Tracey and her hubby have just purchased a new “old” home and it inspired her to re-do our in-store dining room over in the Old Farmhouse style.” Here are a couple of pictures. I love the pitch forks hung on the wall. Who else but trace would think to do that? I am not so sure about letting the little piggy stay in the dining room as he could be a little messy. The yellowware bowls look great on the shelves of the red hutch.

As you know, my sister Tracey works with us here at TMW. She has decided to take on a big challenge, a 40 mile walk for breast cancer.
I am very proud of her commitment to this cause and support her in her efforts. Things Made Wonderful will cover the registration fees for both she and her walking partner and long time friend, Jen.
Join us in wishing them well and if you would like to know more about the cause, follow the attached links. The following is a note from Tracey:

Why Do I Want to Walk 40 Miles????
My friend Joanne greets her hubby the same way every day when she comes home from lunch, “Hello lover, I’m home.”
She has her own hello for me too as I sit on my butt in my driveway painting my latest “treasure” I just pulled out of someone’s trash. “Howdy neighbor” is how she greets me as I laugh at being caught again in this position that she once compared to a “kid in her sandbox”.
She brags “across the fence” to me about her kids and grandkids but never forgets to ask about my family. If you’re lucky enough to have her call your number at the place where she works, you’ll always leave with a smile on your face.
She has been my shoulder to lean/cry on in some tough times, the person I go to for advice (both gardening and life!)And she is one half of a fun loving, wisecracking couple that I am blessed to have in my life.
So, I’m going to walk 40 miles to try to show her how much I appreciate who she is and all that she does.
My Team
I’ll be walking with my sista from another mother Jen. And WOW I just figured out that we’ve been friends for 21 years!!! That’s more than half of our lives! I can’t think of anyone else I would want to do this with; she didn’t even hesitate for a second when I asked. So wish us luck and keep us in your thoughts on May 17 and 18th. Knowing you’re thinking of us will get us to the end! We appreciate any support you can give!
Don’t forget that company donations of $100 or more will get their business name/website on our team t-shirts! As I prepare for this exciting event, I plan to update my page frequently so that all my supporters can follow my progress, so please visit often (link provided below) While you’re there, you might want to spend some time on the site to find out more information on why this event is so important, and the organizations and people that will be helped by the money we all raise.
Thank you in advance.

Maybe it is due to the date, it being April fools day and all. I am having a strange kind of day. Nothing terrible, nothing sad, nothing bad, just “weirdness.” Anyhow, I thought I would share this fun little link with you. I found it on a forum that I belong to.
Have fun. http://www.therightfoot.net/mystuff/whatever/swf/bubblewrap.swf

A customer asked if we could post our commercial and this was the quickest way I could think of to do that. If you click on this link, it should take you there.

One of our wonderful customers, Miss Meg sent this in. I hope you enjoy it too. Below is a poem Audrey Hepburn wrote
when asked to share her ‘beauty tips.’
It was read at her funeral years later.
For attractive lips ,
speak words of kindness…
For lovely eyes ,
seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure ,
share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair ,
let a child run his/her fingers through it once a day.
For poise ,
walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone…
People, even more than things, have to be restored,
renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed;
never throw out anyone.
