Jewelry sale at my shop

Shop Re-Opening!
Well, it’s getting there. Left Artfire and now back on Etsy. I stopped 2 years ago as my MS took over. Now I am trying to take my life back. Am hoping it works as I need the boost. It’s going to be a long process getting all my jewelry listed, but it keeps me going. Just hoping for some success here. Only time will tell..
Love and Light
Just Say NO!
Etsy Blog comments
My comments to the Etsy Blog
First comment:
I, for one, am very glad Etsy finally took a stand. For me however, the stand came much too late. That terrible site was left up for much too long. Myself and many friends are already leaving the Etsy site.
For those ‘wondering’ about other unsure items, you must have been out of the loop regarding the site in question. The site clearly harassed certain groups of people, which was already in the terms. Still wondering why it took so long to remove.
My only regret is no longer selling or shopping here. Funny thing is one of the Etsy designers purchased from the shop and thought the demeaning and harassing cards were funny. Go figure!
Good luck to all…
Second Comment after seeing not much had changed:
ROFL!!! The site, with the offensive name, is still there as are a couple of the cards in question. One just had a word added to make it seem ok.
I’m all for freedom of speech, but this was/is straight out cruelty towards a group of people.
Guess it is ok to show a man hanging on a cross and call him ‘some dead guy’. Because that card is still up. And the other cards in questions are still showing in his sold items!
Nothing would have been done if we had not gotten together and received almost 25,000 signatures and Jane Velez Mitchell involved. All the cards would still be there. Etsy is a joke!

Everything I wrote was true and completely in tune with the blog. Seems they deleted this comment as the truth hurts and sent me a pm:
Hi there,
I recognize that you are upset over a specific shop, and I encourage you to send your concerns to content@etsy.com. The blog comments, however, are not an appropriate forum to talk about this, particularly when they do not relate to the post. I’ve thus deleted your comments and ask that you refrain from continuing to post about the issue. I hope you understand.
Best,
Alison
My comment back:
My comment had everything to do with the post seeing as you removed some but not others of the cards in question. Etsy did not do as they said.
My comments were in truth and in no way slander. This proves Etsy takes what they like and leave the rest!
I sent my concerns to your support with no replies. If a comment is true in nature, you have no right to delete said comment. That is in breech of the first amendment.

As stated above, Etsy is a joke!
Shop and sell with ArtFire, the only way to go!
Etsy: Policy Changes
UPDATE: Etsy is a joke. The site is still there and some cards as well, just a word change here and there. I guess poking fun at religion and showing ‘a dead guy’ on a cross, as the shop owner puts it is also okay in Etsy’s book. Wake up people…
Policy Change: Prohibiting Items and Listings That Disparage or Promote Hate
For me and many others this is a day late and a dollar short. They are making it look like it was a lil mishap and they took care of it straight away. NOT!!! This shop had complaints going for weeks. Nothing was done except a few blanket responses.
It took over 16,000 signatures and a spot on Jane Velez Mitchell’s show for them to even give a shit. One of Etsy’s own designers purchased from the shop and wrote how the cards were hilarious.
To understand my disdain go here: Leaving Etsy.
All their “aren’t we awesome cause we wrote new terms of use blog” did was leave a poor taste in my mouth. If not for the signatures and the Jane Velez Mitchell spot, the cards would still be there. They care nothing for how it made some fellow Etsians feel.
I am proud of the stand I took!! My reply to their blog:

Leaving ETSY
My NEW info on my ETSY page:
Due to ETSY allowing a disgusting person to sell disgusting items, I am moving back to ArtFire.
ETSY feels that cards making fun of children with Downs Syndrome, congratulating people on being raped and being diagnosed with AIDS and Breast Cancer is not against their terms of use. WTF I think they need to pull their heads out of their ass’.
If they or a loved one ‘applied’ to any of these cards or if they had compassion this shop would be gone.
I love funny off kilter jokes and am a bit off myself at times, but this type of freedom of speech is not funny. Here’s funny… I hope those that find this okay and think it’s funny, will need one of these cards one day. Then let’s see how funny they are!
————
For those who I purchase from regularly, I’m sorry, But I will not be purchasing from there either.
I hope others follow suit and leave here as well. It all about principles and morals which it seems etsy does not have.
To see what I am referring to and SIGN the petition [which does not seem to bother etsy] go here:
Petition to Remove re: Etsy shop
This is a letter a friend who complained as well received from the powers at esty. I still have no received anything back from them.
This is Adam Brown, I’m the press manager at Etsy. Thank you for sharing your concerns about this shop. I’m sorry to see that something in our marketplace was upsetting to you. I agree with you that the items are offensive. But, they are not illegal, nor are they breaking any of Etsy’s rules about selling on the site.
Since …it appears that you have already received our standard response, I will skip it. Please feel free to pass along my contact information.
Thank you,
Adam

Hey Adam, get your head outta your ass dude!!
Etsy’s official policy is to take no responsibility for the products sold on its site. Etsy’s official Terms of Use state that it “has no control over the quality, safety, morality or legality of any aspect of the items listed.” However, in the list of prohibited items, Etsy says that it does not allow items that harass others or that are deemed obscene.
So Adam, Congratulating someone on getting raped is not obscene?? Again you and your company need to get your heads out of your ass!!!!
————————————–
Since my morals seem to be above others, I’m outta etsy. I guarantee they make more off of my shop than this other idiots, and money is what it’s all about right?
I hope to see you at my new shop on ArtFire.
Blessings and Hope!
Ampyra and other mindless thoughts
After being off the Ampyra for 2 weeks thanks to the prescription insurance buffoons, I finally got back on. The weird thing is I felt better being off of it than being back on it. I actually had more leg strength when off it then i do now. hmmmmm Makes me think may not be the right medication for MY PPMS! If I do not notice any real differences in the next couple of months, I’m done!!
Now the prescription ins people, CVS Caremark, are denying me a medication they approved for me for the past two years. WTF, Really!! So now i get the fun task of calling them and letting them have it! Greedy bastards!!
——————————–
I added some new things to my sale items sections, and all kinds of new glass pendant necklaces, my newest love, to the shop. I am finding that when I am at my design table and making new pieces, it helps keep away those depression gremlins.
Keep an eye out for more ‘fun’ discount codes as December arrives. You’ll be able to save up to 20%.

If I’m not back by Thursday, Happy Thanksgiving, to all who celebrate.
Losing my mind!!
Aha, got your attention! lol Actually my facebook status from their status shuffle says it all:
Lil’ ole’ me has lost my mind and doesn’t know where to find it, I’ll leave it alone, hoping it will come home, dragging my brain beside it!
I love it and it is so me!!
Things are going pretty good. Being back on Etsy is gr8. I made 2 sales, ty Frannie and Tina, and actually feel like making new things again. It gets me out of my room at least. I still am not feeling the ‘outside’ world yet since my hell stay, but baby steps ya know!
Awaiting return calls from some attorneys, but I think they are afraid of taking on the hospital. So, have some calls today to outside attorneys. You would think they [hospital liaison] would at least call to check in on how things are going, since they told me to keep themapprised on the bills. Ya, RIGHT!! lol They want me to forget, not happening.
My kids are off school for spring break. The girls get 2 weeks, the boy gets one. It’s actually been nice so far. Friends coming and going, so they are not bored. Bored kids are annoying kids. lol So keeping them busy is a gr8 thing. Austin went to Magic Mountain yesterday. FUN! He said he had a blast!
I love coasters!!! Woo Hoo!!
Hope everyone is having a great day/night wherever you may be!!
Blessings and Hope!
A Fabulous Flair’s new location
A Fabulous Flair is now back on Etsy!! It was my first home and it did me well! Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke! lol
Added some new things today and some old:
I will be adding new pieces weekly if I am able. I am very happy to be back on Etsy.
I still have my other site for my Recycles . Right now I have a gr8 beginners flute available with lots of accessories that go with it.
*****************************
I want to wish a very happy 21st Birthday to Amanda Eldridge as well. So wish i could have been there to celebrate this day with you. Know that I was there in spirit!! Hope you had a couple of drinks for me!!
*****************************
Also on a good note, I got my first Living Dead Doll, Jasper:
I know, I know, a bit creepy but so cool!! lol
Anywho, hope everyone is having a great day/evening wherever you may be!
Blessings and Hope!!
