For the holidays or permanently?

WOW! A lot of competition out there!

[Sunnycorle]

For good, just looked at it on the Chicago Tribune page. Wow. Sign of the times i guess.

They were bought out by Avon a few years ago.

Are they still going to sell via home parties or is the entire company going out of business? I never bought any of their jewelry, as I prefer to buy real sterling silver or 14k gold, but their designs were beautiful. I was always hoping they'd start a line of real silver jewelry.

I think Silpada was the one bought by Avon.

Oh, and it looks like it is for good. If you order through a rep, you can get 50% off.

I was invited to a home party years ago....when the Q was selling real sterling silver very cheap....or should I say reasonable...

Well this Lia Sophia was pretty....but way more expensive then what I could buy from the Q. including s&h....

I never attend any home parties...unless its a friend...and many times I say no to them....anyway I had a terrible time trying to find something to buy because I hated putting out the money for non-sterling silver....

I bought some small thing...hated myself for not being able to say I didn't want anything...and I never wore the piece of jewelry when I received it...

Silpada then bought themselves back from Avon about a year ago at a lower price. Interesting.
