Lucketts Fall Market 2024 recap
Another Lucketts Market is in the books! Attending the Lucketts markets has definitely been a perk of moving back to the mid-Atlantic region. My mom and I know the Friday of the Spring and Fall Markets are written in ink on the calendar and we need to work everything else around them. Well, the Early […]
four things | two
Last week, I started a new weekly series – Four Things. These posts are for sharing four things – what I’m reading, watching, loving, and working on. I hope these posts will be a nice place to drop the this-and-that sort of things that happen throughout the week and will be a source of encouragement […]
Lucketts fall market wish list 2024
Here we are at another Lucketts Market! I miss the weather (believe it or not) and friends in Minnesota, but I am so glad to be back on the East Coast again and an hour away from Lucketts. As I’ve shared many times over the years, it’s a special place to me not only because […]
field trip | emporium antiques in Frederick, MD
Yesterday, I drove down to Frederick to meet Jodie of The Past Restored to drop off my oil paintings for the Lucketts Fall Market with her.

picture frame molding | dining room makeover
I feel like I keep returning to the same decorating bag of tricks with picture frame molding, but it is such an inexpensive and easy way to add architectural detail to a space that it’s hard to resist. A room can look stately, classic, and more interesting with just a couple hundred dollars invested in […]
four things | one
I used to share a monthly favorites post and stopped during our move because it became a little overwhelming! Collecting my favorites through the month seemed more difficult in all of the upheaval and chaos of the move and renovations. I am finding my stride again and realize I miss sharing my favorites. I considered […]
original oil paintings to sell at Lucketts
It was sort of inevitable. I move back to within an hour from Lucketts and I get sucked back in. (And I mean that in the best possible way.) If you were reading this blog before I moved to Minnesota, you’ll remember the days when I was a full-time vendor at the Old Lucketts Store […]
antique empire buffet
When I painted the dining room ceiling a few weeks ago, eagle-eyed readers might’ve noticed the new buffet in the corner under the plastic dropcloth. I haven’t shown that corner of the dining room often, so it may have been overlooked entirely. I recently acquired the beautiful antique Empire buffet from a local consignment shop […]
