Hi Mary,

I found out more about the necklace idea and the lady that does it has fibromylagia also.  I don’t know how much she makes but I have a necklace and ankle bracelet here that I think are cool.

She uses coral,turquoise, or Siworski (sp)? beads for jewelery, I like shell choker necklaces also. --- where I live there are bead shops and I never connected what they were for. She relies on word of mouth, swap shops, flea markets, and other peoples garage sales to sell goods.

Maybe a local business in your area would be interested in for a small cut or even buying outright and marking up even more something? For example, if I had the cash to but some Keds or whatever at a shoe store it would be easy for me to also buy a cute ankle bracelet that was displayed on the counter by the cash register. Something with a cute little tag and handmade in the USA does mean something to me.

I have no idea if any of this will work but you never know. 

Best Wishes,

Aimee
