Yesterday was one of those days that reminded me why I love creating.❤️
A sweet customer named Rachel stopped by and immediately fell in love with my sunflower Highland cow hats. Her daughter, however, had her eyes on the Amazing Grace hat. Mom got her hat, but the little girl left without hers.
A little while later, I heard, “Look, it’s still here!!”
Rachel and her family had come back. Her husband jokingly told me he was mad at me. 😂 Rachel looked at her daughter, who was admiring herself in the mirror, and said, “Look at her. How can you say no?”
I had to agree—she looked pretty dang cute.
That little girl pulled out all the stops. The pouty lip. The puppy dog eyes. The whole package. She turned around, looked at her dad, and asked one more time.
Of course, the answer was yes. ❤️
Then, at the end of the day, Rachel sent me a message that absolutely melted my heart:
“Just wanted to thank you for making my little girl’s whole life today and let you know she tried to sleep in her hat, but when she was told no, she made daddy hang a new special hook by her bed for her hat so she could make sure it was safe. 🤣❤️”
Moments like this mean more to me than I can put into words. Knowing something I made brought that much joy to a little girl is the greatest compliment I could receive.
Thank you to everyone who supports Rustic Ash Creations. Your purchases aren’t just sales to me—they become part of stories and memories like this one. ❤️🤠
