Thought I'd have an early night tonight and then realised that I'd started a blog page and forgotten all about it by being so busy! Imagine my surprise when I looked and saw that my one and only blog was published last May! My god where has the time gone?? Well I've been so busy I suppose like everyone else that works and runs a home - we're all in the same boat -not enough hours in the day!
I've decided that I need a 36 hour day - 12 of those hours just to sleep please! If only!!
Anyway, the reason for my blog and dragging the laptop into bed with me was to have an early night and a cheeky browse on the internet. Being naturally curious (or nosy, call it what you want!) I thought I'd take a look at our local competition on their EBay page and website just to have a peek and see what they've been up to recently!
You can imagine my utter annoyance when I checked out their website and saw that they've completely plagiarised my website and more or less copied my content word for word. Yes the air was blue! Spitting feathers doesn't come even close. Even their stock items are exactly the same as what we buy or have bought in the past - and we're pretty niche so its not a coincidence! Secondhand Wonderland my arse more like CopyCat Get Your Own F**king Idea Land!
What can I say? I'm now pacing the bedroom thinking of some crazy one upmanship idea to get over on them, all the while reasoning with myself to be the better person and rise above it all. So here it is:
If anyone out there loves the retro vibe, the swinging 60's and the vibrant 70's or mid century furniture then please get in touch with us at www.cushtynretro.co.uk or email cushtynretro@gmail.com We'd love to hear from you and if you have any questions about second hand furniture whether its early, mid century or retro then please ask as my partner is passionate about this stuff and what he doesn't know you can fit on the back of a stamp. I myself am a shabby chic-er so I love painting - its very therapeutic and I get a kick out of turning old unwanted furniture into something new! I'll be busy this week waxing some new pieces I've just finished painting so I'll update any readers on my progress!
In the meantime I'll stop spitting feathers and play Candy Crush for a bit before my eyelids close!
Nighty night bloggers everywhere!
Mandy :)
