Random Bits of Good News

Hello Friends!

I'm so glad you like the new design and logo for One Hundred Wishes! It makes me happy to know that. It's funny because I've been staring at it for so long it hardly seems "new" to me! But it does feel right. Thanks for all of the enthusiasm and sweet comments and orders.

And now......I'm happy to announce the winner of the Trinket Bracelet drawing. It's Mary Babbitt! Congratulations Mary! I will send your prize bracelet along with your order this week. It's made entirely of vintage rhinestone buttons and jewelry bits, and I hope you enjoy wearing it and having it in your jewelry collection.

This week is a bit busy for me as I have unexpected house guests until Thursday. On Friday, I leave for NYC for a long weekend and (mainly) to go to the Gift Show. I will try and post before I leave and maybe even set up a little post to appear while I'm gone. Gotta love Typepad and the fact that you can set the "timer" to post in the future.

On a different note, 6 sweet friends of mine have been busy planning and creating a new on-line art retreat! Today is the unveiling and you can read all about it here www.sweetsixstudio.typepad.com

I'm looking SO forward to meeting these 6 girls at Silver Bella this November. Some of them will be my roomies at the event and some will be in the room right next door. Oh, it will be fun! I cannot wait to meet them all and so many other on-line friends!

This last part is totally unrelated to anything, but it made me laugh. My husband saw this vintage horse show ribbon and could not believe they gave out ribbons for 6th place.

"Sixth place??? They gave a ribbon for sixth place?? They should have given that person a ribbon that says "Get Outta Here"! Ah, my sweet husband. He's not competitive in the least.... No, not at all.....LOL...

Happy Wednesday everyone!

I think if you entered in an event called ???Pole Bending??? you need to get a ribbon no matter where you came!! I have no idea what that event is but it does sound uncomfortable. Maybe after 6th place pole bending comes the 1st place for Pole Breaking???
Love your new venture, nothing like having lots of creative things on the go, much better than housework!!
have a great day, kiss noises Linda Lilly Cottage

Hi Andrea, cute post! Not planning to try pole bending anytime soon! I can't remember if I told you or not but I just started my own blog about a week ago. www.sewafineseam.blogspot.com
I'm having fun posting, just thougth I'd share in case you might be interested!

My daughter's very first horse show ribbon was for 11th place - so 6th place sounds pretty impressive to us! Sometimes it's not where you place - it's all about getting that ribbon :)

Hey Andrea...Jordy would have been thrilled at a couple horse shows to have gotten a 6th place ribbon!! smile She did get her share of blue ones but we have a wide variety of ribbon colors in her horse show memory trunk!

Have fun in NYC with Hope!!! I know she's very excited as well. When I go with my hubby in Nov. for our 10 yr. wedding anniversary we're staying in the same hotel as you are with Hope. Can't wait to hear about your trip.

Your comment about 6th place made me smile. I was a competitive swimmer for 10 years and we always had ribbons up to 8th place.

Cheers, hun!

Andrea- Have fun on your trip~ Love the new site, beautiful. Can't wait to get my new look finished for the site. You know I love those ribbons, the colors are great. So wish I was going to Silver Bella, but I had to pick retail mgt. and the month of Nov:)

I never did any pole bending. Barrel racing wasn't for me either. They are both timed events & way too fast for me! & they usually have lots of competitors, so 6th place isn't so bad! Some shows I used to ride in way back in the dark ages gave ribbons to 8th place....which I think was brown. That wasn't exactly lovely. But once I got 8th out of 56 & then it didn't seem quite so bad.......
Have a great time in NY & tell us all about it!
