Morning friends, I hope you all had an

awesome weekend!!

We went out yesterday, the girls went

to the art store and the boys went

shoe shopping.  I then took a detour into

a large American chain store that moved

into our neighbourhood a few months ago.

I know a lot of the high school kids

go there and I wanted to check out my competion. 

I went straight to their accessories section

to look at their jewelry. Well, what I

thought would be a tough place to compete

with turned into a large eye opener for me

and I ended up leaving the store with

my head so high I almost got a nose bleed.

The quality of the fashion jewelry was really

poorly made and the materials looked

really dodgy and they were really over priced.

I started to think that a lot of us are

really underpricing our products and talents. 

When I think of all the things I've gotten

from Esty artisans over the last little

while; the quality of the materials and

the design I was over come with so much

pride to be part of such a talented community.

Oh, well enough said.

Hope you have a memorable Monday.

♥Lisa
