My last craft show was a HUGE success! I'm definately doing that one again next year!!
However, i am hesitant and want to hear some feedback on this.
A woman approached me at this craft show, acting all interested in what i do. Then blatantly told me she was stealing my ideas for the same show next year!!!
Then she had the nerve to ask if she could take pictures!! I told her no obviously.
What do i do? It makes me not want to post things here, because i give out my card with the web address sometimes. ususally i give out my CTMH link. very rarely did i give out my blog, but i dont want people that are going to sell the things IN MY AREA to steal from me, and be so obvious about it that they would take pictures. i've never copied anything exactly off of someone, and i hope they wouldnt off of me. Yes, i save templates, but thats when people put them out there for that purpose. However i make alot of my own template (tic tac holders, chapstick holders, calendars, ect) and alot of work goes into it. this has put me off a bit, and i'm sure i will get over it sooner or later. i just dont want to post just yet. i did make about $225, after all my costs though! GO ME!

Wow, how blatantly rude of that lady. A friend had a similar nasty experience when she was at a craft fair selling her stuff. All these mean girls came to her booth asking all sorts of questions and being mean to some degree. I don't understand what motivates these ladies to behave in such a way. Jealousy is so ugly! Pay no mind to her. . .you can't avoid it. Don't avoid posting stuff on your site . . .blogging suppose to be about sharing and having fun!! For someone to notice your stuff. . .is I think flattering! It means you did a great job!!

ReplyDeleteI don't know what to say about the woman trying to steal your stuff. The nerve of some people!
