ChickyD aka Debra says:Ditto to Harriet and Anita! I’ve been hesitant to attempt to sell anything at school because one of our teachers re-sells extremely cheap jewelry…earrings and necklace for $8. I just made up my mind I was going to bring mine and go for it anyway. Besides, my stuff looks VERY different from hers. I sold several things immediately, in spite of my higher prices. Tuesday, I got really brave and brought in a copper cuff with glass pearls and Swavorski crystals. I didn’t sell it to anybody who works at my school, but a teacher from another school stopped by and bought the cuff plus the matching necklace and earrings. Yes, we definitely need the validation!!!!!
Boy, this was long!
