good & perfect time

Timing is an interesting thing. If you have read my blog for a while, you may remember that we put our house on the market almost exactly three years ago. We had seen a local farm that was for sale and we were hot to buy it! We got our house ready and listed it […]
Lucketts 2017 | part 3

On Saturday morning, the Lucketts Spring Market didn’t start until 10:00. That gave my team a chance to catch a collective breath. We all slept in a little bit later and were treated to an amazing breakfast by our hostess at the Zion Springs Bed & Breakfast, Chris. Waffles topped with strawberries and whipped cream […]
Lucketts Recap 2017 | part 2

If you missed part 1 of the Lucketts 2017 recap, you can check it out HERE. Friday was VIP day, but it was a little different this year. The VIP tickets were essentially for early admission from 8:30 – noon. At noon, the gates opened to general admission, so we were expecting a morning rush […]

That is where we’ll be and […]
Lucketts set up

Last year, I thought my new digs for Lucketts, a 20 x 40 “circus tent”, sounded enormous. I kept adding more and more stuff to the “pile”, so I made sure the space would be filled. Well, two rental trucks later and the space was certainly full! It was overflowing, in fact, and trying to find […]
the doodle book & an empty studio

Just in case Lucketts wasn’t exciting enough, this weekend is also the launch of my newest book – The Home Design Doodle Book! This book was such a labor of love, partly because of the content, but also because it was drawn/written entirely by hand! I had no idea what I was getting into when […]
the last-minute hutch

Going on a shopping trip for “just smalls” is a dangerous thing for me. I just can’t help turning over the tags of pieces of furniture calling my name! There were several pieces that I was able to walk away from and I almost made it out the door without this piece, but I couldn’t […]
