I was blown away today...

The wife and I ran up to the local Orvis fly shop today looking for legs.  I needed some more silli legs in yellow/gold/black for my Fish Foolin' Frog popper.  I was not going to have enough to complete the 15 I needed to send out.  So, knowing that we are going to a fly shop, the wife makes me bring along some poppers I have tied up lately.  She is pushing me to sell them.  I say pushing but it is in a good way but don't kid yourself, she doesn't want to go back to work full time so selling them could (a) help us out and (b) keep her a part time worker.  Anyways, after arriving and seeing some of their poppers, the wife decided not to show them to the owner who was there.  I couldnt find the legs I was looking for so I decided to ask.  In an effort to show my stuff at the same time I showed one of my Fish Foolin' Frog poppers as an example of what type of legs I was looking for.  The owner came over and went through my box of poppers.  The first words out of his mouth were "Where did you get these poppers from?"  I explained to him that I had made them and he was floored.  He kept saying over and over again how good they were.  I put them away and he asked me to get them out so he could see them again which I happily agreed to.  I need to go back to pick up the legs they ordered for me so I am hoping I can strike up a deal with him to sell them.  I will say though that I was blown away by what he said and very proud of my work.
