“Why don’t you sell all these showpieces? As it is, we are struggling with our lives. This is the least you can do.”
Laura, the youngest member of the Davis family loved making small showpieces out of crystals from the time she was a teenager. Though they weren’t really well off, Nick, her father always ensured that his daughter had all the tools to keep her hobby going.
Over the years, she had made showpieces of varied shapes, sizes and colours. It was just a hobby until the day Nick’s business crashed and he was forced to file for bankruptcy.

It’s so touching and how life can crash. At times, tough to come to terms with something we cared and was our livelihood. You poured the emotions so well.
