Business Rant

Please - do not feel obliged to read this one - it is just me ranting :)
I have found out recently that a women 3 blocks from me opened a nursing necklace business! Can you believe it? I won't even mention her name.
Everyone else (as in other nursing necklace companies) out there has basically copied what I do as Tickled Pink Designs was the first to use the safety clasp. However, at least the other women lived in different cities. It is so frustrating because now she can hijack my marketing by just saying "yes, I am the women in Barrhaven who makes nursing necklaces" and people will think she is me - KWIM?
I have really worked hard over the last 3 years to raise awareness in the Ottawa area about nursing necklaces and my work so it is disappointing when someone else just jumps on the bandwagon.
Oh well - I promised myself that this would be it for my rant and then it is back to looking on the bright side of things. For instances - I get to stay home with my kids and have a lot a fun making cool nursing necklaces.
