Don't let that company rob your happiness. I started painting furniture (only my own stuff) because you inspired me with your creations and your method of teaching gave me the courage to do it. You also taught me there are other brands of paints and products that make the art even more fun and creative. I'm thrilled you are no longer stuck in a "bad marriage" to a company that didn't appreciate you enough to be faithful! I've got to see what is out there that I never would of even known about. I'll defend you to the end.
You are making great sense! Easy to understand. When I left Dixie Belle, I still had about $1700 worth of products. I didn’t have the money to buy a different paint, so I used it. I would feel ashamed when customers would ask me what I was using. I would tell them but tell them why I no longer sell it. I would steer them to a better company.
Yes it’s extremely important to talk about , you are helping so many people by talking about this , I don’t like it when people say bad things about you , I will defend you your an amazing person and I honestly can’t say thank you enough ❤
I feel grateful for you sharing your experience with said company. Why be silent! It’s awesome that you refuse to be intimidated by a company who lacks integrity! Your stance will pay off eventually. So keep up keeping up! Thank you for your honesty! That is what should matter so the heck with the people and companies that are not for small business owners. Like me.
I learned a lot about the law side of things and the difficulty getting representation, so that’s appreciated. I loved this entire thing and am glad you continue to speak the truth and acknowledge what has happened because of it. Anyone affiliated with them that is out there criticizing those speaking up are just as bad as the company. They’ll all reap what they sew.
You go girl! You r correct! Great advice !! Thank you…. It’s really sad… I will never purchase product from Dixie Bell again! Don’t give up! ❤❤❤❤ from Deb in Minnesota❤❤❤
Stand in your truth and play like a duck (as my granny would say) and let it slide right off your back!! The truth is undisputed!! By the way, the piece is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!
FYI remember that those contracts that say "you can't speak badly about DB" are also not worth the paper they're written on, unless DB is willing to sue for the breach. Generally businesses won't sue for a breach of this particular clause because it makes them look so bad.
I had strong feelings when they first sandbagged you and chrysdawna. I saw how you were very reserved in your criticism...and I know it seemed like the other ambassadors were oblivious to the reality of what happened bc the company gaslit them about the facts and details. I love how close our little niche community sticks together. It makes me feel like I always have someone to go to for suggestions and will get a real life reply from other owners with honest info.
Thank you for being open and transparent about the ugly side of business. We do need open transparency. Oh no....so sry it's late...Happy Birthday, very best wishes for you.

I am so sorry for what happened to you and other people that truly love painting and have put their trust in that company. I no longer buy anything from Dixie Bell even one can help them to grow bigger and I’m not doing that not such a bad company hope you win your case, you are brave soul and thank you so much
I am so sorry this is happening to you and I feel for you. I am in a similar situation with a legal issue regarding a family member. The reasons are different, but the system is the same. My brother and I are not even allowed representation, and the case was settled without even informing us of hearings happening. Corruption is rife everywhere.😢
I am so shocked and upset at what DB have done to you and others , I will not sign a contract with anyone now unless I get a attorney, but even then I don’t think I would sign .
Has DB made a public statement addressing this ? I can’t find what they have to say, not I don’t believe you .. I just am curious to read what lies they are saying ?
I included it in my comment threads here. There was also 2 videos on their page that have since been removed, but I have copies m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0q4iExzRP3csY1SfuDsJrqrCCqELTzKqmwDRXT3sbqddGWSKmKSUvbdt4gUTxypeol&id=100044504583471&mibextid=Nif5oz facebook.com/100044504583471/posts/pfbid02yKvcgJwP8uAW5rKGamgT3hQ8DqCq5Fw7HQ5BrdGtvq1E8ZUqbs7YiVZpRGCPBCtyl/
@@BrushedbyBrandy maybe it’s time to release what they said as i checked their page and can’t find what they have to say about it ! Funny that such a big company is not coming out to defend its name , that or just they have so many retailers they don’t care
@karinahopley2286 it was all done publicly by them, the written portions are in my comment threads, which sums up what the videos said. Those also included an explanation for copying a mould from prima at the same time they were repackaging my transfers to remove my name. You are welcome to message my fb page if you'd like screenshots, I just don't have a way to attach them here. I also included a rebuttal in the comment threads above
Your work is beautiful. Stay strong. You never know how many people you have saved from being in bad situations. What color is on the dresser off to the right? I can’t take my eyes off of it. Will that be in a future video?
Loved that piece..so beautiful & calming. As for the rest, one can not be punished for telling their stories. What others do or not do, its up to them. 😘
When you contract do you tie your self to one brand of paint there are so many paints brands out there and new products every day it makes no sense to me why anyone would want this its very confusing to me
Many brands will ask for one and in the case of the current Dixie Belle contract, it's drawn entirely in their favor and to the extreme detriment of the artist. That was not the case with the contract I had, but it's been redrawn to essentially facilitate what they did to me and the prevent the artist from so much as talking about it
That’s Gorgeous Brandy!!….❤❤❤❤❤
Love the piece you are doing Brandy. Happy birthday and keep your chin up.
Thank you!
In Australia a lot of companies are selling DB at a discount price and not restocking them any more
You are a breath of fresh air Brandy!!! More people need to speak out for the truth!!! Love you and your beautiful works!!! Keep up the good work!!!
I respect your courage Brandy! I'm sure all the truths will come out. Stay strong.
I do believe in karma, just wish it worked faster lol
Love you Brandy!

I'm glad for that too, being exclusive was exactly a turning point, the freedom is much healthier
Thanks for sharing this! This desk is beautiful! 💯❣️

Oh my goodness, what a rough spot to ne in -- Big Hugs -- much love and encouragement [via the internet] to help you move forward 💕
Thank you, Brandy for talking about this
It's a raw and rough topic but sooo important

Thank you! One day at a time, for the furniture and me too
You go girl! You r correct! Great advice !! Thank you…. It’s really sad… I will never purchase product from Dixie Bell again! Don’t give up! ❤❤❤❤ from Deb in Minnesota❤❤❤
I’m sorry this happened to you and I’m impressed that you chose to speak out. That being said, I watch you to learn techniques and ideas.
Thank you for your courage and sharing your artistic knowledge.
Stand in your truth and play like a duck (as my granny would say) and let it slide right off your back!! The truth is undisputed!! By the way, the piece is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!!
I love those words of wisdom. Some days it gets to me, today was one
Tbh, Not a lot of small time artists can afford Mint by Michelle papers. We have to use what we can afford.
They are beautiful high quality papers, in line with a transfer cost, I do build it into the sales price of a piece like this
That paper is gorgeous!!!!! That piece is beautiful!!!!!! That is so sad what Dixie Belle did to you!!!!
It really is!
Hello Brandy. I’m so sorry you are going through this.😢😢
Bless your heart. I hate this happened to you. I agree , this stuff needs light shined on it!
FYI remember that those contracts that say "you can't speak badly about DB" are also not worth the paper they're written on, unless DB is willing to sue for the breach. Generally businesses won't sue for a breach of this particular clause because it makes them look so bad.
After hearing about your story regarding DB, I will never buy or use their products.
Big companies know they can out wait and out spend you just by scale. It's a huge injustice.
Yes, a sad fact that small businesses should be aware of
I had strong feelings when they first sandbagged you and chrysdawna. I saw how you were very reserved in your criticism...and I know it seemed like the other ambassadors were oblivious to the reality of what happened bc the company gaslit them about the facts and details.
I love how close our little niche community sticks together. It makes me feel like I always have someone to go to for suggestions and will get a real life reply from other owners with honest info.

It's very frustrating how inaccessible it is
Don’t stop talking please, as we all need to know about things like this as a extremely small business owner
I wish I had known, small businesses face uphill battles
