sub LIME


green is the new black (so says Country Living) and you don't get much funner that this green!


It will wake up any space, not to mention the inspiration you will feel as you incorporate it into your fashion sense.

don't be afraid, just call me!







From the days when phone conversations were an art form, this telephone table hearkens back to the party line, the phone number that started with a word then moved to initials (SH7-1523) and you had to sit in the vestibule to talk on the phone, even if it was that dreamy guy from the malt shop!
You needed a place for the phone book and the family phone numbers kept in a space age looking metal Rolodex with a plastic arrow that slid up and down to select the letter of the alphabet.
You never ate, drove or ordered take out while talking on the phone and your kid brother announced the progression of the phone call to the entire family.
At $35 this walk down memory lane is worth it and the seat is even bark cloth!!

Here's looking at you kid!

I have a creepy fascination with old dolls and I know I'm not alone! There is something deep and mysterious about their staring eyes, I always wonder where they came from and how many little hands have primped and pressed them over the years. How many little baths they have taken, how many naughty brothers have scribbled on them with blue Bic pen (yeah, Skipper and Barbie, fear the pen!).

I'm not a true antique connoisseur - I just love them for their appeal - what about you?

MARKET was ROCKIN' HOT!!





Beauty and interest at Market!


Nate found a quiet place to rest from the heat







You never know what treasures you'll discover
















People braved the construction mess to support MARKET


In honor of the blazing hot sun and the sizzlin' deals!! And a big thanks to all of our vendors with their talent for hunting, gathering and creating! And thanks to all of you who came and enjoyed. We love MARKET and look forward to two more this season. This little set is so cute . . . you're going to want it!

MARKET treats








you have to be there














nO ShOes nO SErViCE! MARKET STYLE!


these are the cutest things I have ever seen to cover a baby's piggies!

Market is a HOOT!!


OK, I'll admit, the decor of the 70s is not my thing! When I finally cracked open my HOPE CHEST (thought I'd never get married - oh, me of little faith), it was full of avocado green utensils, golden rod and rust towels, mushrooms and horror of horrors - OWLS. Good riddance and off to the DI!


Now I meet these cute, darling and adorable fellers and my disdain for all things owl has lifted! I snapped up as many as I could afford last market and I plan to do the same tomorrow - unless, you beat me to it!

Ressurection

I woke up in the middle of the night and realized that "we have a blog!!!" Any of you who know me realize that I have plenty to say and especially about abode!

Feeling sad because our best baby girl Jessica is leaving us for greener pastures (and higher education). She has been the heart of abode and we will try to live up to her legacy. Miss you Jess.

My intention here is to enlighten and entertain - show a few interesting acquisitions and provide anecdotes of abode life.

stay tuned
