If you missed part 1 of the Lucketts 2017 recap, you can check it out HERE. Friday was VIP day, but it was a little different this year.

I’m getting this guide in at the last minute! It’s just been that kind of day!

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.

Lucketts 2013 Day One Recap
Saturday is always THE DAY of Lucketts. That’s when the die hard buyers come and the place is always bustling.
