Rare Artwork Collected and Now selling due to lack of Space

I would like to share some information that I have about an artist by the name of 'Suraphong'.  I have not found information in this detail anywhere else and I feel blessed to have it and I want to share it with others who would find this information of value.

I own a unique painting by Surabhong that was painted in 1983 that I call the Mystique Nude & Horse.  Along with this painting I purchased I received a COA and COR and I received a copy of his history.  The following is a copy of what I received about this unique artist.

If you read this and know of other information about his artist please let me know.  You can see the painting I am selling by going to the listing I have for it in eBay.

Am I taking TOO much time to create a Auction or Store Listing on Ebay!?

What do you think about creating listings on eBay? 
I guess because I am a creative person who likes variety, I want my listings to look attractive.
Yes, I know I need to have the basic critical information that members need to make a decision
about purchasing, But!  I know it surely takes me longer to create a listing than it does others
who just put a few lines of text describing item and put in a couple of pics and that is it. But! 
Is it worth the extra time and effort that I take to create a listing and am I doing the right type of listing????

Perhaps those of you who have looked at my listings can help me out and make a few comments (constructive please)
about my listings and how I might improve them.  Of course some of them I created over a yr ago and some are recent.
I have revised some of the old ones as I have gotten new ideas over the last couple of yrs. I had even figured out how to
put audio on my listings, so whenever anyone opened the listing I would start talking, introduce myself, welcome them
and thank them for looking at my listing.  Even tell them where to look for store logo to go into my store.  I took it out
because someone told me it startled them.  Should I have left it on there?

But!  I ask myself, what is the objective?  To creat a listing for a product with all the information necessary +
for an eBay member to find my listing, like the product, have questions all answered and purchase it for the best price
possible (for them and me)!  SO!  I ask myself, is that what I am doing?  OR have I created a listing with too much color
or splash or distraction, that a member never really sees what I am selling?

The other thing I ask myself is there anything else I need to do to show credability??  With so much spam and fraud
going on out there have I done everything I need to do to show members they can trust me and feel good about purchasing from me?
Did the audio I used to have on my listings help with that and should I have left it on there?  I know everyone on ebay probably
has the same questions, but maybe some also have the answers?!

Sincerely hoping some members will let me know what they think.

Well it happened I work from home Now what do I do with all these Clothes!

Well it finally happened, my husband and I sold our brick and mortar business, traded it for working from home. Now we can spend the time with our Grandkids we didn't spend with our kids. (That is a whole different blog subject) 

I can't even believe the amount of clothes I have, I loved to shop and had a good excuse to, and after all I needed clothes for work.  I needed to look professional, first impressions are very important, right!    I loved to dress for my moods, always dressed nice for work, but different looks depending on how I felt. We had out of town conferences twice a year, had to have all new outfits the each event at every conference.

I am sure there are other women out there that can relate. My husband did not understand that thought process at all.  He practically wore the same thing everyday, had many sets of the same pants and the same shirts.  Not for me, I also love color and express myself that way too!

Well, I can't explain away the fact that quite a few of the clothes I am selling still have the price tags on.  I have to admit sometimes I shopped to feel good, if I found a good deal and I really liked what ever it was, I bought it whether I needed it or not.  The other challenge I had was with my size it kind of went up and down, so I had clothes for up and down.

So here I am running an eBay Store, what an excellent opportunity to make available to the other career women in the world, who still have to go into the office, the clothes I no longer need, or can fit into:) 

As I mentioned a large number of the clothing items still have tags, are new without tags or have only been worn and cleaned once.  This is an excellent opportunity for women to take advantage of, and add to your wardrobe at a really good price.   I am taking many pictures and giving all the measurement details I think will help for someone to decide to purchase.

A lot of the items are long sleeved, long sleeved blazer and blouses, but I know it still feels like winter in some parts of the world right now, right!  So hello, cold country here are some clothes you are going to still want to wear right now and for many months to come.

I appreciate all who come and look and if you have questions please ask me, if you have suggestions please tell me.  Check out my eBay store under Women’s clothes. 

Sincerely Hoping to do business with YOU!

OUCH! Sore Ear Lobes Articles Explain why, NEED NICKEL FREE!

OUCH! ALLERGIC TO EARRINGS! Allergic to Nickel!

I have always had trouble wearing earrings for very long, my ear lobes would get sore and swollen and sometimes even get knots in them if I wore the earrings too long!!!  Even wearing them for one evening out and I would have itchy ear lobes at the end of the evening.  I have read several articles over the years and now I understand why, here is some of what I learned.

For millions of people, pretty earrings are a synonym for "ouch." When they wear clip-on or pierced earrings, their ears begin to itch and burn. Within a couple of hours, the pain, weeping skin and, in extreme cases, bleeding and pus, force them to ruefully remove the earrings. Their condition is called contact dermatitis. It is caused by contact with material the victim is allergic to or has become sensitized to. In this case, victims have become sensitized to metal in the earrings. (A better known example of contact dermatitis is a rash caused by poison ivy.)

My story is similar to many women. Studies of nickel plated earrings show that 10 to 15 percent of females suffered contact dermatitis, according to Dr. Barry Asman, an allergist at the Allergy and Asthma Care Center in Monroeville. Physicians say sufferers are most likely to be allergic to nickel, a common jewelry filler.  Nickel, in jewelry, snaps and buckles, is the fastest growing and biggest cause of contact skin rashes in North America today, states the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology. "Nickel allergies have increased 40% during the past five years," says Dr. Scheinman.

Well never again! I have finally found earrings I can wear,  I found 100% Nickel Free = 100% Hypoallergenic earrings, hoops in 7 sizes, 2 finishes, and hundreds of charm combinations that I can create my own custom look and change around every day. I love the wide variety of pieces available; animals, musical, holiday, drops, nautical, pearls, dressy, hearts, angels, stars and moons, western, patriotic, birthstone babies, birthstone puppies, birthstone booties, pins, bracelets, chains, necklaces, crystal rings, CZ studs, Jaynie Jackets, Swarovski Crystals, and lots of miscellaneous.

You can never run out of new creations and since we all know I love variety this is just up my alley. I know there are a lot of other people out there that are having ear problems and sore earlobes trying to wear earrings that they think are allergy free.  Well I found out that mfg. can say nickel free or allergy free if they only contain less that 41% nickel (which is what 99.9% of the people are allergic to) that means if you try to wear their earrings you are still going to have problems. The collection of Lady Jayne Charm Earrings I now offer thru my eBay store are the only ones I have found that are 100% Nickel Free. Lady Jayne Charm Earrings are mfg in New York by a lady named Nanci whose mother was named Jayne. So what could be better ** MADE IN THE USA AND BY A FELLOW FEMALE!**  

I am thrilled to be able to offer this wonderful collection thru my store. Lady Jayne has a 100% guarantee that everyone can wear them or your money back and a Life Time Replacement Warranty against any defects, tarnishing or lost stones.
