Cloth diaper cake by ENCHANTED DANDELIONS, not Chic to CheekSomething stinky has been going on over at Facebook. A work-at-home mama who sells beautiful diaper cakes (diapers folded and decorated to look like elaborate cakes) has had her pictures stolen and posted on another site by a mama trying to pass the work off as her own.
The original Etsy shop is here:
She puts a great deal of thought into those designs.
Now look at the photographs on Chic to Cheek's Facebook page:
How much more obvious can she be? Even if those are her own cakes, she stole the designs!
What's stupid is that Chic to Cheek looks like it already has wonderful products and original artwork. Unless she stole those, too, she has plenty of talent on her own and doesn't need to be pilfering off of others' efforts.
So, to my crunchy mommy community, please do not buy cloth diapers, baby slings, artwork, or diaper cakes from Chic to Cheek. She does not deserve our support.
I thought you might be exaggerating, because a diaper cake is a pretty generic concept. . . she has already taken the Facebook pictures down (but not provided any explanation), so I couldn't see what you were talking about. But her blog still has one picture, which is clearly the actual picture from April's Etsy shop.
ReplyDeleteIt seems that every week I read about blog-entry thieves -- I'm not surprised to see the same in the crafting world. Sad :-(
She did apologize for not giving credit to the original owner and has removed the pictures.
