Seller's Sadness


Today at the flea market, I sold the most beautiful pendant. It may have been the most beautiful pendant I have ever made. The lady saw it, wanted to hear more about and just had to try it on. Once she tried it on, I knew she would buy it. And it matched her shirt perfectly. I had tears in my eyes. It was so beautiful, but I was a little bit sad. I put my soul into that pendant. I was beginning to think nobody was going to buy it. And how could nobody buy it? It's gorgeous! I'm still experiencing some seller's remorse. I miss it. . . my creation, my inspiration, an expression of me. . .

I know exactly how you feel. But, console yourself knowing that it went to someone who will love it just like you do.

I am working on one right now that will be hard to let go of. I have to admit, there are a few pieces that I am glad have not sold. All of the jewelry I make have a little bit of me in them, but some have more. The pendant you sold was gorgeous!

Congratulations on the sale. There are times I'm sorry to see certain pieces sold too. I think it means we need to keep more of our favorite pieces for ourselves!

What a BEAUTIFUL pendant! I love your blog... I really need to pay more attention to my FOUR blogs...

I made jewelry for all my bridesmaids. It's such a relaxing and rewarding craft, I should do more of it once the wedding is over and we have a house!

Can't wait to see you guys at the wedding!
