　　Description

　　Up for purchase is a miniature original oil on board painting. This darling little one-of-a-kind painting depicts a tree in the yard next to the side of either a brown barn or old house with a couple of sacks full of "food" in the grass by the building. It measures 7" across by 5" in height, it is hand-signed "Bea Johnston" in the paint in the lower right-hand corner of the painting. 

　　This cute little painting is in very good condition, especially for the age, which I guess to be about 30 years old. See photos for details. From a smoke-free environment, one owner. Shipping is QUICK - I ship within one business day of received payment. Any questions, please feel free to ask at any time. Buy with confidence, your satisfaction is guaranteed by my flexible return policy and 100% positive feedback score on over 1500 items sold in more than eleven years on eBay.

　　Payment

　　With rare exception, I do my listings as Buy it Now with an option to make a best offer. Although I generally price my items lower than the other listings for the same or a comparable item, I consider all reasonable offers. However, if I have only had something listed for a day or less, I will usually not accept anything less than a dollar or two off, because my experience tells me that my item will sell for full price if I wait a few hours, or even minutes.

　　Per eBay policy, payments are due immediately and the item will remain available for others to purchase until it is paid for. Best Offers accepted on Buy it Now items are also due immediately. Payment on auction items is due within two (2) days after bidding closes and my eBay account is set to automatically open an unpaid item case if payment is not made within this time. If the buyer has requested more time from me, I will ask eBay to hold off on opening  a case. If circumstances are such that you are unable to pay within this time, please let me know before bidding or making an offer and I will be happy to grant a reasonable extension of time in which to pay if I am able to. Communication is the key to a successful transaction for both parties.

　　I will accept any form of payment that doesn't violate eBay policy. 

　　Shipping

　　I will gladly ship items internationally. Please note that when an item says "Free Shipping", this means for domestic shipping within the 48 contiguous states only; however, upon request, I will be happy to reduce the international shipping charge appropriately to reflect the free domestic shipping as offered. If there is no pricing available on the listing for shipping to your country, just ask and I can provide you with a quote. I will combine multiple items for savings on shipping when practically possible. Items which qualify as Media Mail will be sent as such and items that weigh less than 16 ounces packed will go First Class; otherwise, I will send the item by  the least expensive option - FedEx, USPS Priority or UPS. My price quote is an average of the cost to ship to Seattle or New York and the cost to another city in Texas or a neighboring state (all shipping services charge based on distance, in addition to package size).

　　I do not charge handling fees or for packing and shipping materials that I use. They are usually recycled materials, in the interest of saving our planet, but they are clean, and I pack my items well. On fragile items, I usually insure them - except when the price is less than $50, and the shipping service includes that coverage (USPS Priority and FedEx both do). Shipping costs have gone up, and even though I pay eBay fees on shipping, I still charge the estimated calculator's price for eBay discounted shipping. I often lose money on shipping but on the rare occasion that the shipping cost paid is substantially more than the actual cost, I will refund that difference to the buyer. If requested, I have no problem getting an exact shipping price to a buyer's zip code and adjust the shipping cost accordingly.

　　I ship within one to two business days (whatever the listing says) from receipt of payment, sometimes sooner. My items ship from Houston, Texas, where they are also available for local pick up (and the shipping cost will be removed). Tracking is provided on all shipped items. You will receive an email from eBay when the item ships, provided you have your eBay notifications set to "on". You can also click on the Tracking Number on the item's description page or order details to view shipping status. Don't freak out if the tracking still shows no movement a day or two later, the USPS hub doesn't always scan the item. Please do, however contact me if the package is very late or shows no movement so I can look into it.

　　Terms of Sale

　　Returns accepted within thirty (30) days of transaction. Return shipping paid by buyer unless I made an error that caused a misrepresentation of the item, in which case I will pay the return shipping, by reimbursement or I can send a return label. If you have buyer's remorse or just a change of mind, or in the case of a purchase resulting from a buyer's failure to read the listing description, I must require the buyer to pay return shipping. Additionally, the refund will be for the purchase price of the item only and will not include the shipping that I have already paid.

　　Items kept longer than 30 days, not in their original condition, or which have been damaged due to buyer's negligence or misuse will not be accepted back.

　　For these reasons it is important to ask all questions you may have before purchasing an item. If your remorse kicks in before I've shipped the item, I have no problem canceling the transaction.

　　About Us

　　I do my best to describe all items as honestly and accurately as possible. Although I'm not an expert on everything I list, I take great time and care in researching the items I sell in order to determine the item's origin, age, background and other relevant details (more time than I should, in fact). Usually I get a jump start from my mother who is a seasoned garage saler and thrift store shopper. She has been collecting antiques, curios, knick-knacks and other

　　collectibles for over 70 years and she has an eagle eye when it comes to finding the valuable and desired things among the junk. She is often the one who originally purchased the item I have been given to sell. In fact, aside from the electronics and video game-related items I sell when my gamer sons decide to switch or upgrade consoles, and the rock memorabilia from my formative years, 90% of the things I list come from my childhood home where my hoarder/collector parents still live.

　　Pictures shown in the listing are of the actual item for sale and I try hard to take photographs that accurately and clearly represent the item. They are considered part of the description. If you need or would like a picture of a part of the item that is not shown, just ask. I do my best not to misrepresent the items I sell and I try to provide as much detail in the item's description as possible, but if there is something else you want to know, just ask.

　　My eBay store has been in business for over 11 years and I work very hard to keep my buyers happy and maintain my perfect feedback rating of 100%. If for ANY reason you are not happy with your purchase, PLEASE give me a chance to make it right BEFORE leaving less than 5 star detail ratings or negative or neutral feedback! Please take a moment to leave me positive feedback and I will do likewise, as I always do regardless.

　　All items are cleaned, tested and shipped from a smoke-free environment. Most of them are one-owner. All items are guaranteed to work or you will receive a full refund immediately.
