Jewelry Chatroom Board

SHELLY...big question...where do I find "my profiles" in order for me to change anything?? Don't laugh, it's been ages since I've been on here!!

The more I hear about Windows 8 the more I'm thinking I will not like it. I "hate" change!!!
I'll have to figure out how to post my website on here...

It has been so long that I'll have to check my notes as how to post links... I still have the old Windows xp and I will have to update it...but I don't want to loose everything when I transfer over. I think I'll let a new laptop with Windows 7 if it's still available and slowly transfer everything over.
I have a number of shorter versions of Cecelia. Cil, Cec, Cece and Celia. I answer to them all LOL.
I sure miss the eBay chat boards. The Canada Board and Jewelry Board were my favorites. I've lost touch with so many people. They were good boards for information. I was on the Jewelry Ring but closed it when I went on vacation and didn't hook it back on again. I'll have to just get it done.
Questions on here would be great. I'm sure between us we have a lot of knowledge.
Good night all...I'll check back in when I can.

I know it's been a while and I have trouble with remembering names too. My name is CECELIA. I sell on eBay under Vintage-Memories
It did make a good dent but there are still thousands of more pieces to photograph and sell. Happy New Year to you too Shelly.

I'm thinking of selling some of my jewelry in lots. I had a jewelry sale at my home for a week in November and did very well. Advertising on Facebook and by invitation to people on my email list. Lots of work. I had over 1,000 pieces of jewelry and purses...most everything was vintage. Served wine and cheese. Had a great time.

Hello everyone and HAPPY NEW YEAR. It has been some time since I've been here. Could not remember my password, etc. I'm planning on getting back to seeling jewelry after being away from it for well over a year. I'm sure I'll be a big rusty...but...that won't take long. Hope you're all well. I'm looking forward to chatting with you again.

I watched the closing ceremony of the 2012 Olympics today and it was absolutely fabulous. Good job London...well done!! Did any of you watch it? I was real proud of all the Canadian Olympians.

HELEN...good luck with your dentist appointments. I have 2 mercury fillings to be replaced next week and I think I'll post pone it until September. I've already had 2 of them removed and refilled with a porcelain compound and was very happy when it was over. I'm such a coward when it comes to dentists... Anyway, good luck.

Hi everyone. It's been some time since I posted. To all of you who are not well, get well soon. And those of you with those high temperatures, I hope you're able to find a cool spot for a change of pace. I've been managing to keep the house quite cool with 2 portable AC's that vent out the windows. Good investment. We have radiant heat so there is no way we were able to put in a regular AC.

I have not been very active on anything lately...not even eBay. My websites are way overdue for some revamping. I have soooooo much "stuff" to sell and in particular jewelry. I really should get started and list it and let someone else love it.

A couple of weeks ago I participated in a Car Boot Sale at our local beach parking lot. It was very successful for me. I put together items I would have 'given' away to the local thrift store but I ended up selling just about everything. I picked through my jewelry and put together 11 bags and sold them for $10 each. Mainly earrings and necklaces, some bracelets...and crafter/repair items. Also sold a big box of assorted buttons, vintage Christmas decorations and odds and ends. Ended up with a few hundred dollars and cleaned out part of my closet... But, it was hot. Sale was from 8:30 to 12:30.

Hope to be back and chat again. I'll have to scroll down and see what everyone has been doing.

Good luck with your sales. Good night and sweet dreams.

Glitz...I know what you mean about having so many things to get rid of too. I guess I'll just have to go box by box until it's done. Good luck.

Hi everyone. I'm finally getting to feel better after having pneumonia for 2 weeks. It sure took the wind out of my sails and set me back a bit. I'm on the mend and anxious to getting back to my usual self. I'd better get my rear in gear and get some pictures taken and get some listings going before all my jewelry and other treasures disintegrate (lol). Hope you're all doing well. We are having a horrible start to summer and it has been quite wet. I'll try to post more often...

I did not know that Ruby Plaza was closing... Mmmmmmmmm I wonder why.

Hi Doreen. How are all your horse doing?

INFAMOUSLYETI * I looked at your work and I think it is very lovely. In particular the first ring. Keep up the good work.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our Webmaster. You're doing a great job with this venue...thanks.

Hi Doreen...I have a husband like that too. Very young at heart!!

I have not listed anything on eBay since last September so I'm sure that things have changed. Yes, why would you want links to other listings...strange. I guess I'll just have to list something to see what all the changes are all about.

AMBER and GLITS : Here I am all safe and sound. Thanks for remembering me. I hope to be more of a fixture in the future.

Hi everyone!!! I thought my ears were burning and now I know why.... Nice to see my name in print. I have not been on here for ages. There has been a lot going on and I have not had time to post, or do anything with my websites or even list on eBay. My husband had a total hip joint replacement and is doing very well. I was his "nurse" and he was a good patient??? Then I was in Tampa Florida for one month visiting with my daughter and grandchildren. We have had house guests, we've been on a cruise to Alaska and now it's time for me to get all my flower beds in order. I guess I've been a bit busy. I hope to post more often. I really miss our eBay chat boards. I have oodles of jewelry pieces to sort and price and get listed on eBay. I know sales are real slow right now so hopefully sales will get better for all of us.

Looks like I have a lot of scrolling and reading to do to catch up with everyone. Hope you're all doing well. Cheers...Cecelia

GLITZ: What kind of dresses?

I don't know if you remember or not, but my husband had a total hip joint replacement in June and he has totally recovered from the surgery and is doing very well. Just thought I'd mention it. He's never been sick a day in his life (other than a cold) so this was difficult for him as he did not know what to expect. I was his nurse and he followed all my direction very well. He was a good patient.

Well...I really need some motivation to get me selling again. I've been away from it since before summer. I've got piles of jewelry and collectibles and I just can't seem to get going. Maybe if all of you think positive about it, I'll get your vibrations of good thoughts. It's worth a try, right?

GLITZ... My worse purchase was a car from someone I worked with. It turned out to be a lemon and cost me loads of money to repair it. I went to my co-worker and told her about the lemon and all she was..."buyer beware". Not nice.

MEL... Good luck. Hope it all worked out for you. I'm told I have to have my cataracts removed too. Not looking forward to it.

I have drawers and boxes of vintage linens too. Some of the hankies I have are absolutely stunning. Every year I let my sister pick out a hankie. She loves to have one in her evening bag. I sold some of my linens to a friend of mine and had the pleasure of dining at their house and they had the table set with the linens. I was truly pleased. They have many antiques in their home and the linens looks so in place.

Hi Shelly. I have not been selling since the middle of the summer. My husband had a hip joint replacement so I was totally taking care of him. Then I went to Florida for a month and came back with a cracked rib...so, I've been nursing that. I plan on getting going in March again. Yes, it's difficult selling. It is not what it used to be. I love estate sales. I went to one some years ago. Got there at 8:30 am and left at 3:30. Most of everything I got that day I've already sold and turned over my $$ very nicely. Wish there were more like that. Hope you're well.

Hi everyone... I have not been here in ages. Hope you're all well. I have to get back into the swing of things as I have not been doing anything with my jewelry for quite a few months. I'm anxious to get back at it. I've been reading all the posts and I think my eyes are getting buggy so I'd better go rest and resume another day.

Hi Pat. Yes, no eBay censoring...!!! Not that we every did anything nasty on the chat board. Adding a link is just the same as when added on the other board. Or, do you mean to your profile?

Well, it's official, eBay's Jewelry Chat Board is closed down and replaced with a "thread" type of site. I don't like "threads".

It was great chatting with all of you and hope to see you on this site.

nCan we post our links to eBay listings on this venue? Or to our websites? One other venue allows the links... Just thought I'd ask. I'm sure if I read the Guidelines, I''d have an answer to my question.

I'm always giving things away. I have "things" that are just sitting in boxes so if someone is in need I'm happy to help out. The community we live in, we are not allowed to have garage sales (like a gated community). Once every couple of years the whole community has a huge sidewalk sale and just about everything goes. We have not had one for a couple of years now. The other day I gave away 2 garbage bags full of VHS videos and a whole pile of LP record albums. I'm sure I could have sold them on CraigsList but I just couldn't be bothered. I'm going on vacation so I have to cancel my last listing and will get back to it at the end of November.

Just popping in to see what everyone is doing....

PAT ~ I just had a look at some L/N jewelry and it's stunning. Now that I know you are looking for a large link rhinestone covered bracelet, I'll be more tuned in to what I'm looking for. I think I man have a few pieces too and did not know what they were. I'll have to go and check.

PAT ~ Thanks for the information re L/N. I'll keep my eyes open and if I see something remotely close, I'll let you know.

GLITZ... excuse my ignorance...but...what is L/N jewelry? Well, when I tune into the Jewelry Board Saturday morning it just might be gone. It sure was a great venue.

I hope one day you find "the bracelet". Maybe one day when you least expect it, it will just be there and you will be amazed!!!

Here is a picture of my Mom's necklace. My Mom passed away 6 years ago. I treasure this piece of jewelry she gave me.

Hi everyone! I live in British Columbia, Canada and am originally from the Canada Board. When the Canada Board shut down I moved over to the International Trading Board...and now it will be shutting down too (maybe it's me they're trying to get away from). Just joking, of course. I have a wild passion for jewelry... I love it, I buy it, I wear it and I sell it. I remember when I was a little girl my Mother had some fabulous jewelry. I still have a necklace of hers that she had when I was 12 years old!!! I used to have an old Avon jar (purple with 1 or 2 birds on the lid) that I used to keep loose rhinestones in. I used to take them out of the jar and just look at how beautiful they were. In my many travels and moving, as a child, I lost the jar with the rhinestones but I can remember having them as if it was just yesterday. Strange how that happens. I'll take a picture of the necklace and post it for you to look at. See you all later.

Wow, that last post...lettering is way to big. I'll just tone it down in the future.

Okay...I'm good and I'd better leave before I make any mistakes. Bye for now.

Great...my BOLD worked and now I will try to add some COLOR too.

I'm going to 'test' to see if I can BOLD on this venue...

ginnyrose_carole. I use a neti pot and it works for me. The first time was sooooo weird and I did not think I'd be able to go through with it...but, it works for me!!

It has been so long since I posted I thought I'd better refresh my memory and get on here before I forget how. Looks like this is a popular venue...!!

I'm curious...why is there a "flag" on some of the posts??

PAT...I'm anxious to see the 950 mark too. Very nice bracelet. What are the stones?

It's great to see some familiar faces here... I'm glad I was finally able to figure out how to register. It was worth the trouble.

Thank you for creating this lovely venue!! I'm looking forward to chatting and exchanging ideas with all of you again... Cecelia
