Loads of great vintage finds that we are tearing down and rebuilding into stunning, one of a kind creations such as this exquisite necklace....a mix of sapphire blue and aged pearl.....we've mingled into an art deco/art nouveau hybrid. We think it's gorgeous!<br />

I know we've been a bit short on narrative as of late but, many things are happening here at the Abbey. It is with deeply heartfelt thanks we appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for Kelly. Surgery went well, we will know all reports in about 5 more days. We feel the love ladies and thank you so much for it!<br />

**For those of you kind enough to be keeping Kelly in your prayers, her surgery had been rescheduled for today at 1pm central time. Last week as she was literally being wheeled into the operating room, they cancelled surgery due to her low WBC count caused by chemo. We again ask that you keep her in your thoughts today. We are so very appreciative of your kindness!<br />

I am taking this time to ask any who may stumble upon our wee blog here to please send up a shout to heaven on behalf of my little sister,Kelly (pictured above with her 3 boys).<br />
Kelly was diagnosed last fall with breast cancer, a very unusual type affecting only 1% of all breast cancer patients. She has made it through her chemo,(all that beautiful mane is temporarily gone), and, today faces surgery at Cancer Treatment Centers of America, Zion Illinois ....she will then complete her radiation upon returning home to Ohio.<br />
Kelly is one of the kindest, friendliest, most compassionate people you could ever hope to meet. We are asking just a second of your life to send up a prayer for her that her life may continue, full speed ahead & cancer free forever! If possible, please ask your friends to also pray for Kelly or, share this posts link on your blog. Thank you so very, very much!<br />

I stumbled upon a very tiny weathered clapboard home that had 2 rooms turned into a "store" by its elderly owners.<br />

"We were offering 50% off " said the old, white haired man whose twice as wrinkled wife with the forward curving spine completed his sentence...."Today it's 75% off! We are moving to Virginia next week and we are just too old and tired to move all this stuff so, come, take advantage of the elderly!" and she bellowed a hardy laugh.<br />

I purchased 4 "Grab Bags" of old jewelry as well as an enchanting vintage bone china teacup and saucer, from England , mint condition,,,,,,pale celadon background with detailed Columbine flowers painted on and edged in 24K gold. There were some really sweet finds in my Grab Bags, as you can see.<br />

<i>It feels as though we are herding cats as of late. It has been a bit chaotic trying to get everything organized so as to get our webstore up and running. We have <a href="http://www.leskofolio.com/">a cream of the crop graphic/animation specialist</a> so, that is not the problem but rather, the sticky wicket is we ladies of the abbey. Getting to inventorying , pricing, photographing and wording of our offerings is difficult & quite time consuming. I have already received text, emails and fb messages of persons wanting to purchase what very few items we have shown, albeit they are not yet priced. The spotlight photos are our original yet, the actual items , with very sterile, boring, individual photos that then come up are not our creations :(. They are generic images of standard ,run of the mill creations and, although they are nice, alas.....<u>they are not</u> <u>our unique handmade & vintage offerings</u>. We hope to have the site full steaming aheading in another week, until then, those who have text me etc. with request for <u>our</u> items they have seen here or, on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/darla.mullen">personal fb page</a>, we will honor your "first dibs". We thank & appreciate your generous patience.</i></div>

In the front parlor are 2 large, matching, vintage jelly cupboards which, due to a nasty accumulation of junk 'n' stuff, I had not paid attention to for quite sometime. This weekends mingle featured Kelley C. (aka <a href="http://www.junqueygal.blogspot.com/">JunqueyGal</a>) and her mystical,magical stitchery machine along with totes of vintage trims, buttons and baubles. It re-ignited the dampened fuse in my brain and ,*poof*!, I recalled the stash stuffed cupboards.<br />

As with any overwhelming matter requiring sharp synaptic skills to be employed under a certain calm, levelheadedness , we hustled our bustles and got to sorting out vintage linen from lace & barkcloth then began fastidiously cutting, piecing, and sewing........<br />

This mingle turned into a sleep-over, weekend retreat as how can one possibly stop the flow of creativity once the dam has been broke ?......as was the case when the old jelly cupboard doorknob was turned......In the morning we had hardy steel-cut oats, piping hot with a large dollop of Fig Jam.....indulgent for we humble tinkers of the abbey.<br />

Don't forget simple to assemble huts & houses to attract beneficial friends such as bees, butterflies,bats and toads.
