soap and brush gallery
A few months ago, I curated some collections on eBay and shared them on my blog. Now, I’m refreshing the ones that were the post popular…adding even more inspirational goodness and, this time, including vintage and antique finds that are similar to those I use in my home. I found a set of French cane chairs […]
installing a flagpole
About a year ago, we lost our flagpole in a storm…it may have even been during Hurricane Sandy. The flagpole bracket was plastic and a strong wind finally snapped it off. With everything else going on, it wasn’t a priority to put up a new flagpole bracket, but finally, when it was 18 degrees […]
Show Business | Tagging & Setting Up
Today I’m continuing the series on “show business”, aka being a vendor at an antique show/fair/market. If you missed part one, you can check it out HERE. In part two, we’re going to talk about tagging (branding) and planning the space. If you haven’t noticed, I’m a little in love with my tag. There’s something […]
Show Business | Part 1
As I’ve mentioned how I’m getting ready for the Luckett’s Spring Market, I’ve received several e-mails asking various questions about my process, so I thought I would share the answers with “the group” in the way of a series. I think we’re overdo for some information-heavy posts, anyway! So, here we go… If you’re happily […]

She’s all-around awesome and a lover of furniture as well, so I knew the picks were in good hands. Here she is… Hi Friends! […]
more finds & the holy grail
I unpacked and tagged some more of my finds from Friday. The contents of the box I unpacked were wrapped in a padded, bluish-green plastic. As soon as I unwrapped the first piece, I realized what they were – disposable, absorbent pads. Also know as “wee pads.” As I was opening everything, I couldn’t help […]
fun finds & help wanted
I don’t know about you, but the whole “sping forward” thing messes me up for a week each year. This morning I could hardly keep my eyes open as I made lunches for the boys. Jeff took them to school and I crawled back in bed. By the time I dozed, did my workout, showered […]
Antique Textile Junkie
I remember the first time I browsed through an antique store, I left with two things. One was an aqua mason jar with a zinc lid and the other was a delicate cream child’s bonnet, obviously old and handmade. I was drawn to the yellowed patina on the fabric, the dreams that may have been […]
