[quote=Anonymous]I am a current stylist who is approaching one year.  I did go in eyes wide open.  I am glad I like jewelry.  I am grateful to every person who has supported me (and yes, your friends are your "list" as far as shows).  I am blessed with a full time job that I love, and frankly, if I did not have the income I do, my husband and I would not have done this.  I still owe myself several hundred dollars, which again, was all my choice.  As I prepare to sell pieces and exit, I realize I love most of them and love wearing them.  But many writers have stated the sad truth. No friendship is worth that awkwawrd moment when you ask your best friend to have a repeat show and she says "I think most people are tapped out".  That was pretty much it.  Knowing what she thought. And was too polite to say.  It's why I love her.  So, I went in of my own accord. I commend anyone who does well at this, because there are people who do. They do not reveal the truth about the initial or repeat spend, nor that your samples are not "fresh" for long.  Or until you sell a lot, those pretty look books are not free. Or that I am able to see the huge dip in quality; I only ordered a few fall items, just a representative sample for the few shows I will do to close up.  you are correct in moving on. se out at the end of this year.  I never felt like anyone should buy, which is probably why I've had some very good months, but many where I didn't work, because I learned the hard way, but early, tht if you ask about a show and hear cricketand since I have a carrer that is a true blessing, both in terms of the paycheck and the satisfaction I get from my work, I just can't ask someone making far less than I do "how about a bracelet to go with that".  So I leave many dollars poorer, but rich for a new experience and very grateful to the friends and family who support me personally and gave of their time and money to host parties. I am sorry I became that person who created those uncomfortable moments, and I am also grateful to the writers on blogs like these for ratifying my true thoughts in deciding to leave with my head up.[/quote]
