Just an FYI, a few people have brought up the Lillie’s and the kitten. I keep my cats away from all plants and flowers which is why they live inside. Our little kitten was out in the studio as I was packing for the market as she still needed a lot of supervision as she got climatized to her new home. The shot where I have the Lillie’s happened after the kitten had moved inside already. I actually forgot to show off the collar so brought her outside. I took that shot and took her back inside. The Lillie’s were already in the bin at this point because they were old. Thank you for being so concerned but please know my little miss had no contact whatsoever with those flowers or any of the plants and dried flowers in my studio.
Oh Shelby- I’ve never been so proud of someone I’ve never met. You deserve every ounce of love and joy and appreciation of your talent that comes your way. I cried right along with you! Thank you for being your talented and lovely self ❤
When I heard someone else say that in my travels, I instantly adapted it to my way of thinking. It just shows that you really care for your craft or whatever you are doing so you worry you might not do it justice. Its the best and it takes out some of the self sabotaging mentality!
🤗 I cried when you first showed the line. All through the first years of the pandemic, you have been a friend I never met. I'm happy everyone came to meet you and take home an adorable piece of you pottery. You deserve success and to know your honest, generous, videos, sharing your art and travels with mean to your community. 😉👍💖🕊
I can’t tell you how very happy I am for your success at the show !iI think it’s wonderful that your art was so appreciated ! As artists we do it for our own enjoyment without realising the JOY art brings to others ! Your videos always bring me such joy to watch you you are always so cheerful and uplifting THANKYOU
Thank you so so much! I truly appreciate your love support and kindness! I was just blown away by all the support I was shown over the weekend and every time I post a video!
So proud and encouraged by your success. When all the items were on the shelf it looked festive and well laid out. Your humble response to the visits and gifts is heartwarming, your success is so well deserved. Cheers from the Midwest USA.
Oh my Shelby, you need to understand how much your happiness and joy have impacted our lives during these difficult years. We love you. You are only reaping what you’ve sown… blessings to you!
This video was just so beautiful ❤. You made me cry with joy from your joy ❤🥲 and your new kitten is such a cutie, hope she doesn’t wreck havoc but does find her way into art inspo 😉 Love you Shelby ❤
I'm so not surprised by this at all. Your pieces are so freaking adorable and you can see the love, time, and effort you put into each individual piece. 💖 keep making the world beautiful, you sweet and wholesome human being. What you do is magic just as much as it is art.
I am so happy for you! I found you from the mystery mold series, and this fall I will be adding ceramics to my middle school! Keep it up, keep being you, and keep exploring your art. 💗💗💗
I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹 Ohhh Shelby-how wonderful for you!! What an amazing weekend you’ve had. Your excitement building up to the fair was contagious and we, your adoring people knew how fast your beautiful art would sell out. Congratulations on your incredible, well deserved success. You did it chicky!! 🎉🌸🎉🌼🎉🌸🎉🌼
It's so lovely to see things fall into place - through your hard work and dedication. Your videos are a bright spot of positivity, Shelby! Your every post is a treat.🎉🙂👍
I'm watching this and having flashbacks to my days working in a pottery studio! The boss/owner and I and other employees would make the pottery which would be sold on Open Studio days, and also at fairs etc. We always had tons of bags, labels, boxes, and other things we needed to take our stock "on the road."
Such an amazing turn out! You deserve every bit of it. ❤ I am an Artisan Crafter and do shows too, so I know what an emotional rollercoaster it can be. It can be hard keeping Imposter Syndrome at bay sometimes. 😅 Your art is such a ray of joy, I am so glad people are responding. Congrats!
Every time you opened a layer of the kiln or showed a product my thought was "ooo I would buy that at the market". I live in the UK so it is hopeless dreaming. But literally everything you make is right up my street and looks amazing
Congratulations to your huge success! So happy for you that all your hard work paid off, financially and emotionally. Literally putting a roof over your head - that is amazing. 👏🥳🍀
You deserve all the successes! People aren’t just buying a beautiful, unique, and useful item. They are buying the happiness & positivity you exude in your videos.
Can I just say...I don't usually get choked up when Watchung youtube, but I legit had tears streaming down because I could feel the absolute genuineness in your voice. Congratulations on your success.
I'm crying of happiness for you😭 for your happiness ❤Thank you for spreading Joy with your joyful, wonderful, inspirational personality! Love you Shelby. Cheers to many more Sold Out Markets, Restocks and any venture you set your mind on. You deserve all the goodness in the world.🥰
Shelby you are such a genuine, talented and beautiful artist. NEVER doubt your gifts as an artist or your right to create and share your art with the world. Congratulations 🎉 on your success. I am sure greater things are just around the corner. ❤Many blessings. 😃💕
Not that I expected anything less from you, but I’m delighted that you supported other artists when putting your booth together too. As an embroidery artist myself it always makes me so happy to see the craft appreciated🥰
You really were and are a little light in the covid darkness. Stop making me cry so early in the dogone morning😭😭Your stuff is so beautiful and seeing you make money on something you love is the dream. Keep showing us the way🎇
I'm not a potter, or even a professional maker-of-things (I make words instead.) Your videos absolutely radiate joy, purpose, and your overwhelming love of your art. You have inspired me beyond measure for the past couple of years, and I cried so many happy tears watching this. Congratulations, and thank you for reminding me that making things is truly creating joy in the world.
So happy for your excitement and success. It's not just your joy in what you do .. and your honesty .. but also your humility .. that attracts people to you. Well done and congrats!!!
I rarely comment on videos, but I had to for this one. I have been watching you for almost a year now, and you inspire me so much. I am a painter and also deal with raging imposter syndrome. I am not someone who cries easily, and I can't remember ever happy crying in my life, but I'm commenting to tell you that I happy cried with you when I watched this video just now. Congratulations, Shelby. Thank you so much for sharing what you do with the world. It makes such a difference for so many people that you will never even know. I know that you have touched my life in a positive way, even though it's unlikely we'll ever meet. I hope many more successes come your way.
I cried the whole second half of your video. I am so happy that you we able to feel so much love and success, especially after you worked so hard for it. You are worthy of all of it!
Hi Shelby, I’m a fan from the UK. I have tears in my eyes right now watching this video because really you deserve this so much. Your videos, your art and your wisdom and positivity are so so special and I’m so glad you could really feel that. Your impact is truly worldwide! 🩷
Congratulations! You are a phenomenal artist, a thoughtful content creator, and a beautiful spirit. you deserve all the happy tears and all the praise. I hope you never feel like an imposter ever again- you are the real deal and one of the very best. Thank you for all the beautiful videos. They are inspiring. ❤
As someone who has been self employed I teared up watching this. I am SO happy for you. When months of hard work pay off it is so rewarding and I am so glad your hard work paid off in ways you couldn't even imagine. I will continue to watch your stuff and can't wait to see where you go!
Congratulations on the wonderful sale, your corner of the internet is a lovely place to stop by; the people you met in Melbourne were perfectly placed to share the gratitude many of us feel! Thanks for sharing the love, best wishes from Canada!
I was too awkward to talk to you, you seemed so busy I didn’t want to hold you up!! But I loved being there and the lady and her child behind me in the queue were chatting about how much we love your videos and how awesome it was that you had the queue, no one is going to question your popularity or legitimacy in being there ever again! But that’s not how imposter syndrome works I know, it doesn’t just make it go away with logic unfortunately, as someone who also struggles with it 😅 but wanted you to know anyway! Had a great time there! Hope you’ll be back next year!
Oh my goodness. You are living my dream. This gave me the courage to keep going and it really inspired me. I cried this entire video. Absolutely beautiful.
i've never been more happy for someone I've never seen before - seems like such a well deserved success, and so happy you seem to be surrounded by equally lovely people.
Great job, Girl!!!! You deserve every bit of your success. People showed up because we all have so much love and admiration for this young woman who inspires us; a gem who gives so much love to us through her art. This is the epitome of "letting your light shine and not hiding it under a bush.' Again, great job. So proud of you!
Have enjoyed your vids since covid times & always love your energy of being yourself, and delighting in btful and cute things. I feel so pleased for you in your new studio and to see the support of your followers. Well done for your first market and congratulations!!! X
For my birthday and my sisters (we are a year and two days apart) her daughters and their husbands took us to a place where people can come, select greenware (I think) and decorate with underglazes. My oldest niece’s 3 teenagers came and we had a blast. My believe that there is no wrong choice in art. It is a continuous learning experience and the journey has mush to teach. All of our pieces came out beautifully! The kids want a kiln now. 😂😂😂
I am so glad you got to see a real tangible example of the impact your art and your attitude has. You fill our cup every week, I'm so so glad everyone managed to fill an entire water trough for you 💜💜
I had to drop out of art school 1 semester away from graduating. And then I got diagnosed with chronic Lyme and RA. My symptoms that lead me to getting my diagnosis was debilitating anxiety, and loss of mobility in my dominant hand. This has been a huge set back for me, and quite a few personal and medical speed bumps along the way, and has left me burnt out, traumatized, and uninspired. Seeing your work, and your journey has been uplifting. Idk where I want to go as an artist, but you saying you do this for personal joy, and to share that joy in return really was touching. Idk where I’m going, but I know I need to go as an artist. Blessings to you, Shelby.
This right here is exactly why I’m raising my son to follow his passions. I can only hope, as a mother, that one day he feels accomplishment like this! I cried like the entire second half of this video and I have no real clue why. I just am so happy for you that the support blew you away like this! ❤ Congratulations!
It warms my heart thinking about how much of Shelby's art has come out of the mystery molds. If I remember the story right, those molds were just gathering dust in the back of someone's storage shed for who knows how long, and now they're getting poured again, creating things that people will cherish. I swear, there's a pixar movie in here somewhere.
I live in the U.S. and wish I could have gone to your market. Your work is so unique and so beautiful. You are so inspiring Shelby. Your studio is so big and beautiful. I am so very happy for your success! Well done! Your kitty is just so cute. Still listening. I am just so extremely happy for you. Your own security guard, so cool!
You are such a breath of fresh air. Your passion is so exhilarating. It warms my heart to know that you are an inspiration to ALL generations who have the desire to persue their dreams of creating with all their talents. I paint on anything I can get my hands on 😅 wall murals, clay tiles, furniture... believe me... anything 😊 I was able to make money doing so and hold down a full time job. Even though I ran myself ragged....my love of painting was my refuge. Keep your dream....it will reward you in mind, body and spirit 🙏❤️ God bless you.
I LOVE how hard you had to fight to get into this fair, and now look -- you're the main draw! You will be a permanent fixture there, and placed right in the back as an anchor stall next time! I adore watching a young person's beloved career and hard work just skyrocket like this. 🙂
Congratulations 🎉 The amount of feelings that radiate from you as you talked about how grateful you were made me tear up. You're wonderful! You worked so hard for this market. You deserve this! Rejoice! Your art is beautiful 💗
I’m with everyone else in your comment section aka “your fans”, tearing up and feeling so proud of you. You totally deserve every bit of it. You radiate light and joy and I’m so glad it’s coming back to you in this best way possible. I hope you now know your art is amazing and you belong with all of those artisans. Thank you for all of the joy you have given me with your lovely videos. I hope your new roof is awesome and leak free. I wish you all the happiness and success one life can have. Congrats on a job well done ❤
This is so wonderful to hear "I have full belief in myself"!! One of the must ingredients, which mixing it with your talent and your hard work, devotion, persistence of what you create, led you to your success! Beautiful, inside and outside, your face shines of kindness. I'm a polymer clay artist living at Cyprus. Sending you my love. ❤️
I’m literally just so happy for you. You exude joy in a world that really needs it, this kind of turnout is because you are incredible, real, delightful and amazing, and you deserve all the good things because you give so much💜 I am so overjoyed to see someone doing what they love with so much passion have such great success.
I’m so glad it was so wonderful. You worked so hard in the last few months and it paid off. You must have been so overwhelmed, but how amazing to have the wonderful response from your fans. You are amazing Shelby and you deserve the recognition you’ve worked for years to achieve. 💖
I should be sleeping but now I'm crying and feeling so proud of you. Love seeing your joy and how humble you are. A suggestion if you can find a photo of you behind the stall with the crazy long line print it out and put it somewhere in the studio. The days when you're feeling tired, down or anything look at that photo and remember that crazy long line and how people came just to see you and buy something of yours. Thanks for showing all the products at the end. Since covid I've loved seeking out fellow Aussie businesses so I can support them. Especially if they are small country ones. Congratulations ❤
You deserve all of the love you got! I’m watching from Puerto Rico and cried as you were telling the story. Your art is beautiful and your hard work definitely shows.
Thank you so much for the photosensitivity warning! People can forget that subtle "flashing" like that can be tricky for some people too - for me personally it can set off migraines and anxiety attacks. This is the first video of yours I've watched, I already love your art and content :)
That is the best validation for you doing what you love. What's even better is that the trickle down for other vendors benefitting is amazing too. That's fantastic.
Well done, Shelby. Congratulations, hunni. Keep bringing sunshine into the world with your beautiful pottery and sweet, genuine nature ❤ again. Congratulations Shelby 🎊 🎉
Trying not to cry as I watch the video 😭 Thank you for your beautiful art and being inspiring. My partner and I came on Friday (could see us in the queue!) and we were excited not only to see you but also how successful you were. My partner paused this video and screamed “IT’S HIM” at when they saw the frog we purchased!
I am so happy for you, there is a word that I learned, an old word, it's confelicity, meaning taking joy in the good fortune of others. You deserve all the best things and you earned every dollar in your pocket and on your roof.
Your kitten is being SO helpful, haha. 😻 Having watched until the end now, I am SO pleased for you. It’s lovely to see a genuinely kind person do well!! 💜
As an artist this made me cry happy tears with you. I couldn’t imagine the feeling congrats to you darling! Your work is amazing & you deserved every bit of that line & support
You got me crying, tissues and all 😭 I’m so incredibly happy for you. Well done sweetheart. It’s not just your artwork that we love, we love your beautiful kind soul. Congratulations 🥳 🎉💕
My darling Shelby I have watched you from your first unpacking of the moulds .... I am so happy that you can physically see how loved you are. You have an innocence and beauty that we all need to see and be reminded exists 💖 Bless you and congratulations 🤩
Just an FYI, a few people have brought up the Lillie’s and the kitten. I keep my cats away from all plants and flowers which is why they live inside. Our little kitten was out in the studio as I was packing for the market as she still needed a lot of supervision as she got climatized to her new home.
The shot where I have the Lillie’s happened after the kitten had moved inside already. I actually forgot to show off the collar so brought her outside. I took that shot and took her back inside. The Lillie’s were already in the bin at this point because they were old.
Thank you for being so concerned but please know my little miss had no contact whatsoever with those flowers or any of the plants and dried flowers in my studio.
Good to hear
The kitten is so adorable!!!
Such a polite response.

Not me crying with you as you're talking about everything. So proud of you ❤ Congratulations 🍾
Girl - me too. :')
Me three!
Same 🥲
Saaame💙🥹
Hahaha same 🥺💖💖
You are the sweetest and this experience is so deserved! I'm so happy for you!
Thank you so so much!! I am blown away by the support!
Came for the emotional market report, stayed for the kitten. Love the chaos kitten!
Hehe how cute is she! I had full trust in her! A little cautious watching but she is so gentle!
Not me crying through this whole video. This is beautiful. I love that all of these people showed up for you.
I know! It was just some of the loveliest most wholesome people in the world. There was also such a diverse range of people which also blew me away!
Oh Shelby- I’ve never been so proud of someone I’ve never met. You deserve every ounce of love and joy and appreciation of your talent that comes your way. I cried right along with you! Thank you for being your talented and lovely self ❤
Thank you so so much lovely! It just feels so lovely to have this beautiful community around pottery and art! I feel so so special!
"Imposter syndrome comes from caring." That in the single most comforting way someone has ever explained that.
When I heard someone else say that in my travels, I instantly adapted it to my way of thinking. It just shows that you really care for your craft or whatever you are doing so you worry you might not do it justice. Its the best and it takes out some of the self sabotaging mentality!
🤗 I cried when you first showed the line. All through the first years of the pandemic, you have been a friend I never met. I'm happy everyone came to meet you and take home an adorable piece of you pottery. You deserve success and to know your honest, generous, videos, sharing your art and travels with mean to your community. 😉👍💖🕊
I can’t tell you how very happy I am for your success at the show !iI think it’s wonderful that your art was so appreciated !

Thank you so so much! It definitely popped once it was all put together!
Oh my Shelby, you need to understand how much your happiness and joy have impacted our lives during these difficult years. We love you. You are only reaping what you’ve sown… blessings to you!
I feel like the painting you do on your pieces would be just as long as the firing! 😂😂❤
This video was just so beautiful ❤. You made me cry with joy from your joy ❤🥲 and your new kitten is such a cutie, hope she doesn’t wreck havoc but does find her way into art inspo 😉 Love you Shelby ❤
I'm so not surprised by this at all. Your pieces are so freaking adorable and you can see the love, time, and effort you put into each individual piece. 💖 keep making the world beautiful, you sweet and wholesome human being. What you do is magic just as much as it is art.
I am so happy for you! I found you from the mystery mold series, and this fall I will be adding ceramics to my middle school! Keep it up, keep being you, and keep exploring your art. 💗💗💗
That is so so wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for your love!!
I’m not crying, you’re crying 🥹
Ohhh Shelby-how wonderful for you!!

I also live in the UK and I would buy so many of her pieces 😍😍
I live in the Netherlands and would buy it in real life if i could and then going home poor but with lovely handmade products 🥰
Congratulations to your huge success! So happy for you that all your hard work paid off, financially and emotionally. Literally putting a roof over your head - that is amazing. 👏🥳🍀
Don't apologize for tears, tears are humanity. Sharing your humanity with others should honour us. Well done.

My joy for you is coming out in tears! So crazy how I could get emotionally vested in the success of someone that I don't even know!
Shelby you are a treasure, your enthusiasm is infectious and you bring a smile to my face, watching you has made my day 🤗
Cannot think of a better person for this to happen to ☺ You put so much positivity and joy out into the world 🌻

Omg I'm in tears she's just so adorable and I've only popped in out of a recommendation from YT... so wholesome and cute.
No one deserves this more than you! We are so proud of your accomplishments. May there be many more in your future! You got this! :)
I had to drop out of art school 1 semester away from graduating. And then I got diagnosed with chronic Lyme and RA.

Still listening. I am just so extremely happy for you. Your own security guard, so cool!
You are such a breath of fresh air. Your passion is so exhilarating.

Delighted that it went so well for someone who puts out such a positive vibe.
A dream for any craft-seller!
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Congrats, Shelby!!!
That story of you getting a guard to watch over your crowd was sooo funny!
You are the reason why I started doing pottery! I'm so happy for you that your work inspires others as much as it inspires me. Stay inspired! 🌅
I LOVE how hard you had to fight to get into this fair, and now look -- you're the main draw! You will be a permanent fixture there, and placed right in the back as an anchor stall next time! I adore watching a young person's beloved career and hard work just skyrocket like this. 🙂

You totally deserve every bit of it. You radiate light and joy and I’m so glad it’s coming back to you in this best way possible.
I hope you now know your art is amazing and you belong with all of those artisans.
Thank you for all of the joy you have given me with your lovely videos. I hope your new roof is awesome and leak free. I wish you all the happiness and success one life can have. Congrats on a job well done ❤
You made me cry. Happy cries. I'm so so happy all of your hard work paid off and was so successful. Congratulations Shelby
This is so wonderful to hear "I have full belief in myself"!! One of the must ingredients, which mixing it with your talent and your hard work, devotion, persistence of what you create, led you to your success! Beautiful, inside and outside, your face shines of kindness. I'm a polymer clay artist living at Cyprus. Sending you my love. ❤️
I’m literally just so happy for you. You exude joy in a world that really needs it, this kind of turnout is because you are incredible, real, delightful and amazing, and you deserve all the good things because you give so much💜 I am so overjoyed to see someone doing what they love with so much passion have such great success.
It’s always lovely when nice people win. Well done!
I’m so glad it was so wonderful. You worked so hard in the last few months and it paid off. You must have been so overwhelmed, but how amazing to have the wonderful response from your fans. You are amazing Shelby and you deserve the recognition you’ve worked for years to achieve. 💖
I should be sleeping but now I'm crying and feeling so proud of you. Love seeing your joy and how humble you are. A suggestion if you can find a photo of you behind the stall with the crazy long line print it out and put it somewhere in the studio. The days when you're feeling tired, down or anything look at that photo and remember that crazy long line and how people came just to see you and buy something of yours. Thanks for showing all the products at the end. Since covid I've loved seeking out fellow Aussie businesses so I can support them. Especially if they are small country ones. Congratulations ❤
There is so much joy and beauty in your creations.
They simply makes me happy 😊💜
MLP came up with a perfect word for how you're feeling: "nervouscited"
I am so glad to see you did so well. Love to hear this.
You did so well!!
i'm not crying, you're crying (except i'm totally crying) 😭 congrats on your huge success 💛
Not me watching this video and (as a creative) sobbing through the second half. You DESERVE THIS!!!! So unbelievably happy for you!!!!
Ok now I’m crying , 50 yr old man Ohio USA and she got me with the tin roof, how sweet!
You deserve all of the love you got! I’m watching from Puerto Rico and cried as you were telling the story. Your art is beautiful and your hard work definitely shows.
I am so glad I was not the only one crying with happiness for you! You are so sweet and so deserving! So happy for you!
Crying at the joy in your voice and the look on your face as you talk about your more than deserved achievement 🎉
Thank you so much for the photosensitivity warning! People can forget that subtle "flashing" like that can be tricky for some people too - for me personally it can set off migraines and anxiety attacks. This is the first video of yours I've watched, I already love your art and content :)
Woo hoo!! Congratulations! I’m so excited for you 🥰🥰 you are amazing!!
That is the best validation for you doing what you love. What's even better is that the trickle down for other vendors benefitting is amazing too. That's fantastic.
I can’t imagine having a line like that at my booth. I would probably start crying too. Congrats! You worked so hard!
Well done, Shelby. Congratulations, hunni. Keep bringing sunshine into the world with your beautiful pottery and sweet, genuine nature ❤ again. Congratulations Shelby 🎊 🎉
Trying not to cry as I watch the video 😭 Thank you for your beautiful art and being inspiring. My partner and I came on Friday (could see us in the queue!) and we were excited not only to see you but also how successful you were. My partner paused this video and screamed “IT’S HIM” at when they saw the frog we purchased!
Better than Disney because it's real! A dream come true. Congratulations on your commercial and artistic success.
You are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your craft with the world and thanks for documenting the journey 🎨🎞️✨🏆
I am so happy for you, there is a word that I learned, an old word, it's confelicity, meaning taking joy in the good fortune of others. You deserve all the best things and you earned every dollar in your pocket and on your roof.
I hope you know how very proud of you we all are Shelby 🥰 we are so so so proud! Well done!
Your kitten is being SO helpful, haha. 😻
Having watched until the end now, I am SO pleased for you. It’s lovely to see a genuinely kind person do well!! 💜
As an artist this made me cry happy tears with you. I couldn’t imagine the feeling congrats to you darling! Your work is amazing & you deserved every bit of that line & support

You got me crying, tissues and all 😭 I’m so incredibly happy for you. Well done sweetheart. It’s not just your artwork that we love, we love your beautiful kind soul. Congratulations 🥳 🎉💕
