An Abornaments Vocabulary Lesson

The woman who accused us of being a "terrible doctor" strikes again, with considerably more animosity...


Sometimes we respond more thoughtfully.

When our "sense of humour" fails us or someone seems particularly pained by the existence of our abornaments, we'll reply with a little more care.



If you'd like, you can read the forum post where this nice lady got her ass handed to her by an Etsy admin and a few users who better understand the website's TOS.

A user is offended by our inaccuracies.

This loyal Etsy user wasn't so offended by our product as she was by the fact that we were misrepresenting the types of rubber baby death.  Perhaps if we clarified, she'd be okay with it?


In further messages, we tried to explain that referring to this particular piece as a "Still Birth Ornament" would not be likely to make her feel any better about it.  At some point she also accused us of being a "terrible doctor".  We're not too sure what that means.

In instances where women have approached us with stories of this nature, we have made every effort to treat them with all due sensitivity.  Unfortunately, the relentless antagonism will sometimes get the better of us and we will resort to amusing ourselves at the writer's expense.  This was one such writer.

And then, a few angry pro-lifers started posting about us...

...and the hate mail started pouring in.

Some of the early messages required only a simple response.

Others were a little more in-depth:

More hate mail to follow!

Welcome to the Ablogament for Abornaments!

Since we've had such a crazy response to our Abornaments, we decided to start a blog so you can get the insider's scoop on our new abornaments, fan mail, and most importantly: HATE MAIL.
