Default Busting to tell someone

I am just back from an art exhibition in which I placed a couple of my pieces. Upon entering I was stoked to see that one of them, 'Mewling Bear', had sold(I was later told within the first half hour of the exhibition's opening). I then witnessed my other piece, 'Cobra' being sold to a person I had been speaking to. As if that wasn't good enough for the night, I was bombarded by quite a few people who simply gushed over the bear and said they would have purchased him and one said she missed buying him by minutes! I am now floating on a wave of good feelings and my cranium dimensions have increased enormously. I may have to try to produce some more bears in the same design out of different timber. Just had to brag a little, hope you don't mind. Joe.

Congrats on the encouragement and sales. I liked the bear you carved as well and see why it had so many admirers.
