WELCOME TO MARILYN'S ABOUT ME PAGE
My packing assistant Chip, a chocolate cocker spaniel, was caught sleeping on the job!!!
I have always been interested in antiques, but my first career was in retail women’s clothing...I owned and operated three stores in Denver from 1978 to 1991. ..All of my stores were decorated with antique furniture and accessories -- not for sale, but as displays...This is where I caught the bug of antiquing...A few years of trying to find a new career lead me to eBay as a buyer, then as a seller...I went into my basement and picked out a few of my childhood things to sell to give me seed money to start my eBay business...My first sale was an autographed photo of Lucille Ball that she sent me in response to a fan letter I sent her when I was 9 years old...That hooked me!
A day seldom goes by where I don't go saleing...Estate sales, antique malls and shows, thrift stores, garage sales are where I find my things...I look for things I think someone, somewhere collects...My collection is hippo figurines...This started in high school at a baseball game near the Denver Zoo and continues today...If I had the room, I would also collect California Pottery figurines from the 1930s - 1950s and vintage clothing from the 1920s...But since I don't have the room, I use my expertise in these areas to find these things and offer them to the collectors who do have the room.
I love hearing from people about their collections...Please contact me through the eBay Message Center and let me know what to look for and any information you have about what you collect.
