Good Morning All

I am going to put the final protion of my precious jewelry on ebay today, unless I otherwise get a bite elsewhere. I have 70 or 75 pices left, about half amulet purses and earrings. Some of the work is NEW and has been done in the past month. There is soe nice stuff and someone who does shows or has a shop will be very happy to get this at the winner take all price ... go look at it and email me for details ....

Because it worked out for us to do it in one lot, that is what we are going to do again. We know how much money we will lose, but right now, that is not a factor. My sister will do her normal wonderful scanning job and do the ad. She does a good job of this, We just can't split it up into small hunks. it might not all go and right now we need the cash. We are basing our ad on one we already saw for a wholesale lot of jewelry. Seems like this one person does it all the time and it works for her. Rainbow

Rainbow, I've followed your tribulation, and am sorry you're going through all that, but you are very talented! I think this may be the opportunity you need to break out of an old habit! If your sister is doing your web page, she should be looking for work in that area. Either go to the Trader type newspaper, and ad agency, a headhunter, an employment agency - but not as a call center operator, as an internet savvy designer! Unless you live in a very rural place with no industry, she should be able to get work in a heartbeat! Or research on-line web hosting costs so you can print up a little brochure and then go to local companies who you think could improve their sales by having a web presence and sell your sister's design services. Gather statistics - arm yourself with knowledge. On your time, in your way with no boss other than your own conscience.

As far as your bags and jewelry - you have the time right now, sell them individually if you must, but don't go cheap! Do a beautiful layout for each piece, they are lovely! Desperation makes people do unwise things and you have to get a "time perspective" on it all. There WILL be a day not too far in the future, when you will be able to look back on this as a turning point and a blessing. Chart out and type up some of your patterns for the amulet bags. Be professional and spell check! Then submit them with good photos to Sunset or some of the other craft publication companies. OR make your own book! Trade out house cleaning for professional photography if you have to in order to present a saleable book to a publisher. DO NOT belly up and sell the whole lot in a fireside-my-life-is-on-the-rocks-sale. You are better than that and you won't starve. If you have to get aid for a short time do it. Use your free time to pursue a career that will fulfill your soul. Life is too short to panic.

Remember always - "It came to pass" It came to pass in the year 2003... It (troubles) came to pass, it didn't come to stay! Hold your head up! I wish you well.

also look for ad that are asking for Customer Service. You have that kind of experience.

Customer Service is most of what we are lookng for right now and PBX. We really are looking at many avenues. To put a laff spin on this, I am even goig to answer the ad for a "kennel person " at a vet's office ! We havea problem because we signed a non-compete agreement with the old company and we did not know it was being faxed with no explanation to places we've already been nd it have a statement on it, I guess that they will sue anyone who hires us. Since we didn't know it was being dine, there may be some places that didn't hire us due to this. We are taking care of that now, but it set us back. The guy knows this, he's the KING fo jerks.

*chuckle* That is the job I have... if you like animals, take it, because it's fun, short hours, and OK pay. :)

We are doing all we can, but there is more to the story than put up here. Trust me, we are not just putting all of our attempts in one place. And as for making my own book, I have neither the time or necessary skill for that. My stuff can't be charted. To me that is advice better suggestedto someone who has the time, mney and skills and desire for that, which I do not. My money problem is much more immediate , like NOW, than that ! That's why the sale is happenning, also. Rainbow
