Lucketts leftover sale this week
I have received a bunch of e-mails and comments asking about the fate of the leftovers from Lucketts. As we did last year, we will list them all in the online shop, so readers who aren’t local and have a crack at purchasing some of the pieces I’ve shared on my blog over the past […]
indigo dyed napkins
A few of you spotted (and asked about) the blue napkins I used in my table arrangement last week… …so, this post is all about them. These napkins are actually antique linen napkins from my Oma. They look quite lovely in the picture below, but they were actually a very yellowy-cream that I never cared […]
styling tips | for retail
I’ve written several posts about styling over the years, but I’ve grown a lot and learned a lot along the way and it’s probably time for an update. (I have also received a few comments and e-mails about it lately.) Styling is a broad topic, so I’ll break this up into a series. In my […]
ironstone, a tool tote, bottles & tags

The gates were opened and customers […]
Lucketts 2016 Recap | part 1
My alarm went off at 5:15 am on Friday morning. I don’t usually do 5:15 am (or anything before 8:30, if I can help it.) It was like Christmas morning, though. Your body feels energized instead of groggy. Exciting things await, so let’s get to it. I showered and put on the linen shirt dress […]
“it’s like getting off of roller skates”
I’m going to give a full recap of Lucketts once my brain solidifies once again. It’s total mush at the moment. When I was driving home from the market on Friday, I was trying to articulate to my mom how “out of it” I felt after such a full day. I almost didn’t recognize the […]
