I went into my second vendor show just wanting to get my name out there with no expectations and was genuinely pleased to get a handful of orders.
I’ve also learned that this type of jewelry isn’t easy to sell at vendor shows. I’m used to having a line of people waiting to cash out and selling out of items like I did with Say It With Brass.
This was definitely not that. And if I am being honest, it was a little discouraging. The older generation were more than willing to give me their opinions. Not nice ones. I felt like I had to justify why anyone would want this type of jewelry. It ticked me off.
I make them for the mothers who want to celebrate their breastfeeding journeys.
No b***s, no opinion.
I make them for the couple who just lost their baby.
No loss of your own child, no opinion.
I make it for the wife who lost her husband. 
No loss of a significant other, no opinion.
I make it for the family grieving the loss of a family pet. Don’t understand how losing a pet can feel like losing a family member? No opinion.
You don’t have to understand it.
You don’t have to want it.
You don’t even have to like it.
I make it for those who do.
That is all.
