Weird but true story:
A couple of months ago a lady approached my stall at the craft market and told me she was opening a gallery in a month or so. She said she loved my felted purses and suggested I make some more for her gallery. She did not introduce herself. She did not give me a business card, She didn't even seem very sure of where her gallery would be or when it would open so I didn't take her all that seriously and promptly forgot about her. The next Sunday she showed up scrutinizing my tables and not recognizing her, I asked if she was looking for something in particular. She said she was looking for my felted items, them promptly turned and left. Realizing who she was, I thought maybe she is legit so I went home and made a new felted purse.

I called it Fish Bag. This past Sunday the lady came back again and after much deliberation (she wanted two bags but I refused to give her a discount) said she wanted the fish bag for her gallery called.....are you ready for this....."Blue Fish Gallery". She gave me some of her cards to put on my table so I could tell people my stuff was in her gallery but as she left she said she'd decided to keep the purse for herself.

Wow! That's kind of spooky. If the bag had purple hearts on it, would the gallery be The Purple Heart gallery?

Your felted bags would be a hit in her gallery but guess she wants it for herself.

I don't think she's done any advertising. Don't know how the tourists will find her gallery.....but it would be so cool to tell people I have works on display in a gallery.

Sounds like an odd bird to deal with, but a happy buck is a happy buck!

I couldn't believe she asked for a discount on the two felted bags. They are only $25.00 each.
