Been on a bowl making binge as of lately, and they are everywhere in the house....you know how it is, if there is a flat spot, then it has a bowl on it.
Anyway, I decided I'd hand out a few to some friends and such at work. All were very well received and they just loved them. Thanks were given and the like. This was on Monday. I was in a giving mood, and thought I'd do something nice.
This last Thursday, I go into work and one of the girls in the front office said she took her bowl home and her friend came over. The friend apparently spent a lot of time admiring this one....She sold her the bowl for $10!
She came to me on Thursday telling me she could sell 10 more if I would make them for her. When I told her there would be no more bowls she got mad, that the bowls I make are generally fetching $5 to $7 per inch in diameter, and she just sold a $85 bowl for $10
So, has this ever happened to anyone else?
If so, how did you handle it?
