Abode Open Market October 11, 2008

Abode, a consignment store in Salt Lake, hosts an open market once a month between May and September. Abode decided to extend the market until October because it draws a huge crowd of shoppers. Word around town is this is the place to be!
These are some items I was selling on Saturday:
Hand Made Knobs
Jars- Hand Made Coaster Sets
Decorative Dishes
Hand Dyed Doilies
Hand Made Decorative Decoupage Tins and Floral Sconces
I look forward to Spring at Abode with better weather and a broader inventory.
Look for knobs at Whisperwood -131 North Main, Bountiful
Knobs soon to be sold through other locations. I'll keep you Posted. Pat

Love and Family

  • I love my family - simply stated, but I absolutely love my family! My immediate family consists of David Kevin Willey or Kevin; the hard-working, talented, kind, generous, caring and loving man that I married...what was he thinking? Did I mention that I love this man? Yes, coveralls and all, it's all good! Randi Lee Willey, my oldest daughter is soon to be 28. Randi is beautiful, loving, caring, compasionate, generous, incredibly creative and great friend and daughter. Cory Lynn Willey is 25 and beautiful, loving, caring, compassionate, generous and creative, with a great sense of humor and a great friend and daughter. And then, there's Ernie. Ernie is soon to be seven years old, is spoiled rotten (no other way to be) and Ernie rules the roost. Ernie loves our family, or at least whomever he is with and trying to protect at the time. My family of origin is The Martinez Clan, which currently consists of 10; Mom, Kathryn M. Perez-Martinez age 80 and sisters and brothers ranging in ages from 59 to 45, some of us who are not quite a year apart from each other...what the hell were they thinking? They are from oldest to youngest: Eleanor Martinez, Sylvia Tuft, Linda Petersen, myself (Pat Willey), Frank Martinez, Jr., Alex Martinez, Alice Brandon, Felix Martinez and Rick Martinez (Father, Frank J. Martinez, deceased in 1999 at age 78 and Robert K. Martinez deceased in 1991 at age 34), making for quite an interesting life, to say the least, but I love them all and wouldn't trade any of it!
