BCMM WISHES THE BEST TO HEATHER AS SHE RECREATES HER DESIGNING WORLD
GOODBYE To Daisy-Head-Maisy
AND HELLO TO-- GoosieGirl_Boutique
PLEASE READ:
A designing mom worked hard to establish
herself in the market,
she created a business of her very own making,
but Dr. Seuss said,
"Our name you are taking"
"Daisy Head Mayzie is a Suess character, you see,
We know you spell if different, but you are infring-ing
"Don't make us open up a can and get all grinchy
they said with a frown
we will take your to court and bring your reputation down
"This hard working mom never said she was related
but the cat in the hat's widow argued and negated
Get rid of your website, ebay id, & etsy shop all together,
It doesn't matter that you've had this name for 4 years,
inconsequential and naive, little Heather!
Through the face of it all, this mom thought she'd persist
Until she was served with a cease and desist
The name has been canceled, but the business
will go on
Perhaps it wouldn't matter if she were in Taiwan?
The mom will go on and build a costume empire,
in the face of adversity while coming under fire
from the stingy widow of the cat in the hat
the mom will start over, and come right back
This talented mom will bring costumes to the world,
raggie bows she will make and rolls of tulle will unfurl,
Word to the wise, don't mess with a mom who's
got to feed her kids
by selling on etsy and getting ebay bids
Top quality tutu gowns and cute girly things,
will continue to flow from the hands of this
dedicated mom....
You'll soon be able to find her doing business at
www.GoosieGirlBoutique.com
*****************************************
(Yes, it's true, I was served a cease and desist order from the widow of Dr. Seuss's attorneys.
I have to change my ebay id, close my etsy shop, change the name of my blog, and stop doing business on my website that I've worked so hard to establish!!
I'd appreciate it if you'd save my new ebay id:
GoosieGirl_Boutique
and coming soon will be my new website, located at:
GoosieGirlBoutique.com
(it should be up next week). Please tell your friends, it's devestating for a business to have to re-establish themselves after working so hard. I never attempted to make it appear that I was affiliated in any way, shape or form with the Seuss character or their organization, but apparently they don't care about that. I'm looking forward to this new journey and hope that you'll drop a comment of support off at my blog where I posted this story. I've seen the boutique community come together and support designing Moms for so many things and I hope that my word of mouth campaign to let people know about my new business name, will spread like wildfire.
Long live the WAHM and Designing at Home, Handmade Movement!

WHAT I LOVE TO SELL ON EBAY:
We love to sell mostly girls clothing, our specialty is Deco for kids, tweens and Moms.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DESIGNING:
Well for me since I was a teen. My mom has been desginign and sewing sicne she was a teen. We love doing this together and really have a lot of fun with it.
HOW LONG HAVE YOU SOLD ON EBAY:
I think its been about 4 years now.
WHERE DOES YOUR INSPIRATION COME FROM?
For me its fabric, I see something and I look at it and get an idea. My mom has all these ideas bubbling in her head nad she is an artist and sketches them out, but we're so busy doing the Deco all the time she hasn't had much of a chance to really do what she wants. Which I think will change this summer, she plans on doing some fall sets with her designs. And she would say Sydnee is her inspiration. Me its fabric.
IF THERE WAS ONE THING YOU WOULD LOVE TO LEARN WHAT IS IT?
HAHA I would love to learn to sew.
WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE WITH US?
I am recently in a new group. Cintre, which means hanger in Italian. We are having our debut next Tuesday. We are a group made up of seasoned designers. A few of them were in the very first ebay design group way back when. So far its been really fun and these gals keep me laughing every day. I'm also in the Dapper Quackers with some really fun girls (Boutique DQ) and have made some good friends in there. I just love being able to do this with my mom and the modeling and picture taking is really my passion now with Sydnee. I love having a girl and being able to dress her in Boutique Custom!
