I recently posted a new design on my Etsy Shop Instagram account, @shopberrygirlsc.
You're probably thinking, "yeah, so..."
Well, this post was special. Special because of the steps I took prior to posting it.
The following screen shots will shed light on just how particular I was regarding this post.

I can't begin to express how anxious I was sending that little direct IG message.
It was the type of situation where I knew it was the right thing to do, but there was no telling of the outcome and how it would be received. Needless to say, that anxiety dissipated once I read her response.
I sent out a plea to my fellow handmade shop owners attached to the following picture-
..."Friends, if your designs are copies of someone else's work, I beg of you to consult the original designer before venturing off & calling it 'yours.' I did just that- I spoke with her to get the OK prior to posting this."
(I also paid her a compliment, hoping that showed her just how much respect I have for her business!)
Do you get what I'm saying? This certainly doesn't just apply to jewelry but to any other form of art or small business.
So today, I'm a thankful and relieved girl!
Also, how cute is this Alice In Love bracelet?!
Coming soon!
