Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery...I am genuinely flattered.


2010 Mekizo Designs

2014 imitation

The area rug above is mine and the one below is nice but when the same store who bough these designs from us needs to imitate my rug I am completely flattered. First they take a huge account from interior surfaces, an account introduced to them by Richard Munden...I guess we are back to feeding the kids Kraft Dinner not that there is anything wrong with that... Then I get a tweet about this rug from an inside source.  First of all we give them the idea of the artist then they get their own.  Then they want a list of our clients.
 Who are these people, why do they want us to fall? Surely they make more money than us??? Thank goodness money is NOT the world for us. These were our friends we thought, we broke bread with them and laughed like we had a relationship.  If our friends are truly going to stab us in the back  THEN who needs enemies in this business!!!
We do only make our living on commissions... We work hard, pay taxes, pay the bills. We live and laugh and we learn from our mistakes.  Who do you trust? Apparently, NO One. I become more of a cynic as I get older, I always was, from experience and trauma but from time to time I believe in Humanity. Then it slaps me in the face and says "wake up, everyone is an A-- hole"  Yes Karma CANNOT COME SOON ENOUGH!!! How high can a person go? Somehow I hear a loud THUD in the future.
