Well, They Did Ask



The scene of the crime against Lucky Penny Hand Made. The Indie Designer Fashion Market at the Chicago Antiques Market in River West. This was my display before they moved me outside in 100+ degree heat. My display grids before they torqued in the hot sun. Before the sun damage to my exposed body parts. Imagine my surprise when the show promoters sent a 2006 contract via e-mail today. I can't imagine why they would, it must have been some sort of oversight, and my contact information left by mistake. With the sun beating down on my head, and sweat pouring down and stinging my eyes, I was pretty vocal at the show about how unhappy I was. The promoters stopped coming by and asking how I was doing after I told them off the first time. I told them today to remove my name from their mailing list, and exactly why I would not consider a contract. I think that the internet sometimes gives me a kind of courage that I might not have if I were face to face with someone. It lets me think about what I'm going to say, before the words are out there. I probably shouldn't have sent the toxic reply, but it was the perfect opportunity.

Correy,

Oh my gosh, thanks for the laugh! I just read "scene of the crime" and looked at the stuffed dogs hanging (in the photo)...and I don't know why...but just busted out laughing.

Hope all is going well on your book!!
