My Family....I know I am so blessed to have them,& after a not particularly happy childhood, they mean the whole world to me. I love doing 'family things' together,Holidays,Christmas,Picnics,days out.I am glad my marriage is still going strong,after so many years.I am also so fortunate to have 2 Grandchildren.My sweet little Grand-daughter& my incredible Grandson,who has fought cancer for years,& is so unbelievably brave,cheerful& thoughtful. I am so proud of all my children and Grandchildren,& still can't believe sometimes,how my life has turned out,& how I came to have such beautiful,lovely kids around me.I love them all so much. My Faith...I could not exist without it,& I love my Chapel.I am thankful for so many things. I miss my Mom..... enough said.I think about the baby boy I lost 30 years ago,and will never,ever forget. I adored my Convent School & all the Sisters there,& have so many happy memories of it. My bones hurt now,but truly,LAUGHTER really is the best medicine!!

I used to 'do' the Doll's House Fairs,and had stalls at quite a few,really enjoying them.It was a family affair,with everyone making something,but work and children took up my family's time,and as my bones worsened,I found I couldn't keep up the volume of goods needed for a good stall,so I opened a shop on eBay,selling not only Doll's House Miniatures,but all sorts of different items & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE it ! I have made some great friends and there are some lovely folk out there! The shop keeps me busy and is interesting, and a great outlet for my miniatures and collectables.It is easier to work at my now slower pace,and at the same time,keep busy! This helps me cope with my bone problems and,as I have always wanted a little shop,this is such a great way to run one!

I prefer Paypal as it is by far the easiest, but also accept Cheques,Postal orders etc. so am flexible... ( that way at least!)

I aim to post within one or two days and send at Standard Postal rates. I do not make a profit on Postage. What I pay... you pay! I wrap extremely well!One customer said my items are like 'Pass the Parcel' !! Also,I always get 'Proof of Postage' and will gladly sort out any problems.... though hopefully...there will be none! My husband will often deliver parcels,if it is not too far from us, and will go further for his petrol money.

As I wrap so well, I would hope nothing gets broken, but would happily sort it out with the P.O to the best of my ability.If anyone is unhappy with an item, which I hope would not happen... please contact me,and I will try and resolve any problems a.s.a.p.

My shop is Angela's Arcade and I am situated in South Staffordshire.

My Hero is my very special Grandson, who despite everything he endures,remains hopeful,cheerful,smiling,funny,brave,thoughtful,caring and NEVER complains about what life has thrown at him! He is INCREDIBLE! It is a great privilege to know him,and I count myself blessed that he is such a big part of my life. He always looks on the bright side of life, and mine would be poorer if I had never known him. I count it a great honour to have him for my Grandson!!

All those who fought in the Wars, past and present,and those who gave their lives so that we can live in a democracy, and not be afraid to speak our minds. My Grandson. Those who stand up for what they believe,regardless of 'the crowd'. Nurses,in particular the Oncology ones,who have helped us,and have become like family to us. Loyal friends.
