People sometimes ask me at shows, "Aren't you ever worried about people stealing your jewelry?" I tell them that I usually don't worry about thieves and plus if someone does take from me, they always have to answer to Karma.
I had a show this past weekend in Chinatown where after counting inventory, I found that two of my earrings had vanished. I counted again but the numbers are still the same. Sigh.
This makes me sad. I find it deplorable to steal from handmade artists. It's just as wrong as going into someone's wallet and helping yourself to their cash. Jewelry making and doing craft shows are not just a hobby for me, it's my full-time job.
I sure hope that they at least wear the earrings or give it away to someone who deserves something adorable in their life.
Be warned though, the Karma police is on the case!
