I've been selling my jewelry at craft fairs for a hundred zillion years or so, and thought I had heard every permution of every rude remark out there. WRONG!!

A woman asked if I sold beads. I said Yes, but only a limited supply. Then she pointed to two beads in 2 finished items of jewelry and asked if I sold those. I said, No those are the last I have. So far, not a problem, but THEN she asked if I would take apart both necklaces (hand-made! one-of-a-kind! lots of labor!) so she could buy 2 beads to make her own necklace. [Mad] [Mad] [Mad] That's like asking if you'll unravel your hand-made sweater because someone wants 10" of yarn.

I'm very impressed with myself for not killing her, or even screaming.
