A while back I received a custom order for duck earrings. My customer was very specific. She didn't want her earrings to match. She wanted a yellow duck and she wanted a green duck. And also a blue duck. What she wanted was a pair - and a spare. Plus, this customer was in a big hurry. She wanted those duck earrings and she wanted them now. On top of the special rush order, she also wasn't planning on paying for them. She didn't exactly tell me this, but I knew. I knew her type.
Despite knowing I wouldn't be compensated monetarily, I got to work quickly. I didn't want to disappoint my customer. She had been known to put in special orders in the past, but I tended to ignore them. I was too busy, I said. This one would have to be different, or I might lose this special non-paying customer.
I'm happy to report that my customer loves her duck earrings, and even wore them to school today.
One yellow duck.
And one green duck.
The spare blue duck is safe at home.
Who could resist a face like that?!
ReplyDeleteShe is adorable - I love that she wanted them in different colors - she sounds like she might be on the creative side herself! She has very good taste in what kind of animal she chose as well - she's Just Ducky!
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I love how she wanted them to be different colors!
ReplyDeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteThat is fabulous. Who could resist that face? Of course you had to comply. You are so lucky to have girls that you can create for. If I were you I would always fulfill those special custom orders.
ReplyDeleteLove duckies.... I haven't made any for years are black ducks like black sheep? Trouble makers?
ReplyDeleteThe minute you wrote spare... I got it! I'm always losing one ...or changing clothes and therefore, my color scheme. I say, she's ahead of her time!
ReplyDeleteOMG! That is so sweet... I love it! I teared up reading the story :)
ReplyDeleteShe's very smart too, to order a spare and a pair. I always lose earrings! Thanks for sharing your special customer with us, she made my day!
