Does anyone sell Lia Sophia jewelry?
Posted By: new advisor on 2008-12-08
In Reply to:
Just curious if anyone sells Lia Sophia or how you make out with it moneywise. I just signed up and it seems like a pretty good deal. I hosted a party and then decided to sign on after seeing the amount of commission you could make. I had 6 people at my party and took 4 or 5 outside orders. I think the lady made about $200 off my party, plus I got a bunch of free/discounted jewelry. Is it really that easy?
I have 4 parties booked in January and 1 more yet to schedule. I'm hoping to bring in about $1000 per party and 2 parties a week, so maybe $600 a week. Is this realistic? Anyone else been doing this for a while and can offer any advice?

Not to worry, Sophia you shall be....Mommy and I exchange roles of Dorothy and Sophia...Ya just never know who's gonna win on a daily basis in the battle of wits.
Sophia...sm
I love GG too, watch it every morning, probably have see every episode 100 times or more, but never gets old. *Sophia* was the best and I am sure will be truly missed. I had heard at one point that she had Parkinson's...anyone know if that's true?

My dear friend's chow, I had to share, just love this picture.
I would sell it on ebay, it would sell like -sm
a hotcake! Then possibly he could donate half of the money to a charity he likes and keep the other half as his prize for the contest, best of both worlds. This way he could maybe get himself a couple games with the money.

Check out ebay, just type in bakelite and check all categories. I actually did this today when I read your post. You can get some ideas there.
Eye Jewelry (heard of this?)
I hope this link works -- Have you heard of this before? It is "eye" jewelry. Jewelry that hangs from a thin wire from your contacts - it freaks me out LOL (I do, however, kind of like the contacts with the crystals in them)
Scroll down a little bit and there is a youtube video of someone wearing it
beaded jewelry sm
I did start this hobby and used only the best beads, there are a lot of online companies who will sell to you but I found after much expense and hard work that "everyone" is doing it and I attended a few craft shows but they were overrun with people who all made beaded jewelry. I don't know, perhaps I'm sick of working with my hands, it went pretty fast and I was proud of myself, but ended up giving it all away as gifts and gave up on trying to sell it. It's all the rage now to be taking beading classes and there are just too many selling it. If I'm going to sit all those hours, I make more in transcription and feel like I cheapened myself by getting into the "jewelry industry." Just my take on it, as I said, I used expensive beads, sterling silver clasps, and spent a lot of money which I did not get back. I have the most necklaces in town and I don't even wear jewelry -- too much "clanking, too much noise." It is also very addicting, "just one more necklace" and you end up with a hundred. Also, I pictured people walking down the aisle in church and the necklace breaking - so I was reluctant to sell them! Just my craziness, I guess. I did take a few lessons - $$$ - about $40 a pop only to see it repeated or in one case, "copied" by another crafter - that really p-hissed me off, that was my original creation after all! See what others have to say, perhaps you will like it.
New find on the jewelry side....
I posted below when asking about Bakelite I thought I had and now looking on the web I find out I have even more, that being cellaloid jewelry and cameos, possibly a Bakelite radio that belonged to my father and some other jewelry. I am so excited because I can hardly wait to see what others would pay for it. So glad I found out from others about not having at yard sale! I would have really sold myself short. BYW, does anyone out there have any of the above mentioned and if so, have you sold or know your price on these particular types of jewelry. Thanks!
Does anyone make beaded jewelry?
I am interested in making beaded jewelry but not sure where to start. Do any of you make beaded jewelry? If so, where do you find the best prices for beads? Do you make jewelry to sell or just for fun? Thanks for the info.
My DH wears no jewelry whatsover - sm
he also has a big thing with tags and scent too, very sensitive skin, not one shirt of his still has a tag in it. When we were first married he would wear his ring when I forced him too in social situations, but just was not worth the hassle and he is not one to keep quiet about his wife and family, so I have no worries on that score. He really cannot wear it at work either as he puts his hands in high voltage tanks and one guy tried it once with his ring on, almost lost his finger when it arc welded to the tank and burnt him really badly, so that is a good reason not to wear it to work. Also he is rarely anywhere without us, and if so it is usually with guys, no women, and they all know he is married with 2 kids. The other point being even if a man wears a ring he can still cheat! I don't always where my ring either though I do wear it.
Really amazing, isn't it? Guess she loves real jewelry or something.

Beaded jewelry... Most craft stores have supplies.
If you have a local craft store, that's a great place to start. Also, if you Google beading jewelry, you can find video how-to's.
I thought it was fun at first, but I haven't picked it up again. The beads are intricate and I found the major problem was size of the actual jewelry.
It would make great gifts though.
i think the gift card or jewelry. girls at that age are sooo picky. most want $ so they can pick o

If parts are that expensive, sell her to the mechanic that gave you the quote. He at least will give you the amount you still owe and he can part it out.
I disagree. I still have my class ring (class of 1985). It's tucked away in my jewelry...
box. My fingers are too fat to wear it now, but it has sentimental value. Mine was just a metal ring as well and it still looks great.
I gave my class ring to a boyfriend back in the day and it wore it on his pinky. Then he lost it on the beach at the local lake. We ended up breaking up not too long after that and I thought I would never see my ring again. Then one day I'm reading the local paper and there's an add that said "LORI -- did you lose your class ring at city lake? Call... and describe the ring." I called the number and described the ring and it was mine. Thankfully I had had my full name inscribed inside the band of my class ring! The guy that found it was this little old man who had a one of those metal detectors and he spent his retirement days scanning beaches, parks, etc for change and what other treasures he could find. I couldn't thank him enough! He wouldn't take any kind of reward for finding it.
Just thought I'd share my class ring story. I feel that class rings, class keys (Do they still do that?), and yearbooks are such an important part of the high school years, but that's just me.
to sell more books
She wants to create more hype about the books. I agree, I don't think it was at all appropriate to discuss that in relation to what is marketed as a children's book.
At least you have kids trying to sell them to you....sm
around here we'll oftentimes see the scout "moms" with tables set up outside of Wal-Mart and grocery stores selling the cookies for the troops and have maybe only 1 scout around at that time.
We also sold them for 50 cents/box when I was a kid. I still love to get the thin mints and freeze them, then pull the box out on a hot day in July. Ahhhh -heaven!!!
sell the sale
As you are shoving the leftovers in the fridge say,
"Amazing sale on turkeys at such and such, you should go get one!"
My mom used to sell it years ago and
when I decided to do something to pad my income, I asked her about. She said she made good money back then, but so much has changed and the people she buys from now say it's hardly worth it.
After doing some research on my own, I found another direct sales company that offered their reps more with less out of pocket and less financial responsibility. I sell jewelry to people at home shows. I signed up in January and since then, I have made about $7,000 in profit (about $1000 extra a month). The benefits are that the customers pay up front. The customers handle their own returns/exchanges. Everything is backed with a lifetime guarantee, so no complaints if they don't like it. The orders are delivered to the home of the hostess, so no deliveries.
The startup cost is zero. I earned my display kit free with my own home show and it also came with enough paper supplies to get me started. Since then, I have invested in some marketing materials, etc, but it's still very profitable. I really enjoy the money I make and a couple of nights out a week with the "girls"!
If you'd be interested in hearing more, you can email me privately. If you decide to go with Avon, good luck, and remember -- you only get out of it what you're willing to invest in it!

I would love to sell the baskets
but she does visit from time to time. I am not sure I could get away with it. My husband is such a peacekeeper, when I talk to him about it he just nods his head and says "I know". Thanks for the suggestions, and Misha thanks for the laugh.
No don’t have to sell but this property is 1 big headache
We have to go every month to cut the grass (6 acreas) and I told my sweet hubby today if something happened to me, hello, he would have to fool with all that. I have no use for it but have had since 2004 now, did not make up mind to sell until about a year ago. I told the realtor just to let me know when he got other offers..

yes, they sell it all over online. but what does that have to do with mums?

Publix is our big supermarket and they sell
rule for Publix Grocery stores is - AFTER 2 HOURS, if the chicken(s) is not sold - they throw them out!! They cannot risk selling to the public if the chicken has been sitting cooked in their cases MORE than 2 hours.
Take that under advisement please....and do not eat that chicken nor serve it....

had a neat trick - there is something easy to use that you use to fill in the panel "creases" (kind of like caulk) then sand it smooth when dry, paint over it, and it looks like regular walls. Maybe you could check the HGTV website and see if you can find it if interested. Otherwise I agree with the Kilz - that stuff is great but SMELLY!
They do sell weight control cat food.

Waste of your money. They sell you into this idea that sm
you "save" money over time, but you really don't. I'd be careful. Seriously. Heard of some bad experiences with this. Think about it. You pay ALL this money every single month like a huge loan payment and then you get to take a 2 week vacation anywhere they have resorts. Most of the time they are not flexible on dates. You know, we sat through one at Disney and I thought in the beginning, hey, this isn't such a bad idea. I get to come down here anytime I want! Yes! I will pay 500.00 a month. Where do I sign?! and then the guy looked at me and said, "Um, maam, you can come down for 1 week any time during the year for as long as you 'own' the timeshare." I almost spit my Coke all over him. No way is this a good idea.
I have. See him on infomercials in the middle of the morning trying to sell is nonsense...
to fill is how pockets. Just one example of his "natural cures"....any physician will confirm, with 100% certainty, that patients with end-stage renal disease who receive dialysis 3 x weekly can not be cured by KT's natural methods.

one week out of the year? I'm not young. What if I only have 10 years left? Or less?
I agree; also you don't sell stuff like that at yard sales.
Save it for ebay or something like that. Tough lesson learned.
Ask the Department Stores that sell them. They often have travel sizes. NM

99-cent stores in Houston sell milk....
any fat content, 2 gallons for $3. Might be worth a shot if making cheese, though I don't know what the yield would be when converting liquid to solid. Sure beats the $4+ per pound price of cheese in the grocery store.
I seriously doubt they sell. She's out of luck unless you want to make her a bootleg copy which

I have to disagree. EVERY grocery store chain does NOT sell gay & lesbian material.

WalMart sell homosexual books & videos. I won't shop at any store
and it's not because I'm judgemental of anyone. God will judge in the end. But, I have a right to shop at stores that do not sell such items. And, for the poster who said homosexuals buy condoms...heterosexuals buy condoms, too! For example, my brother and his wife use condoms because they don't want to have anymore children but also don't want to have surgery. For the person who posted that the Bible was written by man, let me enlighten you. The Bible was written by man through God. That means that, while man wrote the text, God was who gave man the words to write it. This issue for me is not JUST about WalMart, it is about all businesses who sell homosexual material.

Do you stencil? Walmart and Michael's locally sell stencils and the dabber brushes.
It is not hard. I did a design of ivy and then glazed over it (suggestions on type to use from Lowe's) and then found a shower curtain that had the same ivy, material with ivy and light flowers to trim out some towels. Looks pretty darn nice, if I do say so myself.
