Oppurtunity Knocks

Or... maybe we knocked first...

Have you ever wanted something and wondered if you should ask? Well, I've learned that it never hurts to ask. Last week Kathy and Linda (aka. Soul Sisters) visited Race Horse Lane, a beautiful old house turned into a store in Midway, Utah. The store has a small cottage attached. As it turned out, showing our work, asking what was available and a little negotiation led us to now selling our wares in the small cottage during the Holiday Season. We are very excited to showcase what we've all been working on. After some hard work, here are some photos of partial displays we set up in the cottage. More photos to come.




Having worked through the weekend to get this set up for December has been fun, interesting, new and a challenge. Another opportunity we are looking forward to is 'Swiss Days' in 2009. We'll keep you posted as the cottage progresses and hope to see you soon! Pat

Pat, you need to check out Etsy. It is an online store where people sell everything. The best part for me are the handmade items. I think you should open up an Etsy store. Here is the link...http://www.etsy.com/
I hope all is well. We hope you can come for a visit someday soon.
Love and God bless,
Shaun

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!
