I'm so sorry that this happened to you and I hope that you really do get your clothes back.
I ordered from her shop and never got my items. I contacted her a couple times and got the 'it's shipping tomorrow, it's busy this time of year' line. After a couple weeks when she still hadn't shipped the product 'that she had already made and would be sending out soon' I asked for refund and was issued one without incident but I will say that it was in the time frame of the garage sale and I was getting so irritated that she had time for that and posting about it but she couldn't ship my stuff.
The fact that you made it two years before you outed her is amazing to me because there is no way in hell I would have been able to.
This woman is preying on your kindness, UWR. I understand eternal optimism, and while I think it can be a valuable quality to have and sometimes wish i was not quite so cynical, I think you're being naive in continuing to protect her. (Though, to be fair, I don't think anything valuable would come from a deeper witch hunt.)
I hope you get your items back.
I don't think UWR is naive. I think she's smart and practical and and kind enough to avoid unnecessary drama for the bolded reason.
Does it really matter what reason she gives? UWR just wants her stuff back. I know everyone enjoys sharpening the pitchforks and is ready to rip holes in any story, but it really doesn't matter. No one in their right mind is going to trust her with anything ever again, whether she is a opportunistic con artist or a scattered woman going through something "valid."

"My DH shipped them?" Uh huh. I have a bad feeling this is going to turn into him supposedly sending them to the wrong address.
I hope I'm wrong though. I really do.
Squirrelly. It's never too late to try and make amends. Send the $80 back as well. If you have to hustle a little harder next week with your shop, then get too it.
So, it happened, I'm going to go ahead and take credit for kev, que, Toledo and Lucy coming back. 'I've got the power...' Sing the song with me:) #missioncomplete
It's really upsetting that someone could do something like this to you, UWR. The humanitarian of the board; the one who takes time to explain things and teach people; the one who rallied around her so many times. It just makes me sad.
I really hope you get your stuff back. And I hope she gets the help she needs.
Sometimes I wish I had no morals and would willingly take money from people, both friends and customers. Because it seems like an easy way to make money...but then again, I like not being an asshole. So, there is that.
I hope you get your clothes back UWR, and I hope SM stays the fuck away...it takes a special kind of dick to not only steal money, but also sympathy from people who have good intentions.
So I didn't want to pile on but I made an order for A's excema, and other things and it took about 3 months. I would have complained normally but I knew she was having a hard time so I looked past it. She did write me a lovely hand written card, but that was also kind of false. She said she gave me duplicates of everything for the wait, she gave me 1 extra bar of soap and actually didn't even include everything I ordered. But I felt bad so never complained.
UWR I'm so sorry. I don't have kids,but have been in A's life since 16 months. We recently left her baby blanket we bought when he first got custody. And I was beside myself. I can only imagine how you are feeling. You are a wonderful person and I wish the best for you because clearly you deserve it.

Are you saying you manufactured this whole situation just to bring them back? For shame!
