First ReCovered Vintage Customer Blog Props.

I had a lovely experience with my first buyer. She was a doll from all the way Down Under! Here is she had to say:

"I just received this most amazing vintage lace dress in the mail – I believe it’s from the 1960s. I bought it from Etsy last week, and have been anxiously awaiting its arrival. It’s a really wonderful cut – I love the long sleeves & the little pleat at the front. It even has lace-covered buttons! In general, I’m not someone who wears a lot of tan, but somehow this dress calls for these tan boots which I discovered at a market sometime last year."(vintage dress from RecoveredVintage, vintage boots from St Andrews market)

Going out on a limb, and getting ripped off. Enough!

Back in September, after much encouragement from friends and family, I decided to post some of my original designs on one of my etsy pages I have for jewelry mistyincontrera. The pieces are completely unique made from recycled computer parts I acquired from my late father-in-law. This week, while wandering through etsy searching the key word computer, I ran across a person who attempted to make the same pieces as mine, using the exact aluminum rectangle I acquired from michael's. (And the computer resistors. )The even crazier part is, there was an extra ring attached to the rectangle I removed and they did too. Don't want to bore you with all the super obvious similarities, but there are sooo many. Except for the quality. I won't go into that either but draw your own conclusions. (will post pic soon)

I attempted to contact the person respectfully and have yet to receive a response. I had a coworker write the letter for me so that I did not act on too much emotion.

The most amazing part of this story is that I have linked all my sites to GOOGLE ANALYTICS (such an amazing and free statistic analyzing tool) that tells me where, when and who was looking at my sight and products down to the most specific detail. I have all the data that connects this person to looking at the necklace various times, perhaps a study of my original design. Interesting side note I posted my pieces in september and theirs was in November.

So from this point on, I will never post an original design that can be duplicated in some way.

I was too trusting and so many people lack a since of moral character, that it saddens my litte heart! tear. tear.

Sorry for the rant, I had to get this one out of my head! So I can move on! DEEP BREATH!
