“oh my GOSH! I love this. I’d love to get one, but it’s out of my budget” - vs. - “cute. But you’re way too expensive”. .⬇️
I get both versions of these comments all the time.
And ultimately, while different vibes, they can both mean the same thing. It all just comes down to not only the way it’s written, but also the way you decide to look at it.
It used to hurt my feelings a bit when people would say my work was “too expensive”. Because I put a lot of time & hard work into my pieces.
It would make me feel like others were trying to put me & the items down.
And it took time for me to also realize, hey, while there are some not-so-nice people out on the interwebs, some people just may not express themselves the way that I do.
It all comes down to your perception, and even tho I do understand sometimes these comments may seem like backhanded compliments (and heck, yeah, some absolutely are😅), I choose to remind myself that my work isn’t for everyone for all variations of reasons, & that’s perfectly okay! 🫶🏻
This goes out for a reminder not only for myself, but also for anyone else who may see this (buyer or seller), that you can choose to leave comments either way.. and you can choose to take those comments to heart in a negative or a positive way🙂🫶🏻
Okay. That’s all. Love you!
Here is a photo of my checkerboard cardigan, because I love it 🤭
