Today I remembered an artisan who I was following for a while but just disappeared.

Back in 2016, when I was in charge of my shitty old job's Etsy shop, there was a featured article about this up-and-coming new shop. It was run by a young woman living way out in rural Scotland who didn't have much money but scraped together enough to start making jewelry. Her story was way cool. She was very resourceful and she'd hunt for most of her gems out in nature. Her photography was great and her love for it all clearly showed through.

I kept any eye on her shop because I wanted to buy something eventually. I noticed after a while she seemed to have trouble keeping up with demand. Her reviews started to slip and it looked like she needed to extend times for making and shipping. Then she just vanished. The shop instagram is still up and nobody has posted on it in 6 years. She had shut down her Etsy shop before that, but her website also disappeared. I'm wondering if something happened or if it was too much pressure.

Her stuff was very pretty and I'm kicking myself a little for not buying something when I had the chance. Also wondering what ended it all.

I'm thinking about making an instagram for my art. I'm not ready to take work though

I'm supposed to be working on a book with my friend. She has the patience of a saint

Wish I had a snack, but nooo, I had to get sensible and healthy foods :|

It was a long, rough day but it's over and I'm off tomorrow. I'm looking forward to getting lunch with my friend

Seriously I feel like someone beat me up

There was a car sitting across the street for hours with their lights on. I kept sending go away vibes and they finally left

 

[twilightsglow]

But that was weird and annoying. Every time I stood up I'd see their stupid headlights

 

[twilightsglow]

After a while I was wondering if they were looking through my windows

 

[twilightsglow]

Omg, stop hassling me about updates, Windows

 

[twilightsglow]

Two posts about windows but different types lol

I learned how to use an ebike today. We went on a trail next to the river. It was really nice

I do not want to cook dinner but I'm hungry

We're only halfway through August but it does feel like summer's ending. The temperature has dropped a little. Some of my coworkers left to go back to college.

A car is in that spot again, lights on, and it's been there for a while

Thinking about going in to see if my one earlobe piercing is still viable. It looks like there's a hole but I can't see if it goes all the way through. I stopped wearing earrings because they were constantly getting infected but I found some cool looking ones recently and it got me wondering
