GREETINGS FROM THE DRAGON LADY  That’s me:

Hello and welcome to my world.  I’m a recent retiree (just over 2 months) and have decided to leave the world of nursing for an adventure in retail—but not just any retail—I am most specifically interested in jewelry (if you knew me you’d know that this is a real passion as I usually am heavily bedecked).

I also inherited a collection from my late husband of 1980-2000 NASCAR collectibles including drivers that aren’t with us any more (Earnhardt and Davey Allison to name a couple) and some beer (Bud steins and taps) items.

For my other collectibles my goal is to find persons  like myself that are a bit older (though if you’re a younger collector I do not discriminate), need to down-size, or have a spouse that has left (either by incapacity or departure) them with a long-term collection.  I want to provided an alternative to the usual give it to the kids—who will usually downsize it themselves—or do a yard sale, or give it to whatever charity will pick it up at the front door.  I would offer a consignment option for them.  I would do the research for value and then work to list the collection for sale.  Thus allowing a profit rather than a give away.

This blog is a step in getting interest as well as participation in both co-op with craftsmen/artists and persons with collectibles for consignment as well as let you know a little about me and why you might want to join my adventure.

So stay tune tomorrow and I will update you on my progress and when you might be able to participate.
