Re: Hypothetical question (not really)

I'd be kind of flattered.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!  But, from the way you responded to one of the other responses, it sounds like you have a problem with a friend.  If I felt that way, I might try to distance myself from that person.

I wouldn't be upset over it.  I often get inspiration from friends and family.  I have pretty good taste myself and do love to decorate so I would be kind of flattered.

I have a dear friend who does something similar from time to time.  But I've convinced myself that I just have good taste!!!!!!!!!!!

Unfortunately, this is the case. (Which is why I'm vague when I answer her questions.)


I can understand that.

I would not care in the least.  As long as I have what I wanted, it would not bother me that someone else has it too.

I might be a tad irked but would not say anything...I have a friend that 'found out'...no secret, ha...that I had a couple of barefoot dreams items...she was surprised at the price and said she would never pay that much, but we have been to the mall a couple of times and she keeps looking at them...she'll probably own one soon.

I'm right there with you. I used to have a neighbor who would "copy" me. Initially, it was flattering, but when it became excessive, I became annoyed. It got to the point where I didn't even want her to see how I was decorating.

@faeriemoon , not at all, you are entitled to your feelings. Just because it doesn’t bother some of us doesn’t mean there is anything wrong with you.

Re: Hypothetical question (not really)

I wouldn't care because I love decorating & I'm happy to share my finds, ideas, passion with everyone. Copy me...yes please & enjoy!
