I don't share often any more, I have lots to fill a booth. It is good to discuss how things will be before you get there.

How did this situation pan out, Jill? If you don't mind my two cents, this is obviously something that's bothering you, and I do think you should talk about it openly, otherwise it'll eat you inside! You don't need to be mean, just sit down with her and say you've noticed she was copying a lot of what you were doing, and you feel uncomfortable with it (if she's copying your item descriptions, then there's no two ways about it, she can't claim it's a coincidence). I know we generally like to be friends with everybody, but if this lady takes offence that you're bothered by her copies, then maybe she's not a very good friend to have? No one wants a vampire in their lives Good luck, I really do hope you sort this out, I'd be torn if it happened to me as well.

Thanks for asking about it, Leonor. We had another craft fair this weekend, but on separate tables, which she seems to have accepted OK. & I was outside in the sunshine, by the entrance, so that was a great position.
I decided I could ignore the Etsy wording copy, as there are hundreds of people selling on there & it wasn't anything that would be derogatory to my shop. I had a quick look at her new work this month & didn't see any obvious copies (partly because I no longer share with her new ideas & techniques & experiences I have had). So I have let it go.
Life's too short & felting's too much fun to hold anger in!!!
Hopefully that's the end of that... (if not, then you are absolutely right & I will need to brave that discussion.)

Good to know there's been positive developments, Jill! Here's hoping you don't need to do anything else about this... You're right, life's too short!
