So, I've decided to get myself something at a couple points along this journey. The store no longer sells the earrings I picked out for the milestone I just passed. I am very sad - they were so pretty.

Oh that is rough, when you have worked so hard, to make it there. I am so sorry.

I’m sorry your earrings are gone.....but look on the bright side, now you can go shop for some more beautiful earrings which is always fun!

I know, and I did find some other earrings, but I'd been coveting them for a very long time. But, they're just earrings. Maybe the store will have them again sometime in the future.

You can find almost anything online - get the store to give you manufacturer and any other detail they have. Unlikely that it's only sold in one store. I've actually had artisans sell to me directly before after tracing back something I loved but didn't purchase in time.

Thanks. I'll try that. Although its Costco, so not sure how far I'll get. Maybe I can email them or call them. I think I have the item description from the link I saved.

Aww sorry the earrings are no longer available. I'm sad for you. Hope you can find another pair that you love as much, or more, soon!

That is SUCH a good idea! But so sorry to hear they weren't there when you were finally ready for them! How disappointing.
