Re: Rules??Well, I am thinking about selling Watkins Spices along with PC, and I also have a wedding name plaque business. I was wondering if I can make mention of either of these during a show. They would obviously be quite secondary and the most I'd probably do is use something like Watkins vanilla in a recipe and let people know I sell it,...and as to the name plaque thing, I'd like to set one out at wedding showers and let people know I sell them as well. Is there a way I could do this that would not go against the agreement??
