I am so blessed by the tremendous support from so many SO viewers. Thank you all so very much. I am grateful, honored, and humbled. You have lifted me up at times when I felt down or weary. Your encouragement consistently renews my strength and my resolve.

What is new.....

I am ready for the Charity Auction for Interfaith at the end of this month. My excitement about this event grows daily. The evening will consist of cocktails and a silent auction, followed by dinner, and then the live auction. I will be speaking with a designer who decorates the model homes for the most prominent home builders here in Wisconsin. We will be discussing the possibility of me making a piece for one of their model homes. I am praying that God will open this door, and I will keep you informed!

Hannah and I keep in touch. We call each other now and then to say hello give each other updates. I did go to Susanin's not long ago to see her for the first time since she left the Starting Over house. She looked absolutely beautiful. Hannah is going to be the auctioneer for another fundraising event on April 24. It is for "Woman Made" (http://www.womanmade.org). Hannah has graciously invited me, and I will be donating some of my artwork. I have found a framed mirror suitable to "Christique." I will donate the completed piece to this wonderful organization that is dedicated to the support of women. I am very happy to have been invited to participate in such a great event. I am also looking forward to seeing Hannah auction again.

My web site is nearing completion... I apologize for the delay, and appreciate your patience and your interest. I have been extremely busy having professional business cards printed, working on photographing my inventory for my web site and a full color brochure, and preparing for the auctions (all the while, caring for the children, the farm, and the horses). I have no complaints and consider myself very blessed! I do recognize the importance of getting the site up, and want you all to know that I am working diligently, and it's really all starting to come together.

In closing, once again I'd like to thank all of you for sending me words of encouragement and support. I have saved many letters and I am moved by the amount of people that want to see me succeed! I appreciate your interest in "The Chic Antique." Soon, my site will be open for business. You can expect to find a variety of exquisite Antique & Reproduction Jewelry (everything from Gemstones to Rhinestones!!), as well as: Furniture, Art Glass, Antique Lighting, Beautiful Mirrors, and stylish Accent pieces. Everything that you need for a Unique & Romantic Decor!

Thank you for stopping by!

Christine H.
