Midweek Blues

If there is one thing that should cheer you up at the end of this nightmare of a year, it should be a son doing a solid for his mum after things looked drab.
At the end of the day at a crafting fair, Martyn Hett messaged his mother, to see how she’d got on with her stall. His mother, Figen, replied with a rather heart-breaking message:
My mum has set up her own stall at a craft fair and has messaged me to say she hasn't sold anything yet and my heart is breaking pic.twitter.com/cdzHn77pM5

But, not long after that tweet, he got a message from his friend saying he wanted one of Figen’s glove monsters:
I've just found out she has her own Depop shop, I'm obsessed pic.twitter.com/V8GOTB54hb

Then what followed was a thing of beauty:
My heart is melting, thank you @LiamLambrini for being her first customer pic.twitter.com/m7xjNDz9Cc

People were very happy with their purchases, and some wanted to know if she shipped to the States.

The official Depop Twitter, where her shop is hosted, tweeted that Martyn’s mum’s shop was the most active on the site at that time too! Now she’s preparing for another project, whiles donating some of her profits to a local counselling charity.
Brought a tear to my eye, that did.
