I went to a women's party Friday night.
You know the kind. The hostess gets a present and the larger the sales the larger her bonus.
Pampered Chef
My best friend was having it. One of her friends is a new sales consultant for Pampered Chef and my friend Reechie wanted to help her out since she's been having a rough go in her personal life. I generally would rather poke out my eyes with hot sticks before going to one of these parties, but I love my friend and applauded her desire to help her friend so I wanted to go.
What would I buy I pondered? I don't cook anymore. I have that husband that only eats four things and half of them don't need to be cooked. I thought there wouldn't be anything I would want or need.
But after a glass or two of pinot noir the need changed. I needed everything in the catalog.
Oh! Look at this cute as hell avocado peeler? I sooooo need that.
Hey! Is that a pizza stone? I know I have sworn off of wheat for the most part, but I can learn how to make gluten-free pizza!
Look at these adorable and tiny little glass cups with the pour spouts. There must be something small in ounces that I need to pour. SOMETHING!
I managed to spend over $100 on stuff I will enjoy. Don't judge. Sisters need to support each other!
I mean, who doesn't need a $40 glass bowl to put on her dining table?
BTW - I booked a party. The distributor was a darling girl and I want to help as well. I'm certain I'll be getting out hot sticks when the time comes so I can poke out my own eyes.

Get me some hot sticks, I'll help.
If we lived closer, I would totally go. I usually stay FAR away from those hostess parties, but for some reason the Pampered Chef party environment really interests me.
Good luck on your sales!
Just the other day, I thought it would be fun to host a purse party. Then I remembered that my closest (in distance) friend lives 100 miles away.
I felt the same way when forced to attend one of these a few years ago, but I've loved my bamboo spoons & my Onion chopper so much! Invite me maybe I'll be able to afford a new cutting board ;c)
I HATE those parties. I try to get out of going, or I page through the catalog in search of the lowest priced item that I would hopefully be able to use.
But Deborah did jewelry home party sales when we were young'uns. I hosted one, served everyone ice cream White Russians. Sold a bunch that night. ;-0

Ms A - I have a supply in the closet just waiting for a light. :)
Lucky Gun - Truth be told, the party turned out so fun just because there was friends and wine involved. And shopping. A trifecta of fun.
SCG - Those purse parties were making their way around these parts a while back. I've never been to one.
Sarah - You are invited for sure! Especially with your burgeoning love of cooking.
deb - I nearly forgot I tried to sell jewelry back in the 70s. I was so poor! Liquor is always a part of these parties! For very good reason.
SG - Yes to that for sure. The stuff I have bought over the years is the most awesome stuff. I have an apple corer that is phenomenal.
