Tracy Porter Blog… be inspired!

Hi Tracy,

I’m loving the radio show, i look forward to it every Wednesday. I’m converting everyone here at work to Tracy Porter fans.

Hello from Texas!
Tracy I am really enjoying your show. I just wish we could see you LIVE, I think you are so fun! I wish you could see me, I’m carrying my laptop around the house while doing my chores and listening to you. I would’nt miss your show for anything!
Happy Thanksgiving,
Danna Brown

Hi Tracy,
I plan my Wednesdays around your show. Cleaning, shopping, prepping for T-Day, but stopped all that business to sip tea and keep company with you. Desire/need/covet dinnerware!

TP box arrived yesterday with a load of goodies. High point of my week.
Take Care, Kristen

Tracy, Sounding great on the air-waves…. I can say as a former radio personality of 10 years…. you are doing a classy job! I hung up my headphones to play Mom and persue my own business ventures… but radio will always be in my blood! Here’s to no “dead Air”- Amy

Stacey just got me interested in your radio show and it’s so fun to listen to while I’ve been sewing today!! I am just finishing up 12 days of Cross Country Christmas with 11 other bloggers so maybe I should ALSO put up MY tree this weekend!! Love the giveaway too.. It would be awesome to use your dishes they are FABULOUS!

Tracy….I just love you! You are so generous with your giveaways. I’ve also been going through your old Christmas decorating videos getting inspired….and it’s just whatI need to spark my imagination. Thank you,thank you!
P.S. I would LLLOOOOOOVE to win Katsina I was just examining the sad state of my current dishes…..After all the chips and breaks I could use a new beautiful set such as Katsina!!
Good Luck to all!

Hey there Tracy! Just listened to your show again & it made this cloudy-looking day more bright! I have to agree with the caller that said we always feel like a million bucks when we wear your clothes! Thank you again for your inspirational ideas & yummy clothes. Hope you feel better, too.

Great radio show Tracy! Putting the tree up early sounds like a great idea. I know alot of people who could use a boost of cheer the holidays always bring. Living in Minnesota I believe we both suffer from “zone envy” when it comes to gardening! Oh well – I could not live without the beauty of the changing seasons and I have a feeling you are the same way. You must know I am so addicted to your website and products it somewhat frightens me. My wonderful husband even commented, “does a day go by that you are not wearing something Tracy Porter?” Lately, no. Anyway – I am rambling but just wanted to tell you I am a huge fan. Happy Thanksgiving and God bless!

Hi Trace~ Great to hear you on the radio again today.. and chatting with both my “Massachusetts Sisters”! Rebecca and Pam (as well as Mary Ann, Jennifer and Phyllis!)
ALMOST called myself… but it would have been too near the end of the show and I didn’t want to get cut off! I’ll call another time though… Thank you for the great giveaways and gifts today. I SURE do hope I win the Katsina 16 piece set. It will go PERFECTLY in our Black/White/Taupe/Red kitchen with the new black beadboard wainscoting we just added to our dining alcove! (you would LOVE it) Thanks for being WONDERFUL “YOU” Trace! love, ~*~*~*~Sandi

Great show today, Tracy! It was wonderful to listen to all of the banter with you and the sisters. And thank you for your immense generosity….your heart could be no less than genuine and down to earth goodness!!

Hey Tracy!
This is Megan(the one who called in last week’s show) and I so love how you give away such SUPER goodies! It’s so much fun!
We are sorry that we are going to miss listening to you next Wednesday, but I am sure that you will be enjoying yourself immensely! We look forward to Wednesday all week! We love hearing about all of your family traditions! Thank you for being so open in sharing so much about your own private life!
I think it would be fun for your next show, to maybe have the “cowboys” talk about their favorite things that they do at Christmas time! Oh, and what are you going to do with the kittens? What do they look like? Are you going to name them? Tell us all about them!
Bye!
Meghan

Hi Tracy! I really enjoyed your show this afternoon! It was wonderful to hear from MaryAnn, Rebecca, and Pam….and,…the others!!….I went right at it (yes, during the show)and ordered a gift certificate for my sister…THANK YOU!!!,…I didn’t put in a code though,…hmmm????
Thank you for this very generous offer!!,..I loved the message of choosing who you want to be,…my mantra!!,..I want to be upbeat, caring, down to earth, grateful, and a very cool person,..I remind myself of that when things get a little stressfull,…be cool!!!..lol!!..always find the humor and kindness DOES matter!!….
I have four trees up already inside our northern home and decorated the interior of the beach cottage in July just before we left so when we arrive in a few days it will be ready for our festivities!!! FAAA LAAA LAAAA!!! I am passionate about Christmas!!!…never too early to celebrate!!,…going to get some smoked oysters!!..mmmmmmmmmm
xoxoxo Desiree

Tracy!! It was so good chatting with you on your show today!! Made my week!! Even more excited to start decorating now…oh how I’d love the Katsina give away! I just recieved the Katsina serving bowl and it is to die for! Much bigger than I thought….thank you Tracy for being you! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family xoxo Pam

Tracy,
I loved your show today. You mentioned that it’s more exciting to give than to get and you are the “Queen Bee” of giving! You had so many give-aways and special treats it was mind boggling. Bless those little 90 year old pen pals of yours. I think it’s those little touches that set you apart and make you the inspiring role model that you are. It was also so much fun to hear the voices of some of the long-time bloggers. Have a great Thanksgiving, I know ours will be better because of you!

Hi Tracy,
I just listened to your radio show for the first time today while visiting my friend. We both admire you so much! I will look forward to listening to your future shows.

I just typed out a comment and accidentally hit a button and POOF! it disappeared. Tracy, I don’t hope you are feeling better soon! Lots of hot Toddies would surely help;o) I was already shopping your site while listening to your radio show, waiting to see what goodies you had for us this week. Hooray! Thankyou so much! More glittering, sparkly clothes will soon be hanging in my closet with their friends, last year’s TP holiday fashion:O) Who wouldn’t love a yummy baklava treat on a Moroccan-ish Katsina plate?? I have the Katsina soup taureen and the gilded monkey is soooo beautiful and cute at the same time!

OOPS! Tracy, I DO hope you are feeling better! YIKES! Of all places for a typo, uGH!
Maybe I need a hot Toddy now:O)

Tracy & Friends~I’ve had the most delicious day~ shopping in Princeton & Ripon while visiting family (who live in Berlin); then “Cheeseburger Weds” pub lunch (won’t be here Fri , followed by Today’s Air-wave of Goodness Radio show, and I’ve just downloaded new Christmas music (Sting; very thoughtful and wintry)…. A glorious day~ thanks for your inspiration! XO

Just popping in quick to say,…. OMG!!! I have never given so much to my sister for a Christmas gift!,…Was it the quilt I was having after remembering the story of the little Kitty who damaged her photos of Switzerland???,…no. no………(how are those Kittys today TRACY?)…no,.. it was really just selfish on my part because I get the same amount!!!…
REBECCA…..I bet you looked exactly like a movie star on South Beach in Tracy’s fashions!!!…yes indeed!!!…
xoxoxo Desiree

Hi Tracy, loved your show today — well, I like them each time! Thanks for the goodies. I almost called in from work too — but I decided not to chance it this time. Take care — and I hope I get Katsina!
Carmen

Hi Tracy…Great show AGAIN…LOVED hearing my sweet Sisters Mary Ann, Pam, and Rebecca chat with you…I just received my HUGE Katsina serving bowl today…I am in LLLOOVVVEE…so to win the Katsina set would be a THRILL..you are too generous!!

Hi Tracy! Another great show:) I love the message about choosing who you want to be each day. It truly has been one I’ve carried with me for some time and continue to explore regularly. I look so forward to Wednesdays now and have begun to arrange my schedule so my “at home” day coincides with your show! Thanks again.

Tracy,
I just love your blog and now your radio show!!! Though I do wish you had more video’s, I’m a visual person and I love to see your craft idea’s, decorating….. plus getting to see how you put your outfits together is truely inspirational.

Fantastico!!!!!(Sing like it’s opera). I was hanging garland around a huge old window frame(while listening)that I converted into a mirror………what is it about the X-MAS bug hitting so early?

Tracy:
Thank you again for an inspiring show. I love the kitty story-We have two kitties and they are like having children-I just brought one to the vet-she had to have dental work!!!
She is fine and feeling great!!I must say you fill a gap in my heart-since my Mom passed away and I cannot talk to her three times a day, I come to your beautiful website and it fills me with such joy! My husband and son know it’s Tracy Porter time! Thanks for all the goodies today and every day!XO Jean PS :It was great to hear from all those lovely callers today!

what a fun show–it’s like having a conversation with a really good girlfriend. Thanks for keeping it real!

Another GREAT show today, Tracy!!….I really look forward to listening to you each Wednesday, and I’m SO happy your radio show has been so well received….keep up the great work…and THANK YOU for today’s goodies!!!….warmly, Kat

Help…
Can anyone let me know how I can get to today’s podcast.
I can only get to the last two…help please!
I also want to indulge and purchase some of the goodies.
xoxoxo

Hi Tracy,

Sorry to have missed your live show, work you know. I find that I am unable to access the link for today’s show. Any thoughts? Maybe it will show up tomorrow. Sounds like it was another great one.

It’s already 7:15 CST and still no podcast! I’m trying to wait patiently for all of the goodness especially after reading everyone’s comments.

Darling Tracy….You had me running around like a chicken with no head today! I listened to your radio program while I was foil highlighting my hair at home. Everytime I heard you mention a special surprise for us loyal TP devotees, I had to drop what I was doing and run for a pen to take notes. I loooove the prospect of being gifted new Tracy Porter dinnerware! Dennis and I are registered currently at PB. Nice dishes, but nothing compared to yours! The pattern would be so perfect with the color I just painted our very tiny and quaint dining room. (Tess our Golden Retriever puppy, by the way, thought dipping her paws in my paint pan 2 days ago would add a nice touch by adding puppy paw prints to our freshly cleaned carpet!) In the end, all is well and looking oh so Bohemian Cottage Chic. I love your show and just listening to your joy filled fresh take on everything. I’m jumping online right now to get that fabulous faux mink jacket (thank you for the special radio promo). Please pick me Tracy, your dinnerware would be so very loved by us. Hugs and Martinis….Nancy

Hi Tracy,

I so agree with you about choosing who you are! It is important to take that time to decide the kind of person one wants to be. I do that in every area of my life. We play so many roles in our lives-Mom, wife, sister, friend, teacher, coach,athlete, arist, teacher and so on. I ask myself,
“What kind of Mom do I want to be?” “What kind of friend do I want to be?” Then I act on it. Voila! I become the kind of Mom, friend etc, I want to be! So much better than just going along without ever thinking about the kind of energy we are putting out into the Universe.
Your children are lucky to have you teaching them about creating their self-image at such a young age.

I loved hearing from people from the Blog on your show, too. Glad you are enjoying it so much. Merci, merci, merci…
Happy Thanksgiving!…Linda

Ditto Anne-Marie….and the give aways are to die for!!!! Who loves you baby

Hello Tracy & crew,
I finally got to listen to the entire show live today,I really enjoyed it and thank you so much for your generous gifts! It was like talking to girlfriends, I love that you take calls. You inspire me in so many ways, today I decided to get our tree early, I have already tagged it. We have a small Christmas tree farm here in NH, it is just a small family business yet we always get our tree late, because we are busy doing so many other things, next weekend for us! Yet we do have a new puppy, a Bernese Mountain dog, in part inspired by your Newfies, we have been on the fence for years and finally did it, we also have a ten year old Golden and she has really taken to him. I just wonder how he will be around the tree?
Thanks for everything and for the reminder to be true to ourselves, to let go of the “perfection ideal”, and enjoy each day in a unique way.
Cheers,
Kathy

Hi Tracy, I just wanted to say “thank you” so much for today’s little radio gift. I just ordered the Vintage Faux Mink Jacket, and plan to wear it with another Tracy piece for Christmas this year. In fact, I know I will wear that jacket a lot straight into the New Year. Wishing you, your family and all of my fellow Tracy Devotees a joy filled Thanksgiving! (I also pray that Santa will leave some Katsina dinnerware under my tree for my baby and me!) xo

I am sad because it’s 9:20 and the new podcast isn’t up… Maybe tomorrow!

Thanks again for another great show. You always seem to inspire me!!!!

Today’s show was just too dang fun! Tracy, you are a gem! So great to hear all the callers too! Oh! And I had an epiphany, thanks to you, Tracy: why not start my Christmas decorating NOW, instead of stressing over it after Thanksgiving? (Especially since we’re not hosting T-day this year, but we have two parties to host in Dec.). Now I don’t feel so overwhelmed! Whew!

I missed this afternoon because of work…am going to try and catch it now!

I love Katsina and want to be included in the drawing. Thanks Tracy!

Tracy…loved listening to your show today! I would love to win Katsina for my Daughter!

Loved the show Tracy! You are having fun and so are we….xoxo

Hello Tracy & Co.

As always, I thoroughly enjoy the show! It’s amazing how days and weeks just blend together!
What AMAZING goodies you had for all of us today! THANK YOU!!! I just returned from the Annual Brookfield Chamber of Commerce Dinner and I was spreading the word about you and the radio show! It’s quite easy to do when you wear just a couple of your things! I’ll miss you next week, but like yourself I will be busy preparing the FEAST! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your and the crew at the studio!!
Karen

Hi Tracy!
Great show today! I thought about your dilemma in regards to putting up your Christmas tree early, so I thought I’d throw my two cents in.
I am ALL about Christmas, the earlier the better, music playing, treats baking, etc. but there’s something to be said about wonderful family traditions as well.
When I was a child my parents set up the most wonderful traditions that have now carried on to our families.
You spoke about all of the men going out together and cutting down the tree together with such fondness it seriously made me jealous (I live in So. Cal). It just sounded so lovely and I bet your boys love it!
I say stick with tradition! (or have two trees this year)…
xoxo
Kristen

Tracey, thank you bunches for the upbeat chatter today! What a happy hour pick-me-up while under deadlines. I so appreciate the reminder that every day grants us a choice to be who we want to be. I continue to enjoy all your generous advice for beautiful living, thinking, decorating… just love all that you share. You are one big heart in my book! Thank you thank you and Happy Thanksgiving to you and family!

Oops, Tracy, forgive me for misspelling your name a second ago. Have another dear friend with an “e” in there. : )

I loved your show yesterday (as always!). The phrase, “You choose who you want to be each day” really has stuck with me. It really is a choice, isn’t it!

Loved the show again!! I hope I can be included in the drawing.

Sign me up for a crack at Katsina! Love that pattern!
So fun going “on air” with you yesterday, I promised my girls that they could listen to the pod cast today!!!

Tracy – GREAT show today!! I always look forward to getting home on Wednesday nights so that I can pour a glass of wine and curl up with my lap top and listen to you and the inspiration that you offer so generously. And thank you for another great giveaway!! The Katsina is SUCH a beautiful pattern and what a lovely early Christmas gift for the lucky winner!! Thanks for another great show, Tracy.

Tracy, you made being on the radio so comfortable! It was such fun to chat, and you were so gracious in person, just as you are in your videos and on the blog – no surprise there! What I love about the things you design, as you know, is how they somehow GO with everything I already have! I hadn’t considered Katsina pieces with what I have, but now that you’ve offered them as a giveaway I am seeing that they WOULD happily join my collection of dishes and plates! How do you do that??? Sending love and gratitude and Thanksgiving wishes…

Another great show! So much fun!

Fun show Tracy, and yes we are the home of the wayward kittens/cats. Even our neighbors cats find their way to our door. One neighbor accused me of bribing the cats with catnip!!! Don’t need too!!! Also, when my oldest was 2 we were living in Europe and a little restaurant that we frequented had the most wonderful escargot so after a couple of times of him getting a luscious snail from our plates he decided that he no longer wanted to share and as soon as the waiter would come to our table he would order escargot for himself. He, as we all, also loves smoked oysters and smoked clams!!! We always have those among the goodies on New Years Eve!!! Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!!!

Thanks for the videos and podcasts; please sign me up for the Katsina…Such goodness..
xoxoxo
Diane

TRACY – It was wonderful chatting with you. I appreciate having the chance for a little back and forth in person…instead of me just talking to you in your videos:)I hope your Thanksgiving food fabulous too.
P.S. Send that Katsina MY way….OK?….just between us:)
Love, Mary Ann

Hi Tracy — I love your radio show! I just finished listening to this latest one by podcast. I may summon the courage to call in on your next show in December–YIKES!! I’m just afraid I might get stage fright not be able to speak. : ) Anyway, I’m really enjoying all the different subjects you talk about from being positive, becoming who you envision your best self to be, and of course, decorating and making a wonderful nest. I just love it! Your suggestions & videos are really helping me with our home reno that is in progress as we speak, so thank you for being so generous with your secrets & ideas. Looking forward to seeing you on your blog and in radio in a couple of weeks. Have a lovely Holiday!

Hi Tracy, I YAM so grateful for your radio show…love the stories!! (“Heirlooms we don’t have in our family, but stories we got!”).

Hi Tracy,
I just listened again to the radio show as I missed some from yesterday. Thanks for the great sale! I would love to win the dinnerware, please pick me!

Enjoyed your show Tracy! So much fun to hear from callers too! Hey, I had an idea for you today…not for the show but, have you ever thought of designing a casual line of men’s clothing? Maybe just a few shirts and sweaters to start with. Just an idea… I know you already have the perfect model.

Tracy, I enjoyed your radio show. Just hearing your voice puts me in a great mood! Happy Thanksgiving.

Loved the show Tracy. It was great hearing the voices of the other Bloggers. We all adore you and thank you for your inspirations!!
How wonderful it is to listen to so much Positive chatter.
Laura

Enjoyed your show. I downloaded it and listened to it in the car (I mean taxi) on my way taking the kids to and from sporting practices. Would love love to win that dish set… Glad you are blogging again and love your radio and video segments. Marcy

Oh, I really enjoy your radio show Tracy. I don’t know if I’ll be able to listen live but I definitely listen. It’s so nice to have you join me in my kitchen while I’m working away. It really is like having you over for tea. Thanks so much for all that you do. You really inspire me.

Lynn

Hi Tracy,

Yeah, the podcast is up and I am listening and sipping and contemplating your lovely words.

I have just found and fell in love with your brand and website. Do you have any older catalogs that I could get from you. I just received my first one and I would love to see what all I have missed. I can send money. I was a chef but after a bad car accident, I have to work from home on my “good days”. I am teaching myself fashion design, sewing, serging, and fiber art (mixed media art, actuallly). I was so insppired from the first catalog, I would love to peruse any older issues you might have and not need. Thanking you in advance, I am
Sincerely yours, Gayle Rush
P.S. I did get a degree in Woment’s Studies so I love the empowerment issues you suggest to the readers. Thanks again!
