Elizabeth,

    I have suffered a similar situation as you experienced by being
    accused of stealing ideas by a shop owner, an experience I have never
    forgotten. Our town has a very nice handmade clothing store which
    also carries some lovely handmade jewelry, mostly in the lower price
    range. While looking at both clothing and jewelry and making small
    talk with the owner, I disclosed that I made jewelry. Her response
    was, "Now don't steal any ideas from what you see here!" I was
    mortified. She then suggested that I make an appointment to show her
    my work because she liked to deal with local artists! 

    Fat chance.
