I am still playing catch up from Lucketts AND I’ve had loads of new requests for custom pieces, so there is no rest for the weary. There is a lot of cool things happening to me and my little business and I can’t wait to blog all about it.
Sorry for the cliffhanger, but all I have to share today is more pictures from Lucketts. My booth was very picked over at the end of the first day, so I had to dig deep and bring some things from home.
I brought one of my favorite balances…and it sold…
…the side chair from my guest room…and it sold…
…a mirrored end table that I refinished Saturday night…and it sold…
…my living room mirror and sheet music wreath….and…you guessed it….they sold.
It was a great weekend and worth the Saturday night scramble. I also got to meet so many awesome ladies. Here are the ones I snapped a picture with…
I instantly liked Minky Moo from Dial M for Minky. She is so sweet and a riot. I would love to hang out with this girl. She bought my ashtray lamp with the glitter butterfly perched on it. She was starstruck by me, but did you know she was in a diet Snapple commercial?! I just peddle junk. Who’s the real star, here?
I loved spending time with Leslie from Farm Fresh Fun and her adorable kids! She has invited me to root through an old barn on her property and help her think through some decorating choices in her 200 year old farmhouse. Ummm…yeah. That’s my kind of fun.
And Katie and her sweet family were such a delight. She had three kids with her in my booth and not one thing was broken or out of place when they left. She sent this picture along to me to share.
I’ve already mentioned Holly from Roller Coaster Life and you got to meet her in the video. She spent almost an hour hanging out with us and was so much fun. My booth neighbors on one side crowded in a little bit and didn’t price anything, so we were bugged all day with people asking for prices on their stuff. Holly was ready to jump in and rectify the situation for me! She restrained herself, but I appreciated the protective instinct coming out on my behalf.
More video, pictures, and new things coming soon.
PS – Someone asked about my necklace. It’s actually a vintage piece that I found in my grandmother’s attic. It is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry.

So happy that Luckett's was so successful!!! I love your stuff, Marian, and thinking I too might be requesting some custom pieces!

yay for your amazingly successful weekend! Loving the videos and cant WAIT for more info on what you have up your sleeve!
oh! and If I lived even remotely close, instead of ALLLLLLLLLLL the way across the country, I would have come visit too!
I have been following along the Luckets adventure, I just didn't get around to commenting on all of your posts.
I am so happy it went to incredibly well for you. Well actually I don't think that is incredible at all, but totally what I expected. You had great stuff and I am not surprised at all that people were all over it.
The house must seem doubly empty now, and as I read no time to start filling it all up again. You are doing so great with your business, I should really try to follow your example.
i bet your home does feel empty like Marianne said. I just knew you would have to grab more things. You had such wonderful treasures to sell. I am surprised you have anything left. Congrats hun!! That is super
Hugs

So glad it was such a positive experience and sounds like you will be a busy bee with all the new commissions! Yay! Don't you love it when all that hard work pays off? You deserve all your success.

Junk peddler? I think not. Miracle worker and visionary would be more fitting. I'm so glad to hear of your success.
LOVE.LOVE.LOVE your blog 😉 So glad I found you !!!
Sounds like you had a fabulous day. Isn't it fun to meet such great friends too. Hugs, Marty
So exciting!!!
I already sent you an email about pillows- but I love that Cincinnati Seamless one! I guess that's what I was trying to say that I like, the kind of faded worn look, and I love those stripes. Anyway, you probably sold them all but if not, let me know and I'd love to see what you have left!
Were you there for the Lucketts Fair Days too? We drove by on the way to the airport…now I wished we would have had time to stop and look around a bit. That is a great corner for goodies.
Woohoo, leavin' with an empty booth and full pockets, life just doesn't get any better than that, 'less ya won the lottery! Heeehehehe!
I just love the little pillow in the chair, yep, I admit….I'm smitten.
God bless ya and have a terrific day!!!
congrats! you're a crazy little business woman. You made some awesome sales

I am so glad that it all went well for you. And judging from what you brought there, I can imagine the orders will keep coming in!…:)JP
Congratulations on such a successful few days! What lovely objects and meeting everyone looks like so much fun.
Hey! Don't you dare call yourself a junk peddler! I love your stuff and was starstruck for a reason! I'd love to hang out with you too, you are adorable and so talented!!
Sounds like a blast. Love your hair. 🙂
Can you please post a sheet music wreath tutorial? I love it!

Love your blog. I am in the process of refinishing my bedroom furniture from gloss cherry to an anitque cream with glaze. I was wondering if you added the mirror to the top of the cream little table or did it come that way. If so did you glue it to the top. I love the idea….
thanks for any help you can be.
blessings…Sherry
