I live in the midwest (Kansas City area) and am trying to help organize a spring vendor bazaar thingy. I'm trying to think of various DS companies to invite and I've got a lot, but I can't seem to think of any company that has chocolates, pastries, etc. Does anyone know of one??? Here's a list I've come up with so far:
Premier Jewely (so I can't also have Lia Sophia or Silpada)
Home Interior or now it's Celebrating Home
Creative Memories, Mary Kay (can't have Arbonne or others),
Uppercase Living, PartyLite, Tupperware, Tastefully Simple, Princess House, Close To My Heart, Stampin' Up, Longaberger, Avon, Mia Bella Candles. Any others???? I'm open to lots of suggestions!!!
 
What about Discovery Toys or Usbourne Books?

There is Dove Chocolates now. Not sure of any other food ones. Good luck with it! Looks like you got a nice variety.

Home: Herbalife

Those are my suggestions.
 
What's the name of the bedding company????? I am drawing a blank here.

Why not differerent jewelry companies?? You have Mary Kay and Avon, and are listing Arborne.

Pure Romance???? They can keep it clean!

Tomboy Tools?
 
wine shop at home
southern living at home
at home america
taste of home entertaining
homemade gourmet
& I agree I'd add the other jewelry vendors and Arbonne (you have 2 candle companies)
i wouldn't do 2 of the same company but I would offer all the different vendors
 
Private Quarters is the bedding co.
Fuller Brush
Simply Fun (family games and puzzles)
Traveling VineyardAnd I agree with Teresa - you have 2 companies listed for a couple of product lines, so why not for jewelry or cosmetics/skin care? The jewelry companies have very different product lines and price points.
 
OOOOOPSS maybe it is traveling vineyard and not wine shop at home..... we have had their wine and it was nasty. my DH poured it down the drain, but wine is his hobbythere are some other scrapbook type companies too but can't think of the name.what about F.A.I.T.H. jewelry
 
Signature Homestyles
Wildtree Herbs
Gold Canyon Candles
New Canaan Farms (our absolute favorite gourmet food)

Cool! Thanks for all of the suggestions! As for as duplicate type companies (jewelry, skin care, etc.) I agree having more is fine. BUT.....I'm only helping with this and was told that I couldn't have more of the same. Maybe a little "persuasion" is in order...... :D
