This Mom Didn't Sell Anything At A Craft Fair So Twitter Bought Everything
December 6, 2016
A couple weeks ago, Martyn Hett from Manchester, England checked in with his mom to see if she was having a nice time at the craft fair. She told him she was a little sad that no one was buying any of her stuff.
Feeling sorry for her, Martyn tweeted the picture of his mom's stall at the craft fair.
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

Not long after Martyn tweeted the picture, a friend bought a glove monster from her Depop page.

One purchase turned into three.

And before she knew it, Martyn’s mom, Figen, had a lot of work to do to keep up with demands!

If you fancy logging onto Figen’s Depop page to buy something, you might have some trouble because it's SOLD OUT!

But don't worry, Figen will be updating her page ASAP!
