Well Done

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.

    Good for her for not letting a bunch of anonymous meanies (that would be us) get her down.

    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

    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.
