Wow, 4 parties in one month sounds like a whole load of work. How will you cope with making all the stock? And how much stock did you feel was right to take on the night? Did you have duplicates, in case things on the table sold? Or do you think duplicates kind of downgrades the one-off, hand crafted feel of your work?

I've been offered one nearer Christmas and like you said Lindy, I am wondering how I'm going to make enough quality stock

at these types of party i tend to sell a lot of my cheaper charm bracelets and Necklaces these are threaded and dare i say i use chepaer beads and findings but they are my bread and butter range and they sell like hot cakes i always have a huge stock of them although i am beginning to despise making them but last year when the the youngest was a home they where easy to do. I always have a stand with my silverwork on and this does get a lot of attention and people take my card to give to Oh to buy off the website x

I do find that i make most of my sales at these parties.. finding it very slow off the website.... Do you have a website ???

I've thought of parties but I'm a bit wary - I'm okay once I'm at a place but in the preceeding days I get my knickers in a right twist and make myself ill at the thought of it.

i have only held one party but that was before ihad really started to make the jewellery, so it was my cards, candles and sweetie bouquets, but i did make sales of £125 so i was very chuffed, but i only did it cos the lady whose house i went to had offered to hold it for me and invite her friends. Off my own back, i dont see another one happening, i just dont have lots of friends, as apart from the net, i lead a pretty solitary existance.
