Can I say thanks? I can't go..I may be here a little less, but Flourish is such a part of my life I would miss it like crazy. So, you'll have to continue putting up with my take on design, style, my loves and likes..thanks to each and every one of you who contacted me and left a comment, wrote a note.. I'm glad your here, and you're right, I'll go back to doing this for me, and just maybe you'll like it too :)

As a Stella & Dot stylist I am continually amazed at the incredible product we offer for an incredible price. It truly is an affordable luxury..see below-


this labradorite pendant shown above..over $250. Now check out Stella & Dot's Leona Pendant for $108.. It's a gorgeous labradorite stone, and possibly my favorite piece to wear..


How about this ring for $135? How about Stella & Dot's Camilla Ring for $54..

leaf pendant for $935, or Stella & Dot leaf pendant ( gold, $44 ) + delicate ball station chain, $44

statement piece

I am absolutely enamoured with Stella & Dot's new fall line launch. Honestly as I was anxiously waiting for the new line to be released, as the items started to show up I felt giddy..it's SO gorgeous! This piece above, the leona pendant, is amazing and will be an essential part of my fall wardrobe. Who an I kidding I wear it all the time now too :)

The Marchesa, paired with a bardot spiral bracelet in gold, after the rain bracelet

and the serpent bangle.

Chantilly lace earrings and cuff, inspired by a piece of vintage lace

The contessa jade necklace is an incredible piece with jade stones in a beautiful gradient. Paired with the camilla ring, a gorgeous compliment to camel, or imagine how vivid paired with deep purple!

There is an amazing assortment of new pieces from casual bracelets to wrap and stack, everyday essential earrings and pieces to make an outfit. Have a peek.. Stella & Dot.

Thinking you'd make a fabulous stylist.. let me know, I have lots of great information for you! I'd love to have you on my Stella team, x S

objections

I know you all have listened to me talk about Stella & Dot.. I have a new stylist joining right now who is a full time career woman. Everyone has their own reasons for joining Stella & Dot. This is a business you can have as a hobby or a full time career. I'm not kidding! You set the pace. There's no monthly quota, or annoying sponsors hounding you. Are you kidding? It would be me..I'm lovely ;)

Anyway, the point, I was reading through my stylist mag and found a little write up on objections and had to share this excerpt...

" I had many reasons why Stella & Dot wouldn't work for me:

1. I haven't had a job in 10 years and no time with my three young children.

2. My husband travels, so it would be very hard to hold trunk shows in the evenings.

3. It sounds too good to be true.

4. I was a MOM. I really didn't see myself as anything else!

But after I talked to my sponsor, I also saw an opportunity, with little risk and decided it was worth a try. After one year, I am so glad I listened to that little voice inside me. I went from earning enough to buy wallpaper to actually making a financial contribution to my family. My biggest monthly paycheck of $4000, which I am working to make $5000! Most importantly I really love what I am doing, I'm growing personally and as a leader, and have a great sense of fulfillment."

-PATSY KLEIN, Star Stylist, MO

key questions answered..

WOW! Thank you all so much for your interest in Stella & Dot! It's such an incredible company to partner with, they truly do everything they do for you, the stylist. Here are a few quick key points..

$199 starts your business. With that you receive a big box of brilliant business supplies. Catalogs, order forms, signage, stylist mag, hostess magazines, ring sizers, notecards..it's like Christmas morning opening this box! Oh yeah.. don't forget the $350 worth of free jewelry of your choice.

Stella & Dot has the most incredible training program and stylist support. I've worked for some pretty big companies, and they've got nothing on the time, energy and devotion that goes into stylist training and knowledge. Everything you could ever need is at your fingertips.

Website. SO EASY for those of us with blogs and facebook to talk about and sell the product outside of trunk shows.

Trunk shows are the modern home party. It's NOT about sitting around listening to your stylist talk.. your stylist is styling you and your girlfriends while you enjoy a glass of wine! Two hours.. tops!

Commission..25%, up to 30%. Incentives to earn free jewelry and trips. Once you start sponsoring your own team, your commissions increase.

YOU decide what you want to do a month. Want to save for a new sofa? Holiday? Summer wardrobe? Book alot of shows! Feeling busy with your full time job..book one or two and you'll still have extra spending money a month. It's truly so EASY and FUN. I adore it. Really :)

Visit STELLA & DOT, and email me if you have any other questions. I would love to have you on my team! ( sarah@sarahswansondesign.com )


It's so exciting to now be able to sponsor not only within Canada, but the US too!

to my US friends

Some of you know I became a Stella & Dot stylist a few short months ago. I never dreamed I would adore it as much as I do. I have a full time job, 2 kids and all the busy that goes along with them. It has given our finances a nice bonus every month, along with giving me the time to get together with girlfriends..never mind the $3500 worth of free jewelry I now have in my wardrobe.

Just as of today I am allowed to cross border sponsor. I'd LOVE to have you on my Stella team..I promise you'll love it! If you're interested in more details leave me a note with your email address.. I'd love to tell you more about it! x
