I'm now at liberty to dish!
I've never met Ginger personally but have shopped there when in Austin.
When I lived in Pampa we did not have an LNS. We have a fairly good LNS here in San Angelo so I really don't have to rely on her now. Sorry for your problems with her! -- Bonnie WIPs: EGA's English Band Sampler ICC Stitch-n-Zip Patchwork Checkbook Cover Knitted Cardigan Knitted Amish Throw "animaux" wrote in message ... Okay, the guilt was killing me. So many of you were so kind to me after my little LNS complaint. Now I can tell you the real story. The LNS is Ginger's Needlearts. I have been the champion of her shop for years. I've gone to bat for her when all other shops have told me she was this or that, nothing positive, trust me (and clear down to Houston shops!). She is smarmy, and treats people like they are stupid and she stumbled into one who is not stupid. Shame on her. She definitely lied to me, outright. She didn't display any of the Christmas theme magnets, rather she hid them on her desk, which her own employees call the black hole. She is one of the most disgusting personalities I've had to deal with and I've had huge amounts of validation from everyone who knows her. That said, I must come clean. No online shop asked to purchase my laying tools, but I told that to Ginger so I could go up there and get all my stuff back without having to have it out with her. She's about 6 feet tall and wide, so I wasn't about to...well, I'm only kidding on that. I doubt grown women would fight! Anyway, I now have all my laying tools and magnets and I will post photos of them and set it up so that if anyone is interested in buying one or carrying them in their shops, it will be there. I would rather throw them in the garbage than let her taint them in her shop. I was so outraged I didn't know what to do, but I was reassured today by someone who knows her very well. She does this to everyone. Her reputation is very poor, at best. I may have a small table at ANG. I have to see what's what as I've never done that before, but consignment is finis! My tools are beautiful, if I may say so myself! If shops want to sell them, they can buy them wholesale and sell them for whatever they want. So, I am deeply sorry I lied to you here, but I didn't know if she reads this newsgroup or has her little spies, and I didn't want trouble with her. I truly am sorry for lying here. The first person to post to this apology gets a free laying tool! If you already have one, it doesn't count Victoria |

I wondered if that was the shop, because I had read your posts, praising her
establishment. Well, I am glad you got your things back, and the heck with her. I shall throw away the directions I have to her store!! Gillian "animaux" wrote in message ...

So glad you got your laying tools back as I've been dying to buy one for a
long time! I didn't want to ask you about making one when you were still dealing with your treatment. Please post some pictures on your website and let us know when they are there. I'm sure you will do better selling them on your own or through an online shop! Great way to start fresh for the new year!

Would love to see another shop in this area. I'm tired of that being
the only place in town (besides Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc). And what a drive from up here in Cedar Park. Good luck if you decide to follow through.... Christine Cedar Park, TX animaux wrote: That is great! She's a bigger idiot than she looks like to boot. Here she was bilking me out of ONE dollar, yet, what she didn't think of was that I spent every dime I made on the laying tools THERE in her store, buying at RETAIL! What a dope. Boy, I really do feel like opening a shop now. There are a ton of quaint shops right downtown. Very old buildings with store fronts. Beautiful places. Her store is in a ghetto setting. Anyone who's been there can tell you. Victoria On Wed, 07 Jan 2004 18:57:34 GMT, "Gillian Murray" opined: I wondered if that was the shop, because I had read your posts, praising her establishment.

I am surprised that Ruby hasn`t expressed her surprise here. I am
surprised about the whole story. If You animaux had a problem of sorts with a shop, is this really the place to First praise this shop [owner] and than scold her and tell that you lied in order to do get something back,,, It all looks rather strange to me. And who is to stay , that your version now is the last version of this story? And anyway , this was not the place to conduct half truths ... I am gald for you , to get your tools back . Maybe next time before you do any sort of buisiness with somebody , you sign a little page with Conditions of lending/giving tools ,,, etc,,,, would have saved you sadness and the need to publicly tell starnge stories. mirjam |

And maybe you just came off as a little judgemental and condescending?

Hi Victoria
I think most of us have been in similar situations like yours before. We know a place is bad, but cannot do or say anthing about it because of some tie that makes us hope for the best. We may have a product that they are carrying for us, and even though customers are complaining they can't get your stuff through that store, you make one apology after another for someone who don't give a hoot. Then someday you are set free and can retell how it REALLY was! TTUL Gary |

Interesting ? on a Ng were some people complain periodically , about
loosing the `old` values . Unless we have read The other side , we don`t really know what happened between Animaux and the shop keeper. And if she was so `afraid ` that shop keeper might read this Ng ? what happened, now , has she found out , shop keeper doesn`t read the ng ??? A bit of Mature realism , hasn`t hurt anybody, until now. Isabel . The story as told is strange. mirjam On Thu, 08 Jan 2004 11:40:17 GMT, "zita_tempest" wrote: And maybe you just came off as a little judgemental and condescending? Isabel |
