Well Done

Posted by Helen Killer 39 comments

I would like to give a big shout out to this seller, for having such a great sense of humor.

After someone made a comment that her butterfly brooch looked like it was hit by a car, the seller actually re-shot her photos and rewrote her description. Good for you!

Now someone go buy this butterfly. It’s famous.

You know what they say, “If you love it, set it free……” or sell it on etsy.

That’s great!
Good for her for not letting a bunch of anonymous meanies (that would be us) get her down.

valentinefiberarts, I salute you.

I wonder if she put little gauze bandages on the “antenni” and “arms”… or would that detract from the whimsicalness? valentinefiberarts rocks! Love the shot under the car tire!

I must say this is the “When life hands you lemons; make lemon-aid” type situation. Good for them. I’m glad the “lemon-aid” sold. =D

You really are not meant to try to sell you first ever attempt at bead crap, I mean CRAFT, on Etsy. Seriously. At least TRY to get good first.

Hats off to you, Mrs. Ticklefeather! Really, anyone with a name like that MUST have a good sense of humour. Glad your whimsical little messed-up butterfly sold!

Just yesterday I was driving in the car with my niece, and she yelled “I HATE butterflies!!!” I asked her why, and she said it’s because they always fly right in front of the car, and get hit. So, yeah, I hate butterflies, too.

I have a feeling the seller was just mortified that it was on Regretsy mostly for the description.
