"When I saw something that needed doing, I did it."--Ellen "Nellie" Cashman Nellie Cashman: The Angel of Cassiar, The Saint of Sourdoughs, The Angel of Tombstone, The Miner's Angel, and Champion Woman Musher of the Yukon Whoa, Nellie! Described as "Pretty as a Victorian cameo, and when necessary, tougher than two penny nails," this five foot tall force to be reckoned with was a legend in her own time. If you look up Nellie Cashman, the word following her name is restaurateur. And though she certainly did open boarding houses and eating establishments, she did much more. Her real legacy was her philanthropy, which included building schools, hospitals, and churches in frontier towns from the Mexican border to Alaska--wherever she temporarily put down her roots. In addition to entrepreneurial pursuits, which included a boot store and a general stores, Nellie became a successful prospector herself. She made and gave away several fortunes in her life time. Did I mention she was also friends with the likes of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday? Her story begins in 1845, Ireland at the start of the Great Famine, or an Gorta Mór (the Great Hunger). This was the year Ellen "Nellie" Cashman was born to a poor Catholic family near Cobh, Co. Cork. When Nellie was five her family emigrated to America as a matter of survival. Somewhere along the way she lost her father (bit of a mystery there. History doesn't tell us what happened to him), leaving her mother to raise Nellie and her sister, Fannie, by herself within the Irish community in Boston. Both girls took jobs as soon as they were old enough, and it was while working as a bellhop that Nellie was reportedly* advised by none other than Ulysses S. Grant to go west where there would be better opportunities. The three Cashman women set off for San Francisco. This was during the Gold Rush, and the opportunity the ladies grasped was the miners need for creature comforts. They went from boom-town, to boom-town, opening boarding houses and restaurants. These were not places for the faint of heart and where many of the only other women were prostitutes. Nellie continued successfully on her own, opening boarding houses, restaurants, and retail ventures all over the west. Though, not forgetting her family's own struggles, she wouldn't let a miner go hungry even if he couldn't pay for his meal. She befriended the homeless, prostitutes, outlaws, and other people on the fringe of polite society. Her restaurant, Delmonico's, was the first business in Tucson. Later she would raise money to open St. Mary's Hospital and a church. She always had her ears cocked to gather information, and so was often among the first to go to the next big strike, pulling up stakes and moving on. It's said that just by sweeping the floors of her restaurants, she collected about $100 in gold dust a day. Over time, she learned the skills needed to be a prospector, at one time owning up to 11 mines. Nellie Cashman covered a lot of ground and was active wherever she went. I'm going to concentrate on two of the more significant events in her life: her years in Canada and Tombstone, Arizona. The Angel of Cassiar: In 1871, Nellie, being the sole woman, joined a team of prospectors who headed for British Columbia. She continued, in her way, working and raising funds for charitable institutions, in particular her favorite, the Sisters of Saint Ann. She was on her way to deliver $500 to the sisters when she heard that nearly 100 miners had been trapped in a winter storm and were suffering from scurvy. She organized a rescue team and they began the perilous journey. Wearing snowshoes they pulled sleds through sometimes 10 feet of snow, to deliver provisions, including limes to combat the scurvy. The Canadian army, deeming this effort too dangerous, set out to stop the party. When they caught up to them, Nellie explained over tea that she had no intention of calling off her rescue mission. Though she accepted that she might die in the attempt, she couldn't leave the miners to perish. The army let her proceed. Seventy seven days after setting out, the rescuers reached the miners. They nursed them back to health and returned the men to safety, saving as many as 75 men and earning her the title of "The Angel of Cassiar." The Angel of Tombstone: In 1880, Nellie set up shop in Tombstone, AZ about the same time as the Earp brothers. She would stay in this town on and off for the next six years, becoming one of the prominent citizens during her time there, even contributing articles to the Arizona Daily Star. Nellie's house on the corner of Toughnut (appropriately named) and Six St. Here she was joined by her newly widowed sister, Fanny, and her five children. Concerned that her family had no church to go to, she persuaded Wyatt Earp to close his Oriental Saloon on Sundays so she could hold church services there. She was able to collect enough in donations to open Tombstone's first Catholic church. Besides establishing the church she also was able to raise funds to open the first public school in Tombstone. She would solicit money from anyone for her charity projects saying, “Whether the money comes from an upstanding citizen, or a member of the outlaw faction makes no difference to me. The money doesn’t know the difference either. What matters is what it is used for, and I see to it that in one way or another, it helps humanity.” She continued her charity work and took up nursing at the local hospital in addition to opening a restaurant and boarding house. When one customer complained about the food, Doc Holliday pulled out his pistol and said something along the lines of, "Do you want to repeat that, son?" To which the man said, "Best I ever ate." Nellie's Restaurant Exists to this Day Unfortunately, Fanny died of tuberculous. Nellie took on her orphaned nieces and nephews as her own. In 1883 there was an event known as the Bisbee Massacre where four innocent people, included a pregnant woman were shot and killed during a robbery attempt. The town was incensed and wanted revenge, and in fact the leader of the gang was lynched by an angry mob. The four remaining participants were thrown in jail. When Nellie heard there was going to be a public execution and grandstands were being built for spectators, she was horrified, saying that no death was cause for celebration. She befriended two of the prisoners, visiting them in jail and offering spiritual guidance in their remaining days. The night before the hanging, Nellie got together a crew who went out in the night and tore down the grandstands. Then upon learning that the bodies of the executed men were going to be donated to science, she hired two miners to sit watch at Boot Hill day and night for 10 days to prevent the bodies from being "resurrected". Final Years and Legacy: Nellie left Tombstone in 1886 to move to other parts of the state, taking her sister's children with her as she went looking for the next big strike--continuing to do what needed being done. You may wonder, as I did, did she ever find love amidst all these men she worked alongside? She was romantically attached to a fellow prospector, Mike Sullivan. Their intentions to marry were even mentioned in the newspaper. But for whatever reason, the couple never made it to the altar. On the subject of marriage: "I haven't had time for marriage," she told an American reporter. "Men are a nuisance, anyhow, now aren't they? They're just boys grow up." In 1898 she took off for the Yukon looking for gold. She built a home in the Koyukuk River Basin, Alaska, an isolated community of 200 people of whom only a handful were women. She made the arduous journey back to civilization once a year for provisions. In 1922 the Associated Press documented her journey to Anchorage. Even though she had been tagged as an angel, it was said she was anything but in defense of her property. She could be aggressive and not above bending the law. Not one to retire quietly, she set a new record with her dog team, covering 750 miles in 17 days. She was in her late 60's or early 70's at the time. She died of pneumonia in 1925 in one of the hospitals she helped establish more than 50 years earlier. Legends of the West Series, Postage Stamps Nellie is gone, but happily she has not been forgotten. In 1994 the United States Post Office gave her a stamp in the series Legends of the West. She is one of three women to get a stamp in this set of twenty along with Annie Oakley and Sacajawea. The Alaska Mining Hall of Fame inducted her posthumously in 2006. In 2007, she was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. A monument was erected to her in 2014 in Co. Cork, Ireland near her hometown. Every August Nellie Cashman Day is celebrated in Tombstone, AZ. * I use the term "reportedly" because as she was a legend even in her own time, tall stories started cropping up. For instance, on the back of the postage stamp is this inscription: "The Angel of Tombstone, Anti-violence peacemaker who ran a boarding house, raised orphans, campaigned against public hanging, and once saved a man from an angry mob." The story goes that she once drove her buggy into the middle of a mob who were intent on lynching a man. She rescued and then spirited him away to safety. She could have done. But there isn't much evidence that she did, and this might have been made up.

Nellie's Choice • Embossing Pons Grote Roos

@gontanokoneroku This beauty for you!

This is my post on the Sparkle N Sprinkle blog today using the new and beautiful stamp set 'My Wild Rose'. I did a simple and easy fun fold card (sorry I forgot to jot down the measurements...sigh). I used my much loved Tonic 12" Guillotine to cut to size. Sticker Paper was added to both top and bottom flap pieces over designer paper. After adding the Sticker Paper I adhered a Marianne Lace die cut, then sprinkled with Cloud Nine glitter and using a SNS Glitter Brush to brush away the excess glitter. I did the same for the smaller piece at the top, but just used a smaller Marianne Lace die. I added color and sparkle to this little Rose accent by misting it with the beautiful Nuvo Mica Mist Turkish Rose This is the finished misted Rose, adding it to a ribbon bow. I stamped the image My Wild Rose onto a Spellbinders Die Circle Delight die cut on the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform using Versamark and embossing with Key Lime embossing powder. The image was then colored in with Aqua Flow 2 pack water brush and Brilliantly Vibrant Watercolor Pencils. I added little dots of Nuvo CrystalDrops Bubblegum Blush. This is how the card opens, I added a small velcro dot to hold the top down in position, simply pull up the flap to open. This is the inside of the card, using Tim Holtz Stamp Platform I stamped the sentiment with Panama Rose from the Nuvo Diamonds Hybrid Ink Tropical Fruits ink set.

Traditioneller Schnitt und hochwertige Materialien treffen bei unserem CocoVero Dirndl Nellie „Autumn Glaze" aufeinander. Die schlichte Eleganz und das zeitlose Design machen das Dirndl in dieser herbstlichen Farbe zu einem richtigen Hingucker.  Die traditionelle Schnursteppung an Front- und Rückseite des Mieders sowie der verdeckte Hakenverschluss unterstreicht den minimalistischen Look. Das Highlight des Dirndls ist das weiche, anschmiegsame Mieder aus einem hochwertigen Samt. Die dezent gestreifte Schürze sowie der leichte Glanz im Rockstoff und die Biesen am Rocksaum unterstreichen die erstklassige Verarbeitung des Midi-Dirndls, welches in Handarbeit gefertigt wird.  Das CocoVero Emblem an Schürze und Rückenteil spiegelt die Handschrift der Designerinnen wider und macht es zu einem unverkennbaren CocoVero Dirndl. Dank des besonders breiten Schürzenbandes gelingt auch die CocoVero typische große Dirndlschleife im Handumdrehen.    Praktisch befinden sich im Rock zwei eingenähte Taschen sowie genügend Nahtzugabe im Mieder, um das Dirndl um je eine Größe anzupassen.

Now onto my card for this months "REVEAL"! When I saw the new sets released for June I was super excited that two of them were ROSES!! I have a HUGE fondness for Roses! I stamped my Roses with Versamark on lightweight Vellum. (I like to use the lightweight as it shows the colors better.) Then I sprinkled my White Detail Embossing Powder on and heat set. I did one extra Rose for a future use! I flipped the Roses over and colored with my Copics on the BACK side. I know I have shown you this technique many times and it is a favorite of mine for sure! I fussy cut the Roses out, then adhered with very tiny pieces of Tear-ific 1/4" tape here and there along the edges onto a piece of white card stock, then fussy cut them once again. I love the soft, pastel look of them. These were set aside and I cut a circle with my circle cutter, then coated it heavily with Brushable Glue. and sprinkled Bubblegum glitter on (don't you just love the name of the glitter)!! I used my 'finger' tool to rub the glitter on. I cut a Cheery Lynn Lords and Commons Doily die and added on top once the glitter was dry. The Roses were then offset on top of that. For the sentiment, I stamped once again with Versmark on white card stock, then used Silver Fine Detail embossing powder and heat set. To me, this embossing powder is like 'magic'! It literally comes alive once it is heat set!! The background is an embossing folder from W R Memory Keepers called 'quilted'! Thanks for visiting with me today, I am the end of the hop, but if you need to go to the start go to Chris's blog. Don;t forget to leave a comment on each of the blogs for a chance to win the ENTIRE release! Entering the following challenges: Cheery Lynn Designs .... Lots of Layers
