“Write about what you know”, I’ve been told. I’m interested in so many things that I hesitate to limit my focus.
As the blog title says, I’m a work-at-home internet seller. I’ve been at this full-time for two years now but Books Around the Clock has been my business for about five years. I love selling online! I have some of the most wonderful customers from around the world that have made every keystroke worthwhile.
My favorite part of this business is hearing the various stories that my customers tell me. Many have written to tell me that the item that they found on my site was something that they had been searching for a long time or that it was an item that brought back fond memories of their childhood. These are my favorite kind of emails and I am fortunate to get these regularly. Maybe I will share some of those here. They’re inspiring and the reason I continue to get a lot of satisfaction from this career.
As you can tell from the above, my business is my passion. I plan to share a lot of my finds here with you. I love old vintage ephemera: paper, postcards, books, you name it. If it’s an old piece and tells a story, I want to hear it and match it with the right customer. I’m an old piece (!) and some might say vintage, (OK, not old but middle-aged), and I have a few stories of my own to tell. You’ll read some of them here.
Some posts may be of interest to the casual reader or may just be cathartic for my own mental health. You decide. Better yet, just read it. Enjoy. Laugh. Comment, please!
One thing is for sure: Sense of humor is not optional.
