Unusual and dramatic
accents are featured in this
traditional home with a golf
course view. Pictured above
is the lower level with a full
size pool table. The sitting
room has a custom
designed cherry bar and, of
course, a gorgeous view of
the fairway. The lower level
also has an office, bedroom
and 1-1/2 baths.
At right, the open kitchen
and eating area uses cherry
mouldings on crisp white
cabinets for an old-world
touch. Hardwood floors
complement the rich colors
of green, black and rose.
The tiles behind the cooktop
were handpainted to the
homeowner’s own design.

Nite in Olde Cumming
Get ready for Mardi Gras in May
Spring has sprung and that can
only mean one thing around
Forsyth County- Nite in Olde
Cumming, sponsored by the
Sawnee Woman’s Club. This
year’s theme, “Mardi Gras in
May,” will feature food, fun and
fantastic music.
The Sawnee Woman’s Club, a k
member of the Georgia Federation
of Woman’s Clubs, has been active
in the county area for more than 12
years. Nite in Olde Cumming is
the only fund raiser for the club
and has become an annual tradi

BEANIES from IB
Christmas. Children love them and
adults can’t buy them fast enough.
“We get calls every day all
day —asking have they arrived
yet,” Montgomery said. “I’ve seen
people stop the UPS truck in the
parking lot.”
The truth is, no one ever knows
if or when the shipment of Beanie
Babies will arrive. Store owners
place orders and hope for the best.
In shopping centers from one end
of Forsyth County to the other,
stores have posted signs on the
door, “We are temporarily out of
Beanie Babies.” Secrecy is part of
the marketing success.
New designs are released each
year at strategic times and less

tinually reach into their creative
bag of tricks to come up with new
animals. So far, all the babies are
representations of live animals,
with the exceptions of Spook the
Ghost, Mystic the Unicom, Magic
the Dragon and three dinosaurs;
Bronty, Rex and Steg.
The size and reasonable price of
the collectible is attracting buyers
in every age group. Originally
designed for a child’s imagination
and pocketbook, Beanie Babies are
addictive. You can’t have just one.
Six-year old, Melissa Simmons
has just started collecting Beanie
Babies. Melissa likes unusual ani
mals and her modest collection
includes, Sparky the Dalmatian,
Valentino the Bear, Tank the
Armadillo and Fleece the Lamb.

Melissa knows the names and birth
dates of her animals and she defi
nitely “wants all 70.” She knows
the accompanying poems for her
animals and understands that
retired means her babies will be
worth more. But until that time,
she is very happy to play with
them.
After visiting the Beanie Babies’
WebSsite I know more than I care
to. I left an e-mail message for
Quackers the Duck, and explored
the Beanie Game Board.
Somehow that seems a little
strange; a toy that requires no bat
teries only imagination to enjoy, is
hyped on the Internet.
But they are cute. Stripes the
Tiger looks at me from the top of
my fireplace mantel.
