This evening Marc leaves for his teaching job in China. I will really miss his company. While he was home he created my website: Tiffanycollector.com and my blog. This has saved me since ebay isn’t letting me list my collection except a few pieces at a time. Marc also bought me a huge wonderful safe and he has been wonderful company.

Vito is still in Ischia for another month, so it will be very quiet here. Luckily, I have my cats and dog for company. I will have time to help Michael remodel his guest house. Marc and I have been there for the past 2 nights and it has been fun working with both boys. So far, the sheet rock has gone up beautifully except for one small incident. By mistake I shoved my hand through a wall. Luckily I was wearing my huge Tiffany gold Peretti cuff, so it actually saved my wrist from a huge bruise. Jewelry that looks good and serves a purpose…It doesn’t get much better. I have blisters on my palms from the hard work. I love it.

I have been thinking about the lady who wrote about how to spot a fake on ebay. I am going to write more about that this evening. Its such a huge problem and getting bigger everyday. I’m convinced that ebay is making a safe haven for counterfeiters and getting rid of the people who sell the real thing. I was told a few days ago that it wasn’t ebays idea to give me listing limits, but rather it came from Tiffany. Ebay claims Tiffany&Co is upset about my listings. They claim its copy write infringement. Really?? I don’t use their pictures or descriptions. Where did that come from?? So, I sent Tiffany an email asking if this was true and why they did this. Have not heard one word from them. Ebay keeps changing their story and Tiffany ignores me unless I’m shopping. I’m going to get a complex pretty soon.
