What a sweet husband! Keep him! I hope your migraines improve BTW. You are in my prayers.

Bexs50: If you hate the apron why did you bid? Just curious.

I have purchased discontinued cookbooks and things like that on eBay but actually LAUGH about people buying current products there - they are paying too much especially with the shipping that's tacked on. I feel that if I had the chance to earn something and I didn't I don't even want it by any other means - it wouldn't mean anything then (to me).


No, no, no...love the dots apron, hate the denim.

ohhhh...... Now it makes sense!
 
I have bought old SB off Ebay. I would never sell anything PC b/c I have friends that would easily buy it from me. I have sold other things on there.

I personally do not care if they are selling retired items I just do not like the current items being sold.

I have the scoop!! My husband bought it for me as a suprise. I told him several days ago that someone was selling the cutest PC dots apron on ebay. He knows I have a "thing" for dots and have been fighting with my migraines. (I am even involved in a study to try to treat them). Anyway, to cheer me up, he decided to get it for me. I am a new consultant-less than 1 month-and really don't have much of anything to start with. I am sorry if he upset anyone.


Awww, knowing how horrible migraines can be (being a sufferer myself), even I am happy you/your husband won! And I wanted that apron pretty badly!!:D Here's hoping that you feel better soon. Keep us updated on how the study goes for you. I know there have been posts from other cheffers who have problems with migraines, too.
 
I have bought lot of supplies on there before and even aprons because I absolutely hate Denim and it seems directors get the cute, colored more trendy type who don't end up wanting it... so why not!? I don't see any big deal and the aprons don't say "Director" specificially on it so anyone should be able to buy and wear it. I'm not ashamed I have other aprons beside the denim! (A celebrations, the black 25th anniversary and a green one) and got them all from ebay. I just would never sell current or buy current items as an active consultant! JMO
 
If I remember correctly, I got my pink<-------HWC apron on a paperwork order a few years ago. The hat came from VIP.This year, though, we have to earn them.
 
I wore my dots apron yesterday to a vendor event, and everyone loved it, and wanted to buy one. Then, I had my blue water bottle on the table (another gift from leadership) and someone picked it up,and walked off with it, thinking it was a FREE giveaway. Another woman caught her before I did,and got it back. I might have had to get into a catfight over that one !!! I have had more response from my blue bottle than ANY of the clothing I wear. I wonder if it is available for sale.

I had the best results from the vendor fair. It was for a large retirement community, with nursing home and it was Employee Appreciation day, and I got 8 bookings and 1 recruit lead, and $70 in sales. There were only 4 other vendors besides 2 uniform companies there, and it will be a quarterly event. You all might want to look into somethinglike that in your area !!

I think it is way cuter than the denim too. Wish they would make them available for everyone so we looked better! (sorry if you like the denim) I would probably actually wear the apron, plus it cordinates really well!

You're gonna be pretty busy those days before and after the trip.

I've got two shows booked already for early March, just for this promo.

Maybe we should ask Greg to add a pink ribbon to our ID squares...
<---------
for those of us who don't mind telling the world that we're survivors. At least, for the months of March, April and May. (Which is why I'm such a fanatic about HWC month.)

Maybe I'll put on in my sig line, anyway.
