My name is Joni. I sell collectibles and antiques on eBay, as well as beads and jewelry-making supplies on Etsy. My eBay seller and store name is San Diegan Collectibles, celebrating the gorgeous place which I call home - San Diego County, California. Actually my husband Peter and I live in North San Diego County. Oceanside, to be exact - right in between the beautiful coastal city of Carlsbad, and the magnificent US Marine Corps base, Camp Pendleton.
Living less than one mile from the Pacific Ocean is a tremendous blessing. Living with such gorgeous weather is another tremendous blessing. But I consider our proximity to Camp Pendleton to be our biggest blessing of all. Anywhere you go in Oceanside, you will see young Marines. They are shining examples of our American youth, the defenders of our freedoms, the keepers of our home. They are truly the best this country has to offer, and we take enormous pride in their courage and service. May they inspire us all to strive to be the best in all we do, and to remember always that our country is not ours by right, but by the sacrifice and courage of others.
What does this have to do with eBay and Etsy? Everything, actually. Our ability to conduct business in the free market
is due to the sacrifices of those who have fought and who are currently fighting for that freedom. And eBay and Etsy are
such great examples of free markets! As online business owners, we get to formulate our own business plans, source our own products, market those products or services, meet awesome customers who buy our products, and then we put our earnings back into the economy.
Please help us keep that economy going by visiting our stores. We thank you for reading our blog. And if you should see a service man or woman in your travels, please take a moment to thank them - without them, none of this would be possible.
Joni
