Oh No! Our First Bad Seller Review :(

I'm sad to say, we have our first Bad Seller Review :(

I know, I was hoping it wouldn't happen either!!

Our Very First Post on this blog was about The Little Mermaid. We showed a gorgeous handbag by

NinasCustomDesigns

that we were very interested in for my daughters 6th birthday. We were also very interested in one of her Little Mermaid Dresses.

Well, we ordered a dress and handbag for Christmas.

Baaaaaaaad idea sadly!!

The handbag is gorgeous - very well made, handle shorter than pictured, but *meh* can live with that.

Dress was AWFUL!!

Our Advice here at DragonMumma's Envy - AVOID!!

Sewing is abysmal. Trim is replaced with whatever the seller thinks works - without any consultation. Trim is missing - apparently "forgotten". Seller then ignores any other contact she doesn't like. We requested a partial refund (we are not sending the dress back a week before Christmas and at Aussie Post Prices for her to not do what we paid for originally - seller accepted that she had messed up, but was only willing to change a few items and not to actually do what we had originally paid for) but seller then chose to ignore us.

So, might want to avoid this particular seller. What a pity.

CATCHUP!!!

lol, we have been totally slack in updating this blog - when we discovered Treasuries on Etsy, well...suffice to say, they are easier by FAR than this blog!! But I haven't neglected this blog altogether, I have had items sitting in my favorites bar just waiting for their chance!!

And Here goes!!

Sorry sorry I'm here now! Doing a Regretsy one tonight!!

I know, no-one has posted for aaaggggggeeeessssss. Our excuse is that none of us were into 'blogging' or even really the computer lately! With the sun coming out here and being beautiful weather for the most part, we have been spending heaps of time outside or off with friends.

But I did manage to make a few treasuries for Etsy - That Was Fun!!!

A Journal to the days end

and

Where Dragons Dare

(clicky links to my treasuries)

Basically, I did the dragon one...well because I adore Dragons!! And the Journal one because I am desperately looking for a specific journal for recording our homeschooling. Really wish they hadn't taken away the Alchemy requests - some Etsy Seller could have made one for me!!

So anyway, here are a few things I have discovered lately!!

This is by a Regretsian forum member, Etsy Seller and TeamApril Admin - LOVE this!!

Regretsy Sellers

Here's a blog post on some Regretsy Sellers I have met through the Regretsy Forums - and therefore, seen their fabulous stuff!!

So, we now have a New SubTitle - Regretsy Seller - because its easier to put their Whimsicle F**kery there than split it up!

Now First of All - AprilsArmy by Regretsy Author Helen Killer/April Winchell.

Every Month, Crafters and Creators donate an item or two to AprilsArmy and when sold, all proceeds go to assisting other Crafters/People in need.

Skirts Skirts and More Skirts!!

I love skirts! Not that I wear them (lol) all that much, but I have a definite taste in long, flowing, twirly skirts. Always have! I made my mum make my school skirts full ankle length ones, when all my friends were figuring out ways to make them as close to crotch height as possible! Coped a bit of flack for it, but I didn't care.

So here are a few skirts I found on Etsy ...
