Default 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, 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.

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.
