Mothers Know Best
MAMAMADE MARKET 2008 The 4-year-old Mamamade, an entrepreneurial collective of creative mothers, holds its first-ever spring sale in Franklin, to coincide with the city’s Main Street Festival. The cooperative of cottage industries includes more than a dozen multitasking moms, who—between wiping noses, doing laundry and scrubbing crayon off the walls—somehow find the time to create gorgeous lines of unique jewelry, toys, handbags, quilts, stationery and children’s clothing. You can also shop Mamamade online at mamamadebiz.blogspot.com. 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Lillie Belle’s of Franklin, 132 Third Ave. S. —CARRINGTON FOX

Meryll Rose of Talk of the Town

The Mamamade Mamas recently were interviewed by the lovely Meryll Rose from Talk of the Town, and Williamson A.M.'s dear Bonnie Burch. Both interviews are expected to run this week, leading into our show on Saturday.

Nashville Channel 5's Talk of the Town is scheduled to air Wednesday (April 23rd) at 11 a.m. with encore airings on Channel 50 at noon and 4 p.m. the same day, and again at 9 a.m. on the 24th.

Bonnie Burch gets a lesson on pine needle baskets.

The Williamson A.M. piece will run Thursday or Friday. If you see it before we do, let us know!

Both stories will offer a detailed look at Mamamade and our unique products.

Look at this Ms. Cheap!!!!!

Mamamade always has a wonderful offering of high quality goods from amazingly talented moms.  But, did you know that attending the Mamamade Market also means that you can score a really good deal?  Many of our Mamas are going to have specials, deals, clearance bins, or promotional prices specifically for the Mamamade Sale day on April 26th!  We think it would make Ms. Cheap proud.

A sampling of the fabulous deals to be had:

- Tomo&Edie will have the bargain bin that was super popular last time.  

-Par Deux Meres will be offering our hand painted handbags at an introductory price of $100 at the Mamamade Franklin event. The Par Deux Meres bags will be retailing in stores for $150. Not only is this a substantial savings but also a chance to own one of the first produced.

-White Cottage Design and The Creative JAR will be offering 10% off your purchase if you sign up for their mailing list.

-BABYBEARSHOP will have these bargains: buy an 8 oz Mama Belly Oil and get a 4 oz for free, buy a 4 oz Cheeky Baby Butter and get a 1.7 oz for free

- Tisra Fadely Originals will be offering prints of original watercolors for $10, rather than the normal $12.

- Los Pollitos Dicen will have some inventory closeouts for as little as $4 and $6 -- bibs and t-shirts.
