found this fantastic quote over at oopsidaisi yesterday and it really had me thinking!
there has been soo many blog posts & facebook updates lately regarding imitation,duplication,emulation,replication...
everytime i turn on the computer this is all i seem to be reading ...
but was it REALLY your idea ?
be honest ~ where did you get your inspiration ?
do you own that idea ? ~ really ?
in most cases no ....
' everything in design is recycled ' ~ { yes its true }
....its how we've put together what we've seen that makes us unique { and our items } ~ bunny williams
best advice ~ ' stop worrying what the next person is doing and focus on yourself & your business ~ this is when you will be most successful ' { really its true }
lets embrace the handmade community ~ my greatest love is to help my handmade sisters be the best they can be ~ i love to support and see them grow & prosper ~
can we stop judging each other & simply show love & support ?
who's idea was it first ? ~ who cares !
so today i ask you ~ will you pay it forward ?
will you help a fellow designer ~ a friend ~ a loved one ?
will you be kind , warm & generous ?
for nothing in return ?
~ in love & generosity we prosper in life ~
' food for thought '
~ Stace XOXO
thankyou Sam from oopsidaisi for posting this thought provoking quote
