Blatant capitalism
The best thing about birthdays? Birthday presents from my online wishlists! Enough polymer clay to make about ten million necklaces and bracelets. I went a little bit crazy for a few weeks making these pretty things…. And then promptly ran out of clay. So it goes.
At that point I took myself down to the local farmer’s market, where I borrowed a table and put my jewelry up for sale.
It was wonderful! It was fantastic! It was cold and windy and I still made a significant profit despite accidentally eating a muffin containing one of my favorite allergens! Hurray!
This is nice, because it means that in the time when I’m waiting for school stuff to get a move on, I can still make some cash in the meantime. The economy may suck, but not so much that a teenager isn’t going to drop ten bucks on something shiny (when that happens, THEN we know we’re in trouble).
