Taking it to a new level

I'm a woman who is a sucker for anything pretty, sparkles, twinkles, shines, you get the idea. The girl who did my makeup for my wedding posted something on facebook about being a "stylist" for Stella & Dot, a company I had never heard of before. I checked out the page and low and behold it was fabulous JEWELRYl pretty, sparkly, shiny jewelry. It immediately reminded me of my favorite store Anthropologie and I told her to put me down for hosting a "trunk show." 

 

I had a Sunday brunch and my friends and family came over and we tried on jewelry, ate fresh, yummy breads and chit chatted. Little did I know I was about to walk away with $265 of free jewelry. I couldn't believe it, as if having parties and hanging out with the girls doesn't make me happy enough but then I got free jewelry. It was love at first site, I signed up to be a stylist a week later.

This is definitely taking my hobbies to a new level. I fill my spare time with scrapbooking, photography and the occasional charity work but now I'm essentially running a business. This is some commitment...to myself. And yes, I am a business owner because that is how the United States is going to tax me, so you know its for real.

Oh yeah, Tina Fey was wearing Stella & Dot jewelry on last week's new episode of 30 Rock. I don't really believe in signs but if I did, that would be one.
