Thanks for your interest in My Treasure Shop Doll Boutique.  My name is Louise and I have been a seller & buyer on eBay since April, 1999.  I am the sole owner/operator of My Treasure Shop Doll Boutique.   I offer personal service to my customers and I take great pride in making sure your visit to my shop is a pleasant "shopping experience".

 

My Treasure Shop Doll Boutique was started because I am a doll collector and estate/garage sale addict.  My house and garage is overflowing with my "treasures".  You will find a vast selection of items which are old, gently used and new.

 

Collecting is a wonderful pastime, the thrill of the hunt, the delight of discovery, the joy of finding the perfect "treasure".  Two of my favorite collectibles are Mickey Mouse and Dolls.  I enjoy making some of my collectible "treasures" available to others who appreciate the things of our past.

 

 

I am a proud "Military Spouse", and my two boys grew up as "Military Brats". My husband retired after serving our country for 22 years in the USAF.

 

As a military wife, I became very good at packing and being able to set up a new house to feel like a home in a matter of days. In the USA we have lived in Texas, Florida, Missouri, Arkansas, Alabama, Louisiana, Utah and Nevada. My husband's remote tours overseas were Morocco, Viet Nam and Alaska. Our tours together overseas were the Philippines, Germany and Panama.

We retired in August '81 and, shortly thereafter, relocated to West Texas.

 

I would like to dedicate the following poem to my two sons' …. Markus and David.

 

My hometown is nowhere, my friends are everywhere. I grew up with the knowledge that home is where the heart is and the family....

Mobility is my way of life. Some would wonder about roots, yet they are as deep and strong as the mighty oak. I sink them quickly, absorbing all an area offers and hopefully, giving enrichment in return.

Travel has taught me to be open. Shaking hands with the universe, I find brotherhood in all men. Farewells are never easy. Yet, even in sorrow comes strength and ability to face tomorrow with anticipation....if when we leave one place, I feel that half my world is left behind, I also know that the other half is waiting to be met.

Friendships are formed in hours and kept for decades. I will never grow up with someone, but I will mature with many. Be it inevitable that paths part, there is constant hope that they will meet again.

Love of country, respect and pride fill my being when Old Glory passes in review. When I stand to honor that flag, so also do I stand in honor of all soldiers, and most especially, to the parents whose life created mine. Because of this I have shared in the rich heritage of Military life.
