Will Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel Ever Have a Market for Elf-sized Furnishing?

How is it even possible to be banned from store/sites like Pottery Barn, Crate & Barrel and Ethan Allen?

Well a few  notices came in the mail this past week addressed to Holly JD Elf. What does JD stand for? I’ve had inquires so I will let you know her full name is Holly Jolly Darling Elf. Not so Jolly Darling after all. We will work on that before next Christmas.

Here is a sample letter from a well known company in regards to Holly’s inquiries into elf-sized furnishing for her Barbie Dream Condo.

Dear Miss Holly JD Elf,

Thank you for an interest in our products.

We regret to inform you that you are no longer welcome in our retail stores and online shopping site as well. Although we appreciate your admiration of our products and it’s unfortunate that they are not manufactured in elf-size, we do not tolerate harassment and foul language.

Our Customer Service Representative was very courteous on the phone. She explained that even though you must have the Coleman Bed for your dream condo, it does not come in elf-size. This is the first inquiry we’ve had for elf-sized products in the history or our company. We were more than willing to offer a 10% off discount any one item for your foster parent since you seemed so disappointed , but a foul mouthed rant was uncalled for. In the 10 years I’ve worked for this company I’ve never had an employee sent home mid shift for duress caused by a customer inquiry. Luckily all calls for recorded for training purposes and all I have to say is that you make sailors sound like choir boys.

Also we know you’ve been posting customer comments online. It would have been more effective if you had chosen user names that were not so obvious unlike; NaughtyElf, MischievousElf, BarbieCondoLove, LoserKen, PsychoElf, TortureRudolph, etc.

Although it is not our policy to turn away business, in this case we will make an exception.

Sincerely,

Manger at a well known company

Well if you’ve ever attended a craft show or watch public television you know there is some lady out that that makes doll/elf-sized furnishing for a living. I find the obsession of these crafters a little bit creepy at times, but I’m sure a few Ebay searches will pull up a few items for the Dream Condo.

Holly’s punishment is no TV for a week.  Not sure how this elf parenting gig is going to turn out.
