How does Harry Potter fit into the Medieval decorating scheme?

Oh I just can’t resist including Harry Potter here.   Ok, you’re probably thinking what does Harry Potter have to do with Gothic, he’s all about magic.   There is nothing more that conjures up medieval or gothic more than Harry Potter.  When you watch the films or read the books, you actually feel like you’re there.  The decoration is dark and drab, yes, but YOU  don’t need to decorate that way in your home.

If you need ideas on how to decorate your home, or you’re just exploring what gothic or medieval is all about, I think that Harry Potter may be one of the best ways to see.  Take the Hogwarts Castle, the high ceilings and beams, torches on the wall, colors of the walls, the shape of the windows, the pictures that serve as doors to the rooms.  Ok yes you may say that the lighting is dark and drab, but remember that Harry Potter is a movie, YOUR home can have tons of gothic / medieval and victorian elements and still be airy and light.  I believe that airy and light plus gothic can go together.  Let loose your imagination…..

Competition on eBay is quite something. Everyone wants to sell their items. Sometimes it’s not easy for the seller to keep their income level or increase their income level.

So what can a seller do to have more eyes looking at their listings? Why they should auction bump their auctions!!

What is auction bumping, where do I go to do this and how does it work? you’re asking………

Auction bumping is a free program eBay sellers use.  There is no downloads and it’s quick as a blink of an eye.

Decorating The Medieval  Victorian Way is just the website you need. Looking under the categories link, you will see Auction Bump~~FREE.  Thasi is where it all starts.

There are two versions of the auction bump.  There is the original auction bump where you need to add your photo, add your title and add the item number that you get from your eBay listing.  There are many places offering the older version.  Do not bypass these sites, you will be missing out on many views and potential customers.

The next generation of auction bumps is called the speedy bump because it is very speedy. With just ONE click of your mouse, you can add your item.  In a matter of seconds you are done.   Everything shows up, the picture, the price, the end date.  People can click to buy it now, or they can click on watch or they can visit your item.

You should take the time and read the requirements…some allow only 3 or 4 postings and then you have to wait until your item is bumped off the grid before adding more. Some allow you to add 3 or 4 items per day. But you should always pay attention to what you are listing…there is no sense in listing the same item 3 times in a row.

It is extremely easy to use and my sales have been greatly helped, and the best part? it’s free. As an eBay seller you have absolutely nothing to lose and much to gain in terms of traffic and money. This is also another way to have repeat customers. You will see more bids and more sales.

Always keep in mind…family friendly, these sites are NOT places for pornography or violence such as guns.  Please list your items wisely.

This is just another way to drive traffic your way and it’s all free.   So come do the “bump” and have fun.

Hi, I’m Ann Mary.    This website is stocked full of information. Grab yourself a good cup of coffee or something else you like and a comfortable chair and stay awhile.

“Strangers are only friends we haven’t met yet”.

I don’t remember who said that, but I’ve always liked that saying and when you think about it, the saying is true. I hope to get to know you, maybe learn something from you and I hope to maybe bring something to you also.

Yes you read the title right.  I  am an eBayer Googler.  Now what is an eBayer Googler you are asking.  LOL  well it’s someone who always Googles information about a product  and then goes and buys it on eBay.  I am sure I have perfected this technique.

I live in McWatters, in the province of Quebec in Canada and  I’m a stay-at-home mom with two little boys.  I’m fully bilingual in both English and French, English being my native language.

I’m pretty well into almost everything.  I love to read while taking a hot bath.  I love to cook.  I love to garden, oh how I love to garden.  Now that’s something I am so so so passionate about.  I’m also an eBay seller under the name   lady_goth**   .  If you’d like you can read my world here.

Here in my part of Canada.  (I’m 2 hours away from the Ontario border),  the spring starts in the early early part of March and we have beautiful weather up until the end of October.

When I’m on the net, which is like almost 85% of my day in between dishes, the house hold chores  and everything in between.  My yahoo is open from morning until night every day and I check my emails, chat with friends, read news, and take notes on everything that catches my eyes.  My computer desk is actually buried under mounds of pieces of paper here and there all about this or that.

I also love the Medieval / Gothic period (depending on how you look at it)  and the Victorian  period. Somehow for me, the terms Medieval and Gothic just go together. I love iron works (gates, plant hangers, urns, statues, gargoyles and gryphons and such).  I love castles, the architecture and decorations (the rich always could afford to decorate lavishly).

I also love everything to do with Harry Potter.  I spend tons of time just paying attention to the decorating details, all the teeny details that went into making the world of Harry Potter.  The next step is to visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando Resort.  I am always talking to others about decorating and watching movies and that’s where I get all of my  inspiration for this website

I hope you enjoy this site as much as I enjoy researching Victorian, Goth and Medieval times. If you love the Medieval, Gothic or Victorian period, you’ve come to a wonderful website. There is so much to discover. All the information contained in these web pages will give you much food for thought. I’m JUST getting started.

Well I guess that’s about it for the moment.  I hope to count you as a friend. May you find all that you are looking for. Thanks for stopping by and having a look. Have a wonderful day.
