Day one at Lucketts was a crazy blur!  We have tons of pictures and I’ll tell you all about it, but I am totally whipped tonight, so I’ll keep this short and sweet. I had plenty of time this year to get the booth set up exactly as I wanted. When the gates were opened, our booth was mobbed!  It was mahem and the ironstone was flying.  I was smiling at the women with armloads of ironstone, passing pitchers and tureens to my “guys” to hold for them while they scooped up more. We sold so much stuff that I was starting to wonder if I would have anything left at the end of the day, but I do!  Since there is a day two of Lucketts, I thought I would share some of the big pieces that are left… The Eulalie’s Sky cabinet didn’t sell!  I couldn’t believe it,

If this is your first time shopping my space at the Lucketts Antique Market, this post is for you!  If you’re a regular, this will just give you some updates or maybe get you geared up for the event.  I’ve been asked a lot of questions about what to expect from the fair and my booth in particular, so I thought I would share a shopping guide to answer everyone’s questions at one time.  Here we go… THE WHERE For those who have attended before, I’m in the same place I’ve been for the past three years, but I now have three spaces instead of two.  If you’re new, I know an overhead view of the event might not help very much, but here it is.  My booth is located in the red circle.  So, I’m located on the gray gravel at the corner of the pea gravel.  If you’re

The Lucketts Spring Market is just one week away!   I teeter between bring-it-on and give-me-just-another-week!  I’ve already started stalking the weather report and my pile of finished furniture and packed boxes is rapidly growing. This week is about finishing the pieces (mostly upholstery) that I’ve been procrastinating on and doing some easy last-minute things like sewing pillows, glittering tiaras, making SOLD tags and tagging items I bought on my trip to Virginia.  I’ll also try to squeeze in some last minute shopping, if I can.  The truck gets packed up Thursday night and we’ll haul everything down on Thursday.  I usually wait to set up until Saturday morning, but last year we had a morning drizzle and I ran out of time.  I was still unpacking boxes when the crowds descended and I hated that.  I work so hard and have a plan in my head and I am

It’s time for Lucketts giveaway number two!  We’re still sorting out the winner of the “Lucketts is worth hours in the car or taking my shoes off at the airport” giveaway and will announce the winner soon. Until then, here’s our next giveaway – it’s called “the gang’s all here” giveaway!  Can you guess what that is? Shopping at antique fairs is something that’s more fun to do with friends.  Well, usually…if you’re not elbowing each other over a piece of ironstone, that is.  The Lucketts Spring Market has been growing each year, partly due to word of mouth and friends inviting friends.  We want to reward those who are caravanning and carpooling to attend this awesome event that totally lives up the hype.   We will be giving away free entrance to the fair PLUS 30 minutes early admittance to the largest group attending the fair together.  That doesn’t
