Hi Cynthia,

    I'm in complete agreement with Marianne: 

>     It's kind of embarrassing, how unbusiness-like my business is.
>     However, since I am a one person operation, I can do as I please.
>     If someone wants one of my pieces and can't buy it out-right, I ask
>     for a good faith deposit. Etc. 

    I do write out the layaway agreement on the invoice but I'm very
    flexible on the terms. The customer usually knows what schedule she
    can afford to pay on and I've never found anyone to be unreasonable
    with a payment schedule. I do, however, tell the customer - and state
    in writing on the invoice - that the deposit is non-refundable. And,
    like Marianne, I keep the piece until it's paid for. 

Beth
