This weekend is the Lucketts Spring Market and it’s the first time since 2010 that I am not there. Lucketts has been such a huge part of my business since the beginning, but it’s now over 1,000 miles away. It’s hard not being there, but I’ll admit that it’s nice to have a break from all of that physically taxing … Read More
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.

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 a place for everything was … Read More
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!
