This is no surprise if you've met my wife…I can't even spell Silpada but my wife is excited about it…

So here's more from WBZT in Boston:

Chatting with friends, dinner and some new jewelry. It may sound like a
girls' night out, but for millions of women it's also work.

When Shannon Bambara was laid off earlier this year, she polished up her sales pitch and became a direct seller with Silpada Designs.
She peddles the company's products at house parties and then takes a

which means I take home 30% of that which would be around $285,"
Bambara explained.

While there are no statistics for this recession, history shows that
during bad economic times, more women turn to home parties as a way to
help fill the income void. The average seller who works part time earns
about $200 a month. For those who work full time, there's the potential
to earn up to six figures.
