Wholesale Question + My Work

[djnurseallison.livejournal.com]

Hey everyone! Recently I have been contacted by customers who are interested in buying my handmade charms wholesale. I'm not sure how to go about this, since I'm a craftgrrl first and a (wannabe) businesswoman second. So, my question is, how do you handle wholesale purchases? I'm a small one-person operation - I sell my crafts as a hobby, not as a full-time job. Can I even afford to provide wholesale discounts? I found this page which had some helpful hints, but I still feel in the dark. I'd really appreciate your personal experiences and advice.

And so this isn't boring text-only, here are pix of some of my work.
