Description from Mary S - Sweet Chick: My cousin brought an out of town friend over to see my jewelry yesterday....AND SHE BOUGHT 18 pieces of jewelry!!! :-D Man was I surprised!! Woo Hoo!!
And tomorrow I have a booth at an arts festival...hoping for the best there too.
BUT...I am trying to be a good girl and keep myself in bead prison. So far so good.....I am staying strong but this sale is nagging at my resolution.
I will not buy, I will not buy......

Beadlady3 aka Cindy says:Wow! That’s a great sale you had. And this pick is pretty, too! I went into an LBS just to get some stringing wire, and still came out with a strand of pearls too. Dang it!

J Yee smart chick says:Mary, COngragulations on making such a big sale of so many pieces that you created, whoo hoo!! And I’m glad you have a booth at an arts festival tomorrow, sending lots of good wishes and positive energy your way – btw, this is a gorgeous Pick – and I’m ROTFL in much sympathy with you about that lovely bead sale that LB has this weekend, I browsed yesterday, and uttered the same affirmations to myself about not purchasing anything, given my employment situation right now…

Claire C says:When they pay you money, you know it’s good. The lady must have been pretty smart to recognize a bargain in being able to purchase authentic original work from the artist in person in her studio. That’s not possible in department stores, where you never meet the artist and certainly do not get one of a kind jewelry. That was one smart customer and also a strong endorsement of your fine work! PS I’m adding your fresh pick to my favorites.
