I know I'm supposed to be humble, and embody a sense of spirituality...like, "This is part of the Universe' plan for me"....but it hurt! My jewelry or home decor hasn't yet been turned down after showing at a boutique or store...it reminds me of an old painful sentiment - the first time someone broke up with me, after a little "Winning" streak of being the "breaker-upper".
Okay, wait...there was that one bridal boutique in Manhattan that Lauren introduced me to, but I wasn't all that crazy about bridal jewelry in the first place, so I felt like my energy had clearly contributed to never consigning there.
Yesterday, I walked in nervous, one arm around my Shell Trunk of jewelry and wares, the other gripping the shoulder of my 2 & 1/2 year old toddler. The latter was a BAD idea...my former angel of a son became a running lunatic in this high-end trendy and golden boutique, and I became an apologizing and distracted mother.
Like I posted on facebook, the owner turned me down in 4.1 minutes...I know because of the parking meter into which I had plunked more quarters than needed.
Bu this I'm sure of...my jewelry and winter Wreckollections Wreaths and Ornaments were perfect for her store, regardless of the fact that she said, "I can tell in my gut you're not a fit here."
I KNOW the fall "Cowboy" inspired chains and beads, and the vintage jewelry wreaths were gorgeous and fabulous. I'm filled with self-doubt like most women, but in my creations, I'm not...I'm very, very sure that they're the bomb.
So, I can wonder all day WHY I wasn't invited to sell in her store, I can assume it's as she said...that she holds tons of jewelry right now....but what this did confirm for me was the knowledge that my stuff for the upcoming fall and winter seasons are delicious! I KNOW it...:)
Here are some pictures of a mini wreath and lavender quartz crystals.
