(24,906 posts)No idea if she made any money, but I still have and use some of the old stuff. She knew enough about the gig that she hooked upn with a dealer in the 60s and got real good at just letting our house be used for the parties. Several times a month for awhile. Back then you got lots of free stuff and discounts just for throwing a successful party. The more the party sold, the more stuff she got. She tapped into every network she had access to in order to get people for parties. PTA, Boy Scout moms, moms of kids on sports teams with me, wives of people my dad worked with, etc.
In the 70s, she became a part time Travel Agent and found out if you sell ten cabins on a cruise ship, you get one free. She and my dad went on over 20 Caribbean cruises for free. I even went on one free as the "Tour Director". Smart lady for someone who dropped out of the ninth grade to take care of her sick mom.
