Overheard at the Booth: Funny, Sweet & Just a Bit Weird
There’s something magical about connecting with people face-to-face at markets. Whether it's a small-town festival or a big makers event, we never quite know what someone will say when they walk up to our Acorn & Artisan booth. Over the years, we’ve heard some things—the kind that make you laugh, feel seen, and sometimes question how many people think we sell actual birds.
So, in the spirit of sharing the weird and wonderful, here are a few real quotes from real customers we’ve heard while slinging bird puns, stickers, and suncatchers at markets around Texas:
1. “I saw some boobies once.”
Let’s be clear… we're talking blue-footed boobies, the tropical bird with bright turquoise feet and an even brighter personality. (But hey, we get it. The double meaning makes it fun.)
2. “You’re a little weirdo, aren’t you?”
Yes. Proudly. This comment felt more like a badge of honor than an insult—because if being a little weird means obsessing over birds with silly names and turning them into art, then we’re 100% here for it.
3. “Your artwork is beautiful.”
This one never gets old. Whether it's someone pointing to a suncatcher casting rainbows or picking up a sticker with a great tit (the bird!), kind words like this remind us why we do what we do. Nature is beautiful. Humor makes it approachable.
4. “You think this up? It’s funny.”
Every pun, every cheeky caption, every bird sticker starts as a sketch in our studio. We love bringing you joy through our art, and hearing laughter from across the booth is our favorite kind of feedback.
5. “I’m really picky about what stickers go on my laptop…”
...and then they pick one of ours. Cue happy dance. Whether it's a 'Fowl Language' magnet or a ‘Let’s Get This Bread’ booby sticker, we love knowing our art finds a home on your favorite surfaces.

These moments aren’t just funny—they’re reminders that our little bird-loving, pun-celebrating community is full of people who value uniqueness, creativity, and maybe a little silliness. Whether you're shopping online or stopping by in person, you're part of the flock.
