Now, THAT'S HOT!

I love shutters and I believed until today that I was the queen of ideas on how to use old shutters - au contraire!

Check this out - I think I've seen everything now.

Drop in and see the chippy shabby shutters at abode!

Message in a bottle

I distinctly recall the eye staring back at me as the accordion partition closed each afternoon.  It was a soft blue with a large black pupil and I would get out of the bed and pad around the room ducking up and down as the eye followed me.  "Go to sleep", said Mrs. Michelle as she tapped her broom on the bottom step.  I sat on the bed and watched the particles rise, swim and settle.  Eventually, I would sleep and when I woke Uva would be sitting on the other bed, shoes off, all arms, legs and perspiration.  He would tousle my hair and tell me not to touch the eye, "it's real, you know, from a deer my dad shot".

I would think about the one-eyed deer and wonder if he wore a patch over his eye like me.

So he cut off his ear to spite his face!

Often abode girls go the extra mile, (literally).  The day the construction worker burst in the door and shouted, "he's on the run!"  Jessica and he took up the chase running after a high school kid and his friends who had helped themselves to a print of Van Gough's sunflowers from our outdoor display.  They ran fast and they ran far and finally they caught up and asked him why?  Because he wanted it - Jess smacked him upside the head and said he could have pulled weeds, washed windows scrubbed toilets to earn it.

Oh, Vincent, did you ever dream you would inspire such action?

Remember Ghost?

We have a potter coming to the fLeA 4 aLL!  Check out her inventive funkiness . . .

My personal favorite

flea 4 all last call

A little melancholy settles over abode as our flea season draws to a close.  Saturday is shaping up to be THE fabulous flea of the season.

Take a look at a few of the treasures headed our way . . .

Saturday 9 am to 2 pm @ abode!

Shop shots

Boot scootin' boogie season is just around the corner

fLeAs dO iT

Merm and Stefi are hitting the road Saturday . . . bringing out the good stuff to sell at flea.o.logy 218 N. Main Street Payson, Utah, 8 am to 3 pm.  If you've  never been to this flea, you're missing out!  More than 30 vendors bringing it on in true flea fashion.  Gas up the car, stop at the bank, eat a good meal and shop your heart out.

We'll leave the light on for you.

Strangers in the night

Strangers in the night exchanging glances 
Wond'ring in the night what were the chances 
We'd be sharing love before the night was through 

Something in your eyes was so inviting 
Something in you smile was so exciting 
Something in my heart told me I must have you 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/f/frank+sinatra/strangers+in+the+night_20056148.html ] 
Strangers in the night 
Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night 
Up to the moment when we said our first hello little did we know 
Love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away 

They could be yours!

fLeA 4 aLL small but mighty

A little bird told me that Saturday's flea will have some mighty shabby-liscious finds . . . just that special touch.  Come and see if the bird is the word!

9 am to 2 pm

Heavy hearts and high hopes

It is with mixed emotions I announce the end of an era sad for me and happy for her . . . Katie is leaving abode.  She has been with us for 6 years and we have literally grown up with her!  She is opening a new chapter in life - she is full speed ahead to become a crime scene investigator ("Whoooooo are you? do do do do).  She is studying a rigorous scientific curriculum and will be heads down for the next couple of years.  I'll miss her like crazy and I know I am all the better for having her in my life.

Katie Girl keep in touch!

Join us at the flea 4 all to wish her farewell

 back when she first joined us

Stupor of thought

I'm dumb.  Not dumb as in stupid but dumb as in I suddenly can't think of a thing to say.  Not that we don't have the cutest stuff right now, not that nothing is happening, (we are crackling with activity).  I'm blocked, stumped, gagged, silent.

I know I'll recover, I always do, but for now please forgive my silence.

Blessed honored pioneer!

We will be closed Tuesday July 24th, come and see us on Wednesday!

Come flea with me

Come flea with me, let's flea, let's flea away 

If you can use some exotic finds

There's a flea 4 all Saturday 

Come on and flea with me, let's flea, let's flea away
