Just had a thief take off with one of my pendants

First day of displaying my work at a local shop in town, and the staff calls to tell me a teenager nabbed two (one of my best, one of my basics) right out of the case on their glass counter.

Just feeling saddened and wanted to be in an understanding space. It’s so much work, of course, the making the marketing the pricing. But it’s also like … those are my babies! My creations! The evidence that I am good at things.
