Description

HELLO...I AM ALWAYS GLAD TO COMBINE SHIPPING---BUY 1 ITEM OR 100 IN ANY GIVEN WEEK---
PAY ONLY ONCE FOR SHIPPING
!!    CONSIDERING THIS, I RARELY MAIL WINNINGS NEXT DAY AFTER PURCHASE BUT OFTEN WAIT A FEW DAYS TO ALLOW BUYERS TO MAKE MORE PURCHASES OF NEWLY LISTED ITEMS IF DESIRED,  WHICH CAN BE ADDED TO THE ONE PACKAGE GOING OUT, SAVING BUYERS FROM FURTHER SHIPPING COSTS...SO PATIENCE IS A VIRTUE AND I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR COURTESY IN WAITING!
****PLEASE NOTE:
MY "DAY JOB" REQUIRES TRAVEL AT TIMES...OCCASIONALLY I AM AWAY FROM HOME AND UNABLE TO SHIP PACKAGES FOR AT MOST 4-5 BUSINESS DAYS (OTHER THAN VACATIONS)....FOR THIS REASON MY
HANDLING TIME IS SET FOR UP TO 5 BUSINESS DAYS
TO ALLOW ME TO FULFILL ORDERS IN A TIMELY WAY IN THE FEW INSTANCES WHERE I'M AWAY FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD....
USUALLY I SHIP THE 2ND OR 3RD DAY AFTER PURCHASE FOR THE ABOVE REASONS.  SO IF THIS METHOD IS A CONCERN TO YOU, YOU WILL NEED TO ALTER YOUR EXPECTATION A BIT.
TO THE WINNER OF MULTIPLE ITEMS--
PLEASE DELAY SENDING PAYMENT IF BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM PER WEEK SO THAT I CAN ADJUST THE TOTAL FOR COMBINED SHIPPING COST FOR ALL ITEMS.
THANK YOU!!

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BROWSING!!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL...
He Leadeth Me
In pastures green?
Not always; sometimes He
who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me
In many ways where heavy shadows be.
Out of the sunshine warm and soft and bright...
Out of the sunshine into the darkest night,
I oft would faint with sorrow and affright,
Only for this...I know He holds my hand;
so whether in the green or desert land
I trust although I may not understand.
And by still waters?
No, not always so;
Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow,
And o'er my soul the waters and billows go.
But when the storms beat loudest and I cry
aloud for help, the Master standeth by
And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I."
Above the tempest wild I hear Him say,
Beyond this darkness lies a perfect day.
In every path of thine I lead the way.
So whether on the hilltops high and fair
I dwell, or in the sunless valleys where
The shadows lie...what matters?  He is there.
And more than this, where'er the pathway lead
He gives to me no helpless broken reed,
But His own hand, sufficient for my need.
So where He leads me, I can safely go,
And in the blest hereafter I shall know
Why in His wisdom, He hath led me so.
