I love when little surprises light up your life. This little surprise was really quite nice and if not for a wonderful customer of mine telling me about it I would have never known.
Here is how the story goes. I had a customer contact me about some birds for her wedding. We emailed back and for a few times. Toward the end of one of the emails she said: Someone probably already told you but your birds are in Brides Magazine this month. I think my heart skipped a beat! I emailed her back saying that no one had told and could she tell me what issue and details. They were in the May issue. I found out before it hit newsstands because she subscribed to the magazine. I had to wait around 5 days until I could finally get my hands on the magazine yesterday. I finally stopped calling Barnes & Noble because they probably thought I was stalking them!
While on my lunch break yesterday I stopped by the grocery store just to see and there it was. I was pretty excited to see them in print. I didn't let myself get to excited in case they really weren't mine so I went back and checked my sold orders and its true I did sell the bride the birds last year.
The article is about her wedding style and her wedding looked wonderful. I didn't get mentioned as a vendor but they did mention etsy. Even though "Tiffzippy" was in article I still think its pretty cool my birds were included in the magazine!

I'm the bride you sold your little birdies to! I just want you to know what a great addition they were to my wedding. I also want you to know several vendors were not listed :( Including myself... I just wanted to take a minute to confirm that YES they are yours and I love love love your shop. Thanks again for your help and your little blue birds. alisha
