Lilly Vittetow, Mark & Joie
(Click on picture to read entire Intro)

My name is Lilly, short for Lillian and we live in Northern IL.  I've been married to a great and interesting guy, Mark, since Sept. 1991. Yep, 19 years and never a dull moment!  I have 2 stepsons who were great forms of birth control as little boys; Zach 25 living in PA and in the Navy since he was 18 and Luke 23 who is here in IL and is a mechanic for private airplanes.  We have a wonderful daughter, Joie who was born hearing impaired in March of 1999. Before becoming a stay-at-home mom, I was a credit (commercial) manager.  Our family quality time requires a lot of time in the woods enjoying nature. Jeepin' is about as addicting as Vintage Jewelry. Hubby has a shop, OverKill Off Road, and builds Jeep stuff for people that really use their Jeeps! We have 7 different Jeeps currently, 3 run.
When we decided to try for our girl, I had to quit working due to pre-existing insurance stuff.  Figuring it would take forever to become pregnant at 29 yrs old, I needed something to do so I started selling stuff on ebay.  Soon ran out of stuff around the house so went to garage sales to find interesting things.  Eventually figured out that there was a market for the old jewelry and it was an easy ship, so went searching for it.  Then noticed marks and kind people would tell me about what I had up.  Bought books, searched the net, talked to my mom (who had a bunch of old jewelry and laughed at me), found JR! I stopped selling on ebay a few years ago and made my own site.  I love the research and the hunting and finding of the jewels but it so much fun to wear them and give little mini history lessons to anyone that will stand still long enough!  btw- it only took 2 months to become pregnant with Joie...

Lilly's Special Offer for JR Only:
10% off all orders over $30 and free insured shipping from my website.  I can refund the difference with a note in the payment or you can email me with the item(s) and I can send an invoice with the corrected amounts.  I also will put things on hold if you would like to send a check!
