    Christine Quiriy- I am a pharmacist who has been making jewelry
    (silver and gold fabricating) for about 20 months. I have only done
    one show and I don't sell to friends or family because I am trying
    to build an inventory. 

    I want out of my high-stress, high-pay pharmacy job and into the
    jewelry to make a living. I was "poor" too and I have been in the
    situation where credit cards were full and the main recreation we
    had was buying things. 

    Now what I really want is enough money for food, clothing, housing,
    and health care. I have thought I was going crazy because I have had
    an urge for the last year and one-half to sell our house with all
    its carpets, vases, bookshelves, etc. to clean and dust and live
    with my husband in the back of a low-maintenance shop where we had
    less "soft goods" and "pretties" and less for me to do in the upkeep
    of a house so that I would have more time to work on my passion and
    less time doing "women's work." In other words, I guess I have
    learned that materialism comes at a cost that is higher than I want
    to pay--bondage to a job I hate, full credit cards, and worrying
    about how to afford a similar lifestyle after retirement.
