OUR MAUI VACATION

My husband, Nick, and I celebrated our 30th Anniversary in LaHaina, Maui
on September 11, 2006. We returned to Maui with both our 25 yr old son and 22 yr old daughter along for the trip two years later...September 11, 2008.
The first trip I went in a wheelchair and on crutches, much in need of a knee replacement. My poor hubby pushed me around that whole island. The second trip I was able to walk everywhere on two new titanium knees and enjoyed the trip with my kids. We even experienced the LaHaina Zip Line Tour where we all slid down a cable from one platform to another 8 times overlooking the Maui and the Pacific Ocean. Awesome!

MY "HOMESPUN for the HOLIDAYS" BOUTIQUE

Hello and Welcome!
Let me tell you a little about myself....
I have a home-based business called "Collectibles by Joan" located in Palm Desert, here is sunny Southern California. I have been sewing for over 40 years as a professional seamstress, doll maker, doll costumer, and primitive crafter. I am the leader of our local co-op of crafters here in the desert with over 35 members. Each Fall-Winter season we hold a holiday craft boutique set up for 4 days in my home and privately invite a mailing list of over 2000 enthusiastic buyers. The rest of the year is spent building inventory for the different holidays as well as year round themes.
I offer many of my primitive creations on Ebay under the user name VintageKeepsakeTrunk and I also have another name "dollcraftersewing" where I list my one-of-a-kind complete ensembles for collectible dolls of the 1950's. I enjoy doing both and it keeps me hopping! I love sewing and designing as it is my "therapy" that sees me through daily chronic pain which helps me to keep my mind on creating and keep a positive outlook.
I take pleasure in accepting special orders and I can be reached anytime at my email address: gaminervini@aol.com if you have a special need.
