anyone. LOL

I wish I could get into Ruby Lane.. Have up a pair of earrings right now that would probably do better on RL.. Hate the fees Ebay charges.. 10% plus Pay pal takes about 5%.. Do you know what RL fees are? Would they amount to more then 15.00 a month. I would like to go to strictly selling Jewelry after the holidays as it is smaller and would not clutter my house so bad.. My DH could probably tolerate it more..

I too try to do the best in describing Items, like you no returns the better I like it.. Think I had one this past year, boots were a childs size and lady thought they were youth sized.. Oh well.

Well If I do not see you all before Holidays I wish you all the Very Best. and Happy Sales.. Shelly

Happy Thanks Giving Everyone..

HI PAT, doesn't it seem like a pain in the neck to join Ruby Lane? and it seems like they make so many demands I guess it all depends on what you become accustomed to.. I just sold a pair of Mariam Haskell earrings for 9.99 because they were not pristine.. metal was corroded, etc.. So it would be something for someone with time and patience to work on.
But have a pair of De Lillos listed that are perfect, no bids.. but maybe too high for Ebay.. Know they sell for much more..

I know I just sold a gun stock for my brother and Ebay/Paypal took out about 16.00, I sold a scope for him, last month for 550.00 and they took out 61.00 and for my DH Harley coat at 325.00 they took out 42.00. I could have used that extra money.. Cannot imagine cut they get out of some Carnival glass that sells in the thousand dollar range.

Sorry I missed you, had a family funeral from cousin that passed at 38yrs old.. Sad.. and my son had Carotid artery surgery the same day cousin died.

Happy Holidays.. Including Thanksgiving, Christmas, & New Years.. or should I say Merry Holidays.

Happy Birthday DOREEN, Really wish you a happy one, hope you had a wonderful day doing something exciting, also really wish this board would get active again, Wondering if every one is on FB is there a jewelry board there? I wonder..

HI PAT, gosh only a day late from catching you.. I have had a few sales of this and that and yep jewelry isn't selling for sure, to much emphasis on Christmas now..
Good seeing you..

Does anyone have any good informational jewelry sites like designers Jewelry, and Costume jewelry? I am been trying to use goodle but half the time you do a search for something you just get more names with the question in it, like going around in circles.. All the other boards have a information site like we use to on the old one but no one seems to have any for the Jewelry board like we once had..

Just asking.. Thanks.. Shelly

That reminds me PAT I am having one heck of a time selling anything on Ebay as well. Might have something to do with Google & eBay having personality conflicts and Google did not want to advertise any of Ebays listings.

Thats why I am considering giving Etsy a try, and not waste my time on pictures to put on ebay and pay for them, and nothing in return.

JO do you have a copy of the old list of Jewelry web sites we use to have here, I am not sure which one of you girls use to post it or took turns it had a big Pirates Chest with jewels spilling out. Wondering who would have it? I see the Glass board nd the Pottery board has a link for theirs not sure why we do not have it..

HI JO Yes thats the name I was thinking of, wondering how they make those beads? this is a nice double long hanging necklace looks like it would be tied in a knot over a sweater but its not tied it was sort of woven in like that at the one spot the rest hangs loose.. Caught my eye right away the way the black and blue shines, reminds me of Carnival Glass..

Thank you, been thinking about starting a store on Etsy to sell my jewelry.. just in the thinking stage, You have to pay for a store there, I think, no idea how it works..

Good to see you stopping by.. Thanks.. Catch ya next time.. Shelly

Checking in to see if anyone found there way back.. Can Anyone here tell me what the blue/black beads are called, Dic something.. Just thought maybe someone might peek in besides me..

Might start selling jewelry on Etsy.. Wondering why we never had a link for all of the Jewelry sites, I know someone use to post one, with the Jewels spilling out of a treasure chest but forget who that was.. If anyone peeking in has it would appreciate that ling for all those web sites.. TIA.

Just checking in to see if anyone is reading the board..
The Webstore has been worthless since I bothered to open it.. No sales at all, my friend also started one, and same goes for her.. Live and learn huh? Had a few sales on Ebay, would list more if they hadn't given us so little Free ones..

Hot here how about there? We need some rain.. Our Cherry Festival is this week, Probably will rain on our Parade..

Everyone take care.. Hope all are doing well. Shelly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEON, wondered how you were doing, At Flea Markets, and how son is getting along,and if you and your sweetie are doing well..
Hope you have a great day..

Hello to Everyone else too..

OH PAT I missed you again, did not realize it had been so long since I checked in. My sales were really stagnate the last month or so, but this week, I am wondering if I have enough packing supplies.. and I have to stay off here to get them all packed. Amazing feast or famine.. This week we eat steaks. 😆 I do not sell on any of those places you mentioned, I did sign up for Webstore, as its all FREE, https://www.webstore.com/register.php
But really just got started, only listed 2 items to see how the listing and site works.. I should get some more up to give it a chance.. Nothing to lose by trying, they do not even ask for your bank numbers.. Thats a plus, and you can accept MO or any other way you want them to pay.

Wishing you better luck.. Maybe parents have more time now that the kids are out of school.. Not sure why, but a friend mentioned that.

catch ya next time..

HI JO Good to see you stopping by.. Often wonder what happened to BECCA, I think she was still taking care of her Mom, last time I heard, and her Father had past. ZOE for some reason left and never saw her again, maybe a personal dispute with someone I am not sure.. Noreen has not been here in a long time..Probably out trying to corrale those horses..
SUE must be off somewhere making more Mosaic tables.. She did such beautiful work.
So many gone, Wish they would surprise us and stop by...

I must be off to fix Brunch for DH before he loses anymore wgt.. He can go all day without eating.. Wishing I could do that, I can afford to lose wgt. he can't. 😆
Hope to catch a few more here next time I stop by.. Shelly

Happy Birthday Infamousyeti.. Come out and show yourself.. I apologize I do not remember you.. unless a new ID.. but would welcome you to stop in anytime, maybe one day this board will get active again.. I do hope you have a wonderful day..

Bought a pretty pair of Lisner Clip on earrings last week, they look like turq & navy leaves. Not sure how many are still buying Clip ons anymore.. So much jewelry, I must take the time to lay out a lot of it and take pictures and sell in lots, They use to sell that way here not sure anymore.. So much I should be doing..

Well Hello to anyone else stopping by. Shelly

HI LIL, how is business over at those other places, Sorry I missed you, but hope you come back, I try to check in every week once or twice..
I just got a notice that from now til the 31st, I can list 2000 items at Fixed prices.. I would be lucky to get 50 done.. Cannot imagine handling 2000 items and know where they all were. That would be mind boggling unless you have a really good system set up and room for it all, or even help with the business, I have none of that.. 😆 Hope your getting lots of sales.. never heard of TACE.
I guess I will have to do a Search.. RL seems to have so many restrictions or rules you have to go by I find it confusing..

Hi to everyone else peeking in.. Shelly

HI JO, sounds like you are going to be busy.. Do you have to worry about others moving stuff from your shelves and setting them other places? Maybe not because each item I am sure is tagged with your information..
I have been checking in, but cannot stay, DH is home and expecting to eat. IMagine that.
I had a BFF whom she & DH did not have any children I think due to him having mumps as achild.. But her and I always exchanged MD cards and I gave her a plant many times.. She really wanted kids, and like you had many nieces & Nephews she catered to..
Such is life, we handle what God grants us..

Wishing you luck with the Newest venture.. Shelly

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY tomorrow for All those peeking in..

HI PAT & JO, So good to see some life here.. 😆

JO Yes I have always loved colored glass, but now even more so the EAPG glass, I usually buy any I see, if reasonable, and usually get stuck with it too..
But thats the chances we take..

HI PAT, I'm Glad your still around. Like most of us I have too much of everything, wish I could get buying out of my system. More jewelry then I know what to do with.. Would like to sell it all, but its laying it all out to display it for pictures thats the hardest thing to do, and then having to describe it too.. I did sell some Joan Rivers items that was easy to sell, still in boxes.. Wish I could run across more of that. Not asking much am I..

Haven't seen LEON stop by in awhile.. According to his last post he was still doing flea markets.

Hope you gals do stop by. I am still selling, keep thinking at my age I should just get rid of it all and enjoy life. But it does supplement the SS $ dontcha know?

HI JO, Just checking back in to see if maybe someone stopped by.. That is funny, after no one being here for months..
Hope you are doing fine, and are you still selling? On Ebay, or elsewhere? Catch you again, hopefully..

Just dropping in to see if anyone else has.. I sure would like to be surprised with finding this board active again.. Whose going to answer my jewelry questions.. Nothing like friends helping friends out.
I have books but not the same..
Well just know that I am thinking of as many of you as I can remember, Becca, Ginger, Doreen, Pat, ZOE, Judy, Mim, Helen, Max, Cecilia, LEON, JO, Char, Katie, Gayle, Beetique, and so many others that do not come to mind off the top of my head..
A big hello and would be nice to see a few of you, or all. Shelly hanging in there.

HI LEON, just thought I would peek in to see if any one stopped by.
Good seeing you are still surviving, and selling too.
I agree, whats really alarming sellers right now is the Free Relisting they started last month, and now its not free. People even tho they unchecked the relisting box, are still getting thier items relisted and charged for it.. If you get the Ecommerce Email, you can see it there.. One lady paid almost 50.00 more on her bill due to that automatic relist box.. Even if you unchecked it ebay was relisting it.. What a way to gyp the seller. For me not that big of a problem but for some who have big time listings like a 1000 or two it would really add up..

So hope you and family have a much better year this New Year.. and catch you another time. Sure do miss the old board. Where it was always busy and moved right along..

HI CHAR, So good to see you, sorry I missed you Monday, Bummer..
Yes I think I will continue until the time is right to take all treasures to an auction, the Flea Market Sellers will be buying by March.. Than I will stick to small things, easy to pack, easier to stow.. Jewelry, Video games, maybe even books.. I have plenty of those I need to sort out..
Its nice having the extra money there when you see something you want.
Will be interesting to see how things work out with ebay. Surprised they did not have more Free listings during the holidays because they knew it would be slow.. I am sure they have noticed a slow down in there income.
Char you can always schedule pick ups by mail man, OR just put a note on mail box to have them come to the house, I put a note on mail box, pick up and Sometimes let it set outside by the door.. They get paid extra for bringing in packages, so its a bonus for them I think.. Saves on gas as well.

Well I have to tend to the Pork & Sauerkraut for tonight Going to sons to play cards & eat..
Have a Happy One, Everyone peeking in..
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE

HELLO ALL, Wishing you all a best of New Years coming for 2015...
I am seriously thinking about quitting Ebay.. Than I think maybe if I get rid of all these boxes etc, I could just sell the jewelry I have been stock piling.. or something small, it gets so hard to find bubble wrap anymore, and get tired of wrestling with big boxes, and looking for things..
I think I am going to start thinking small!

Doubt anyone will stop in to read this so will cut it short. Lets hope Ebays new people in charge will be kind.. Going to check out Movies I asked DH to go to one today.. Any suggestions? Usually see a movie that will be coming out advertised, by the time it comes forget what it was..

HI JO, & PAT, So sorry I missed you, I almost gave up checking in as no one seems to stop by, I guess interests change, I feel as if an old friend (the board) Has been deserted. What a shame, we use to have so much fun here..
Wish there was a way to nudge every one at once, maybe we would get a few others to stop in.

I wish you all A Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year if anyone stops in before then, Shelly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DOREEN, get out of that pasture and come see your Pottie friends, no joolies post anymore.. Sad..

Just checking in to see if anyone still uses this board anymore..
Wishing Every Joolie a Great day/week/year... Shelly

HI LEON, good to see someone checking in.. Been awhile..for all of us..
I would have to say this board is about extinct. Bummer.
Glad to see your wife is recovering nicely, and that DS is up walking around, sad about the limp, but yes better then having lost it.. Hope he appreciates life more now after that bout.
I have had a few sales on Ebay.. Of course we would all like to see more.. Not greedy, just to get rid of it.. Hope your doing well at the Flea Market. Do not remember now where are you located again? Do they have Flea Markets year round, or do you get Sn-w , brrr, can't believe I almost said that word..

Yep Jewelry still waiting for me to take pic and list.. Wondering if anyone is having any luck selling jewelry.. No one stops in to tell us..

Hi to Everyone and All Take care, until we meet up again here.. Shelly

HI LIL, Still have not gotten around to taking pictures of my jewelry to list.. Had a couple minor surgeries that set me way back in time.. But doing well, nothing life threatening, tho we thought maybe a kidney, but all is well, Thank the Lord.. Planning on a yard sale next month so what isn't selling here might go then, Hopefully.. Just too many irons in the fire, I know you can relate..
Catch another time..

Hello to any others peeking in.. Shelly

Thanks Lil, it is cold, pretty necklace, maybe 5.00, for it. I never wore it.

Thanks LIL Will do that, I did a search on Google. but not sure I learned anything.. I am going to a flea Market on Sat, to sell, I just may sell that necklace, making no claims, as to what it might be.. Good seeing you..

HELLOOooooooooooooooo Anyone out there?
Wondering if anyone can tell me, is there a way to tell if something Pink might be Rose Quartz? TIA

Hi every Joolie, good to see a few more checking in.

LEON, happy to hear your somn is well on his way to recovery. I bet it's been a long haul for him and you too.
Wondered what happen to you.

Hi Doreen, LIL, & PAT. Isnt it awful how consumed life gets? That we cannot take time to enjoy some private time for ourselves?

I do hope every one is having some sales somewhere. It seems ebay is throwing in new rules to discourage more members. Sometimes I wonder why we cater to them.

HI PAT, Nice to know your still with us and always happy to see one more familiar face.. Hope your doing well wherever you are.. Shelly

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAULA, I guess its been awhile since, you have been here.. Would be nice to see others pop in.. Hoping you have a great day with Loved ones.. Eat a piece of cake for me.

HI LIL, I too have a Multitude of Books, I keep saying I am going to get rid of them and Don't. I have so many gardening books, I wish I could sell. and reading books, some I will never get around to reading, but that was my plan for retirement, they are still packed in the closet.. and more underfoot that I have acquired while out treasure hunting.. Just not enough time in the day..
I was intent on putting all the first editions into one lot and selling them locally, but have not even done that.. Woe is Me..
Glad your making headway with your Taxes. How come you do not sell on Ebay? I see you have some nice things, I have borrowed my Friends White Box with intentions of taking pic, but have not got around to that either.. "OVERWHELMED" is still the word of the day.. Need to pull it all together.. I think I need to go read Flyladies site again. Shelly

HI LIL. I do happen onto the PGP Board occasionally, to see whats happening and I keep saying I need to post a couple of items to see if anyone recognizes them, but never make it that far, Need to take pic. Our taxes all done and sent in, waiting for returns.. this being the first year, since DH retired, only taxable income was Vacation pay. So we will be using some to take a vacation, we have not taken one in about 5 years.. Catcha later..

LIL, I too have to get working on mine.. Needing to do some research first.. On what income is taxable, 2013 is the first year for DH retirement/SS, Not to mention his sick pay from the VA.. So it will be a first for me too.

Take care Everyone.

HI LIL No I have not gotten the daily news letters, from Fly Lady, I guess I will have to go check her out and see where to sign up.. Thanks for reminding me..
Do you do FB? I do not know my way around and really have no time to dilly dally there, spend too much here. 😉

HI LIL Thank you I will book mark those and go check them out, probably not tonight, I have so much on my agenda, and Taxes still not done.. It will be there tomorrow, as will every thing else.. Glad you found something at the market.. Found some Coro the other day, dated it to 1930/40s, Blue Moonstones.. Pretty set.. Gal on Glass board said many are selling right off FaceBook, I do not go there much but maybe I should, 😉

GEE I just went back over 2 years of posts looking for someone who may have posted the Jewelry Links, wondering how come we do not have them here or if anyone has kept that site alive.. I sure would appreciate it..
Sad when I look back to all of the Joolies who use to post here, many still posting on the glass board but do not come here.. Wish there was a way to send out a shout to every one of them, to come back for a visit and possibly stay..

CURT is there a way to send out a mass Email notice to all the Jewelry Members, reminding them of the link and this board needs their support.

I see we missed MELs BD in Jan, and PATs BD in On FEB 2, and probably many others, do we not have a Birthday Link either.. I did get one link of value that I will share if anyone else stops by looking for a link they might be able to use..
http://www.illusionjewels.com/costumejewelrymarksv.html

Hope to see a little more action here, will still check by from time to time, Be nice to get this board rolling again.. Even LEON has desserted us.. But he tried for so long to keep it going, I can relate.. Shelly

DOES anyone have the link to the Jewelry Links we use to have linked here or on our old Jewerly Chat room? I thought it might be here, but not sure, where to look for it.. Maybe I can check back to some early posts.. Looking to see about a Patent number I have on a set of Coro Pin & earrings set. TIA Shelly

HI JO good to see someone here.. sorry have been busy for a few and surprised to see anyone else checked in.. Yep this snow is getting old.. but just think depending on where you live, this could be over in about 2 months.. Can't wait..

LIL How did you make out at the show?

Wondering what happened to CIL, DOREEN, JO & LEON, Its been over a month since LEON Was here, I do hope his son is doing alright..

HI LIL Good luck on your Big show tomorrow, hope you find some jools you cannot resist, at give away prices, I Always admire the big old pieces they call Fruit Salad or something like that, been out of my jewelry books too long..
Often wonder why people pay big money on Red Road when likely to find the same stuff on ebay for less money.. I know I can be as busy as I want to be on Ebay, but when you have cabinets in antique shops you are committed to being busy.. Sounds like too much work, specially at the price of gas today..

HEY!!!!

I am starting to get a complex, No one comes on here anymore..

Thanks CURT, I see that now, and hope others will now show up..

HI LIL, I am getting on and not sure why so many are having problems Getting to the Chat boards.. Curt gave those on a few boards a link not sure if he has a different one for each board.. I will see if I can contact you on the Ruby site..

LIL I found her web site.. others might be interested too.. Thank you for the heads up..
Flylady : http://www.flylady.net/

HI LIL I will do that, right now I need to call my new insurance program and ask some questions, I said that a couple hours ago adn still haven’t done it..
Thanks for that hint too, I will look her up and see what her suggestions are.. I would like to accomplish a bit.. Took pic. last night not enough but its a start.. I sold two more items last night, every sale helps.. Every sale gets one more item out of the house. I have had quite a few sales since Christmas, I think people are more to buying what they want, rather then thinking about buying gifts for others now..

HI LIL, Thanks for the Hints, lets hope I find time for that before my demise.. Seems like I never get anything done I want to do, but its not cause I don't think about it.. My get up and go has left the building..

HI LIL,. Thank you I will have to study them to see if I can make any sense out of them.. I appreciate the help.. I really hate parting with them, they all look like works of art. So may not sell, Need something to leave to all Granddaughters so these might just get mounted in a frame and a gift to one of them.

HI LOVESOLDSTUFF, I also like old stuff, ever since I was young, my son is just like me only not into jewelry much.. Forgot your name, but good to see anyone drop in.

As for CAMEOS, I cannot tell a good one from a fake.. they are all cameos to me just some worth more, wondering how does one tell?

So I guess everyone has vacated. ???

JO.. I took my Wind. 8 laptop back, they said they could fix it up to work like Windows 7 for 100.00 extra, I Said No already paid enough for it.. So will look for refurbished Wind. 7 laptop..
Did you open up on Ruby Lane, I see Ruby Plaza closed. I have wanted to open up a store there but seems too hard.. Also expectations seem high for the seller, like quanity of sales? BWDIK..

Well work to do so best get at it.. Will keep checking in.

DOREEN I had some of those Purple Liatris, that have eventually died out, I did not have a whole lot, but these remind me so of some wild flowers that different states plant along the roadside, so wonder if either of yours are the kind that grow wild and will take over the whole yard eventually if you let it.. I liked the roadside ones so well, stopped to pull some out, and the roots were over taking everything and was told they were not something I wanted to plant in my garden, so didn't.. I just like purple.. Not knowing what the different varieties are.. TIA.............. Shelly

Well it was nice to see some check in over the holidays but no one been around for a few..
I am wondering to all the joolies who see this.. I have a few cameos brooches, I bought just for the beauty, but some have a broken clasp on them, can they be fixed. If I decide to sell them one day are they worth selling?

CIL Just click on your name it will take you to your personal page, and on that is your link at the top that will say PROFILE..

HI DOREEN, Keep coming back, good to see another old face.. Hows the horses doing, how cold is it there? Watched many of your videos on your home page, over the years.. Very interesting.. Yes I have to admit I have had some nice sales also.. But Dang me, I have misplaced a piece of Jewelry, know I did not sell it, I could kick myself.. I might have to bite the bullet and refund her money.. Shelly

HI CIL, know the feeling with Win 8, I would not have it if there was an alternative.. But doubtful they are selling 7 anymore but maybe..
Go to your profiles to add or change anything you have or want connected with a link. Just go to your site and copy the address out of your browser and paste it into the profile space. if I remember right,

HI JO, Yes Lap top is Windows 8 and its not friendly at all, Desktop has Win. 7.. Which I can manage then to try to operate both off my Router Wifi, Is all greek to me.. I promised my friend I would give it another try tomorrow.. I just want to take it back.. But I will try a while longer.. We have a Smart TV that I can connect to Wifi also and not sure how that will ever happen.. I guess I will have to read the instructions, and see.

Have a great night/day everyone.. BB Tomorrow/Sunday

HI JO, & LIL, Gee I have Wifi on my router from Verizon and still cannot get my Laptop hooked into it.. I am a ditz at computer stuff, I need it to start right up and go when I get on.. I can use my Laptop to play games, or watch DVD movies other then that I have no clue what I am doing..Grrr, want to take back my Christmas present.

JO I think a question a day is good, Surely there are many marks or pieces with no marks that are in questions.. I am sure there are still many that have jewelry questions, its just getting them here to start with.. I don't think there is any way to get those on Ebay or the Internet to find out how to find us.. Those who left long ago.. would have a hard time getting back.. Bummer

PS LIL Glad you found your way back, yep when you lose these links its not easy to find your way back unless you know someone who is on it.. Not like searching Ebay for the community boards anymore.. but once you found one, you usually can find a link on the side here, that helps too.. So Welcome back..
LEON Should be showing up one of these days and he will be delighted to see some action here.. I am..

DON't Forget to put your Ebay listing link into your Profile so we can check out your beautiful items.. Shelly

HI CIL, LIL, and anyone else that stops by.. It will sure be good to get life into this board again..
CECELIA do they call you anything for short? I said CIL because one of my best friends is called that.. I taught her how to sell on Ebay many years ago, she had never worked in her life besides babysetting when hers were young, and now she is earning her own spending money and getting pretty greedy, and tight with her money.. LOL Bet she is saving for a trip to Florida to get out of this frigid weather we are having in Pa.

Wishing you both a Better New Year on Ebay.. tho I am not complaining too much.. Shelly

HI is this PAT I forget the names and not really good at guessing. LOL

ANyhow, Good idea, you had, and hope you made a big dent in your inventory..
I just sold a set last night I still have not found and most of my jewelry is in the same place, so I need to get back to looking.. Wishing you a Happy Come Back along with the Happy New Year.. I must say the sales over holidays and since have surprised me, but am greatful.. Hope more would come back.. Gets lonely here. 🙂 Shelly

HAPPY NEW YEAR Every ONE.. We are getting the snow, Chicago, NYC, & Boston is getting.. 6 to 8 more inches today.. Good day to hibernate..

HI LEON, and Leforme44, been so long I forget the names that go with the IDs.
Hope you are all staying warm, and making sales.. I was going pretty good for awhile, now mainly expensive or cheap stuff left.. Some in between.. Might have to find another venue, but dread trying RL. seems too complicated, tho I know many of you do it, I think I am too slow on the uptake..
Wishing everyone a Great Holiday this month.. Hard to believe Christmas is less then a week away.. Where did the year go?

HI LEON, I guess we might have to join them.. Since they do not seem keen on joining us, Did you forget to shower or was it me? 😉
I do hope your son is doing well.. He needs to keep moving.. as he already has probably been told.. Don't want him to become a non productive member of todays society. I am sure he doesn't either..

CHECKING IN LEON, Shelly Gee I had not realized it had been that long since I have been here.. I guess just a sample of how slow things are..

Hello CHAR, LEON, any one else that might drop by.. I am looking for my cameos and Cannot find them, I have them all in one jewelry box and where oh where can they be.. I did find a couple cheap Cameo rings I had not yet gotten a chance to group with the others.. I will try to make add that on my list of things to do..

I have a Embroideried lid on a metal compact, with no name on it but a crown emblem on the back but it does not resemble Matchebellis Crown, So not sure who made it.. This has the points clear across the top no Cross or high spot in the middle like Matchebelli's is.. Anyone know of who else might have used a Crown as a logo? TIA.. Shelly

Just checking in, glad to see you CHAR & LEON, This is a quickie will check back in as soon as I get back.. Just to say hi, or maybe I will take a pic of my Cameo's.. for show & Tell, Char you can show yours, LOL BBL

Well I am thinking, yep there I go again, and thinking if this board is costing anyone money they might as well disband it for all the use it is doing. Sad..

Wondering if we need to send out a MIA alert for all the missing joolies.. Speaking of which I think I will gather most of mine laying loose around here and sell it as a group lot..

WE can still have Show & Tell.. I picked up a Cameo Ring the other day, not because its anything, just because I like them, added to the box with the rest of mine. AMBER was going to tell me if mine were good or not, because I cannot tell, and not sure how she could from pictures.. Anyone else know how to tell? Beside burning them with a Pin, which I will not do..

Took two tries to get here but I made it..

LEON, that is good news about your son, I know the Docs like you to be able to bend your knee so many degrees, I forget but it will come I am sure.. Glad you have the FM and your still able.. I quit several years ago because it was just too much work for so little return.. and it was all outside nothing covered..

Sad that people quit coming because of no benefit, there were some nice folks here.. and does shopping ever go out of our blood, Its nice just to stop by for questions.. Maybe the Holidays will bring them back..

HI LEON, wasn't sure where you are located, Use to live in Augusta, where DS was born at "Fort" Gordon, now Camp.. Glad you have the options for year around selling if you have a mind to.. I am sure many get bored and are looking for somewhere to go..

Seems like this board is our own personal note pad.. Where have all the Joolies gone?
Maybe as winter draws closer some will start stopping by..

LEON are you done with the Fleas? Not sure where you live or how long your FM last.. Ours ends this month I believe.. I had been there many years ago when there was snow on the ground, but I was younger and foolish then.. 🙂

GOOD NEWS LEON.. I hope he pays attention to that fact and does not put any weight on it. 2 months seems like forever.. Hopefully this will slow him down when he gets anxious for speed in the future.. Nice that Niece can be there for him..

Picked up a cheap (Probably) Cameo ring yesterday, it is adjustable, just because it was a cameo, to add to my collection of them.. I will never wear it.. Love Cameos but do not know a good one from a fake one..

HI LEON, Glad your son came through second surgery ok, gosh why did they have to operate twice.. OUCH....;-( Does he live alone? That has to be hard for him.. but glad he is independant.. Nice that you are there for him tho.. Did they remove his knee cap? Good luck to him on recovery, and therapy, it will be a long road..

LEON Glad you had a good flea weekend. and yesterday you got to kick back and just relax, you maybe sore from all the lifting.. How is your DS doing, hope his recovery and therapy is going ok..

LEON glad to hear DS is home, hope he has a successful recovery.. And Best of Luck at the Flea.. and weather is agreeable..

HI LEON, So sorry to hear about your DS accident, Yep know how you feel about your baby, mine is 53, and he is grown up, but oft times is no more grown up then he was at 16.. But ya gotta lovem.. Hope your son has come through the surgery or will soon, Mending seems to take forever.. Fell and broke my wrist in June, it still aches and still going through therapy. I imagine your son will have to do that also to keep it from getting stiff, and froze in place.

Good Grief, don't you wonder why it has to come to a shooting. Something we use to only see in western & gangster movies.. Its good to have a Gun for protection, but why use it on someone else. Taking a life that can never be a Positive outcome for anyone. Guess you will be getting a new neighbor, or does he have family that will live there?

HI LEON Hope the booths pay for themselves.

Not sure how many here remember AMBER (AMBER1986) posting or not or if you saw her on other boards, Her DH called me yesterday to tell me she passed on. Massive Heart Attack.

HI LEON, hope you had enough sales to make it worth while.. Do you take covering like Shade tent or Umbrella?

I went to sale Sat. will take pictures of some items I got when I can handle the camera better..

Hi LIL, Glad to see you back have many pictures to take of jewelry when hend is working better. So hope to see more of you, we need to encourage others to come back too.

Hi DOREEN, checked out my Park Lane and saw several listed and completed from 15.00 to 44.00, I paid 1.00 so not even sure I want to sell, just add it to my Cameo's Collection.

I use to Do Flea Markets but too old and too hard to pack and set up anymore. Bummer. Just saw a new one listed nearby about 35 miles. I might call a friend to see if she wants to go.
Do you get many estate sales in your area. We usually have two or three every week, and some sales that people advertise as Estate sales but they are not.
