My Little Proposal!

Google I was filled with joy this past Wednesday while I was working my normal 9-5. Let me tell you why! I check my phone quite frequently while I'm at work because it is the only connection I have to my shop while I am away from my computers and I always like to keep an eye on things, check my stats, or have a pleasant surprise if I sold an item. I still get all giddy as if every sale were my first sale. Well I checked my email inbox and found that I had an Etsy conversation, someone had sent me a message on there. So I opened it up. Now at first I was dreading it was an issue with a past sale, that an item had to be replaced or never made it to it's final destination or new home. I haven't had an issue like this yet and I hope not to! But if you read the subject line below, you can see how I might think that! As I read this I became ecstatic!

Now you can see why I was so excited! One of the items that I handmade was used in a marriage proposal! I thought that it was so adorable! I sent a message back to Kate congratulating her and asking for a full story with details and pictures! Hopefully she will get back to me soon so we can hear more about her story! Here is the ring she referenced:
