For all of the 34 years, we have been steady customers of OWT. It is a true loss! Thanks for providing such a gathering spot for so many occasions. We will miss Old Wives Tales indeed.

Thanks for the memories. I am sad to discover that this business closes after today. We hope you find a way to publish or sell your amazing recipes. I've been coming here since the very beginning. We will miss you so much. Thanks for everything. Blessings to all who have kept this place going and a happy future to you.
