I am not usually one to sit on a website anxiously awaiting for a shop update so I can snatch up some wonderful product, but then I learned about Wild Juniper Fibre Art.
Besides astonishingly beautiful handspun art yarn, she also makes beautiful resin looms and weaving combs with watercolor paints and dried flowers. The first time I saw one I gasped- I must have one.
Yesterday was her monthly shop update, and I was ready. I had a countdown on my phone, I was watching the minutes tick by. The update went live at 11:00, and I jumped on and skimmed through the weaving combs, determined to have one to use with my Hello Hydrangea lap loom.
At 11:01 I put two combs into my shopping cart so I could look at them more closely. I chose which one I liked best, deleted the other, and hit "update cart". The one I had just chosen had already sold! It was this one:
So I hurriedly went back, snagged the other comb that I liked, and hit submit. I got to the payment page, speed-typed my information in, and clicked submit. It was mine! Except it wasn't. I'd been cart jacked. This was the one I almost got:
So I hurried back to the looms and combs page to try to get any comb that was left, but they were all gone! Noooooooooooooooooooooooo.
Oh well. I can certainly get by without one, and now I just have the fun of waiting anxiously for the next update! Maybe I'll end up with one someday. :-)
What about you? Is there a shop update that you anxiously await? Have you been cart jacked out of something amazing? Let me know in the comments.
Happy crafting!
