Yesterday was a tough day for
me. I guess when you realize you’ve been
screwed over & certain things are confirmed it stings a bit.
I feel better today and I am
not as angry. I feel a little deflated,
but I believe that is normal. We aren’t
the only ones & as much as I hate that anyone is going through this..it is
a little comforting to know that I have company sitting on this couch with me
and it’s not a pity party for one J
I also know that if I want
something done I need to stay on top of things with the Attorney General’s
office, and the other outlets, and then take whatever next steps there are to take. We originally worked hard for that money and I won't go down without a fight...I've had enough taken from me recently so I take offense to it being taken.
I’ve had some very kind words
& advice given and I truly appreciate each & every single one of
them. With that being said, I will
continue to provide updates and if you don’t feel like you want to read them I
understand. But, I’ve had a ton of
people email & ask to keep updating.
I am doing this only to get the word out. There is a lot of us that have lost a
significant amount of money to Carolina Farmhouse. And, while I know that my husband & I
have worked hard to have what we have I think it is my right to fight back for
our hard earned money.
The information that was
passed along to us from a local includes such things as Carolina Farmhouse
people (owners, etc) going on multiple vacations over the last year, new
vehicles, and such. Now I have no qualms
with vacations, but when you have blasted us with “we have had a growth spurt
and we’ve had a production delay causes by so many orders” and knowing that my
furniture hasn’t been started, and the the fact that you say you can’t refund
us our money…this then creates an issue for me.
Multiple people at multiple times have been told by Carolina Farmhouse
that they have spent long hard hours working and sacrificing spending time with
their children in order to get orders completed.
Once the Attorney General’s
office contacted them & explained the FTC mail/telephone order law, they
then changed their website to show a 6-8 month lead time. That’s a long time to wait. But, I am glad they did, that at least gives
any new customers a more accurate time..
We had ordered the table
listed here on Craigslist by Carolina Farmhouse as our Farmhouse Family program
back in October. Seeing this made me
want to cry! Our table hasn’t been built
or started, yet they are advertising the exact table in April for sale. Why not just offer this one to us. For crying outloud…it was a free table you
were giving us…we would have been happy!
I have moved on with the
island in our kitchen. I found a great
fit as I’ve previously wrote in my blogs about.
I truly feel karma was on my side.
It is exactly what we were looking for, it is something I was able to
refinish & the price was unbeatable.
I got such a great deal that man it made me feel excellent!!
I have started the hunt for
the dining table and I have found several, but I think today I found a
winner. I spoke the gentleman and geez
you just can’t find nicer people. He’s
fairly close so we can actually go pick it up when he has it finished. And….the best part is the lead time… THREE WEEKS not 6 months! He
uses reclaimed wood & that is exactly what we want. Go green!
Three weeks guys…seriously this just made my heart swell! o based off his website & photos…his
furniture is truly a work of art. I am
hoping to get to move forward as soon as possible…my husband is tad hesitant
with all the mess going on with Carolina Farmhouse…and the fact that who knows
how long it will take to recover our money!
I have to continue to remind
myself that it is going to all work out…maybe not in my timeframe, but
eventually as my daddy always says – the truth always prevails. I believe that good things come to good people. I have to be patient & just continue to
hold onto my faith & beliefs. I just
big problems with someone taking from others and lying.
I do have some projects that
I’ve been working on to show…this mess has just taken up some precious
time.
I hope everyone has a
wonderful weekend… We have lots going on around here this weekend.
Much LOVE, PEACE & HAPPINESS
