the business brain & the human heart
Before I get into the thick of it, I have to say that you all overwhelm me so often! The first installment of the Lucketts Leftover Sale went live today and pieces were selling before I could even get everything live on the site. So, I’m “listening” to what you’re “saying” and I need to have […]
gardening season two begins…
Just an FYI that the first Lucketts Leftover online sale will start tomorrow (Thursday, June 2, at 9:00 pm EST.) You can click over to my online shop HERE. Our house has a ways to go before it looks really charming from the curb. It has a 1940’s sweetness about it and the landscaping is […]
back to work & other things…
I hope you enjoyed your long weekend. My three day weekend was actually an eight day weekend, since I took a week off to recover from the Lucketts Spring Market (and months of work leading up to it!) I still did computer work…e-mail, blog posts, social media, etc., but I took a break from going into […]

ironstone, a tool tote, bottles & tags
After all of the craziness of Lucketts, I decided to take the week off. I knew I probably would, so I cleared the calendar. Sometimes I think I’ll want a break and then I don’t. I feel the momentum and I am raring to go. This time I thought I would want a break and […]
Lucketts 2016 Recap | part 3
Saturday was the early day of the Lucketts Market, kicking things off at 8:00, so it meant another early morning after a full day Friday. I also didn’t sleep very well the night before. My mind was swimming with the events of the day and the tasks for the next. Sometimes it’s just hard to […]
