You should not have to 'take it' or feel 'flattered', speaking out helps. I got flamed for even suggesting I was copied, not even hinting at who it was.

I certainly do not consider imitation a compliment. We can strive to attain a certain standard and ethic but the style should remain individual.<BR/><BR/>Kindest regards<BR/>PatriciaSouthern Bearshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951949468586479699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-571238967019462780.post-83155305496528336392009-01-28T05:46:00.000-08:002009-01-28T05:46:00.000-08:00I'm so sorry this happened to you :( (((hugs)))I'm so sorry this happened to you :( <BR/>(((hugs)))Haute Country Vintage Co.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00531760813366121178noreply@blogger.com
