Have you shopped at Schnoop before? Experience? "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shalt be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then flingest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it."

Jewelry design is what I do so it's kinda funny for me to buy one at all but they usually have nice sterling silver in simple designs. Alot times I can use the jewery in a design of my own. That argument worked for my husband.

I sell at a local flea market and I do home parties for my friends and family. I am by no means making a living at it. My husband says it is something to keep me busy and pay for some of my shopping addiction. Its a good thing he loves me!

My parents make faberge style jewelry and are now expanding to other styles (which I can't find any pictures of online  ) Found some links to their designs on ebay (That other people are selling): http://cgi.ebay.com/RUSS...006QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
http://cgi.ebay.com/Fabe...794QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
And I particularly like this seller. He's trying to sell it for $400, when its retail price is no more than $120 (If this is in fact one of my parents' pieces): http://cgi.ebay.com/ENAM...2840QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

That way I can show my wife instead of hiding it  I got the Pokemon game w/extra game from them last time. Worked out OK for me since my kids are into that. Do you have any pics of your jewelry online? Jonrad-Do your parents sell online? If so, pm the address and I will forward to my sister.

Very unlike what I do. I guess what I do is more traditional not quite as creative. But it gives me an outlet. I am posting this link (omg I hope it works) to a website that I sent one of my designs to. This was a gift for one my friends for her birthday. http://www.create-your-s...er_gallery/arcticice.htm

I made it in the middle of July when we were having a heat wave. We had about 8 days of highs above 100 so I was begging for some ice relief. The bracelet actually looked cold to me.

No, they're considering it, but it's very different from what they do now. They sell it to a distributor (essentially, just a middle man) who then sells it to stores. They just started to put a few things online, but it's still in its infancy. But if thing fling wants to try to sell them, they're welcome to contact me  Thanks for the thought though!
