I got an HS today in the mail that was in fact brand new as claimed but a costume jewelry impressive design bracelet arrived broken!!!!!!! Seller knew it too, she carefully packed the little pieces of the broken link together. She's a top seller on ebay. That's really rotten to knowingly send someone an item that the seller knows is broken (and not disclosed on the listing). Oh, and the package had "thank you" written all over the multiple wrappings. The bracelet was not cheap, either.

That is really annoying eagle.
I am sure eBay will stand by a refund as it was obviously not listed correctly.
Hope you get it sorted.

Sometimes you have a bad H day, right? (First World Problems) The petit H bracelet I ordered just arrived but is the worst possible color (you take your chances with petit H), a scarf I won on eBay finally arrived but it was a 45 and not a 70 (my fault entirely; this design DOES come in 70), and another scarf arrived which I thought would be perfect for the dipdye event, but is probably too dark. Sigh. LOLOL. I'm going to go wash my new scarves anyway.

So annoying momma!
Hope you can make it all work.

Sorry Moma to hear that! [emoji18]hugs hugs!

I am afraid of ordering any petit H for exactly that reason.

I would definitely return it. If she doesn't agree just let her know that you would report it to eBay. That will get her attention.

I hate these dishonest statement and false disclosure. I bought a street sweeper truck for my son. When it arrived I could not believe it. I paid $50 for a miniscule toy - barely 3 centimeters. I specifically asked the dimension. He said my toddler would enjoy it and no worries. It was vague but I didn't pursue further. It's still in the house somewhere buried by other bigger trucks.

Drat! Is she going to give you a hard time returning it? Or can you repair it and get some refund?

She claimed it was damaged in shipping. However she packed it in 2 priority mail envelopes, tightly wrapped it in plastic bubble wrap, and then in tissue paper with the broken pieces together. I said there is no way that thing got damaged in shipping. She issued a refund right after she got my email. She wished me good luck in finding another.

For a purchase just over $150 it seems unconscionable to mail someone a broken bracelet. It's plated silver. I know someone with a laser solder (no heat) but I don't know if that fixes costume jewelry and I feel over $150 was bordering on too much for the bracelet. So anything more in cost would make me more fried than I already am. Time for me to move on.

These petit H things, are they like a surprise? (They sound like good party favors for an elegant par-tay). And this dip-dye, you select one of your scarves for H to do the dying for you?

3 cm? That's like an inch and 1/2. I'd be worried your toddler would eat it by accident. What a rip-off! That's what happens with jewelry all the time -- the pix makes it look HUGE and when it comes, you need tweezers to pick it up.

Hi prepster,

Oh, that's so fun, I love Retro Metro, so gorgeous! I was reading the wonderful description in the ad and saying to myself, life affirming, yes, uplifting, yes, etc... I love the pale shades you mention for interior colors, plus a buttery yellow. They create a really nice feeling of refinement and yet coziness.

Regarding Retro Metro, I think it looks to be very much in the family of our tweaked green, but ours is more pale/less saturated, and a bit warmer. I think Emmett Fiore at Fine Paints of Europe (whose fun description they used in the pic you posted) could tell you how this compares to the Martha Porcelain Green. He's worked at Fine Paints for a long time! I just spoke to him this AM to ask a few questions regarding some upcoming projects, and he's helped me a number of times in the past. He's a wealth of information, and very helpful!

I get so excited by companies like this, producing gorgeous, really high quality products. Plus they are located in one of my favorite villages in (appropriately) The Green Mountain State (Vermont)!

Our kitchen & bath is a bright buttery yellow. Neither has a window. The color nicely brightens up the room.

Thank you, Capri! Seller did refund amount, I am waiting for Paypal to post it as available. I thought that refunds were pretty much posted automatically but maybe it depends on the form the refund takes. (It better not be bitcoin!)

Yes, you're right. I started the process thru ebay and took a pix of the damaged item. I would like to know how a bracelet gets that damaged. All I can think of is that an elephant sat on it.

Sorry about your bad experience eagle. I think we have all had at least one bad eBay experience. It's disappointing.

I'm not buying as much online these days but my latest experiences have been good thankfully. And knock on wood.

Yes, petit H used to be a total surprise, I think. You pay and then you get a trinket. This was a cute little leather bracelet, pictured in TURQUOISE (YESSS!), but would come in any of 3 colors. So it came in a dark purple. Sigh. I can return it. It is here: http://usa.hermes.com/petit-h/petit-h/leather-bracelets/configurable-product-h1062248-98098.html
There is a thread here about the dip-dye pop-up store. We are all quite excited!

I'm so sorry. The bracelet looks cool though. Too bad it wasn't a good color.

Thanks for sharing the dip dye link. I only like dip dyes in 140 cm format. I'm trying to think if I have any that I don't love. I think I will update be too afraid to do it. I'm not a risk taker. [emoji51]

I heard someone mentioned Twin Peaks! The new seasons are being recorded on my Sky box. We haven't watched any yet. I have the original series on DVD and I only really like the 1st season. It got a bit too weird later on. Will give the new season a go later on.
There is a new original series done by Sky called Rivera which is starting soon. Julia Stiles is in it and it's filmed in my favourite places on this planet, the French Rivera so it's a must-see for me. I already recognised so many familiar places from the trailer! Can't wait!

I'm the one rewatching TP. Did the DVD set have any interesting extras? That series was groundbreaking, historical, etc. etc. (in addition to being weird, LOL). Riviera sounds great, but I don't have TV service. Hope it comes to Netflix or Amazon. Here are two very different trailers:
