Dr. Seuss’s widow strikes again

This was taken from a post on ALTB. I thought I might try and help pass the word for Heather. Also as seen on her blog http://daisyheadmaisydesigns.wordpress.com/

Her new eBay ID is goosiegirl_boutique

Hello everyone!
Thank you so much for the invitation. Most of you already know me (I have a new ebay id)~and I'm so happy to be back.

I'd like to take a minute to tell everyone why I have a new id...and it goes a lil' something like this~

(please help me spread the word)...

Once Upon a Time,
A designing mom worked hard to establish
herself in the market...


She created a business of her very own making,
but Dr. Seuss said,
"Our name you are taking"

"Daisy Head Mayzie is a Suess character, you see,
We know you spell if different, but you are infring-ing

"Don't make us open up a can and get all grinchy
they said with a frown
we will take your to court and bring your reputation down

"This hard working mom never said she was related
but the cat in the hat's widow argued and negated

Get rid of your website, ebay id, & etsy shop all together,
It doesn't matter that you've had this name for 4 years,
inconsequential and naive, little Heather!

Through the face of it all, this mom thought she'd persist
Until she was served with a cease and desist
The name has been canceled, but the business
will go on
Perhaps it wouldn't matter if she were in Taiwan?

The mom will go on and build a costume empire,
in the face of adversity while coming under fire
from the stingy widow of the cat in the hat
the mom will start over, and come right back

This talented mom will bring costumes to the world,
raggie bows she will make and rolls of tulle will unfurl,
Word to the wise, don't mess with a mom who's
got to feed her kids
by selling on etsy and getting ebay bids

Top quality tutu gowns and cute girly things,
will continue to flow from the hands of this
dedicated mom....

You'll soon be able to find her doing business at
www.GoosieGirlBoutique DOT com

*****************************************

(Yes, it's true, I was served a cease and desist order from the attorneys for Dr. Seuss's widow).

I had to change my ebay id, and I will have to close my etsy shop & reopen it w/a new name, change all my ebay templates, me page & graphics, get new business cards & hangtags AND the biggest heartache of all...
change the name of my blog, and stop doing business on my website that I've worked so hard to establish!!

I'd appreciate it if you'd save my new website, located at:
GoosieGirlBoutique DOT com

(it should be up next week). Please tell your friends & bookmark me, it's devestating for a business to have to re-establish themselves after working so hard. I never attempted to make it appear that I was affiliated in any way, shape or form with the Seuss character or their organization, but apparently they don't care about that. I'm looking forward to this new journey and hope that you'll drop a comment of support off at my blog where I posted this story, I've been told Seuss's attorneys have bookmarked it~ROFL! (http://www.daisyheadmaisydesigns.wordpress.com)

I've seen the boutique community come together and support designing Moms for so many things and I hope that my word of mouth campaign to let people know about my new business name, will spread like wildfire.

Long live the WAHM and Designing at Home, Handmade Movement!

~Thank you so much welcoming me back into the fold & for reading this!!
